Paper Cups
Some things
just never
seem to change
do they
my petit fleur ..
You see
back then,
in those very
early days
I do so distinctly
recall
that everything
was once
a certain kind of
special
Unblemished
and still white
Yes …
there we both
were
Bathing
in a blank page
and sipping
warm rice wine
from
supermarket
paper cups
Hardly daring to
press pause
and likewise,
unprepared
to wait for night
Just like always …
Do you
by any chance
remember too …

With a scene addressed so well I'm sure she will have quite a coloured memory of it.
Love the way you create with a pastiche of the actual scene.

Ah, yes. the hurried emotions of youth. Surely, she would remember the wine and the frenzy. A small snip of lost emotions that are recalled with a passion that sweetens the recollection and perhaps, the taste of the wine. Loved it. - Phil A.

Neville
No thought for the past, no thought for the future, our energies combined in the glorious present – which will last forever…..And it has – in memory….
Thanks Neville.

this be those kinda whispered 'messages, in a bottle'
that had the Helen's of this world - abandon
their loyalties: for a heart's vehement desires
and wars that launch timeless tales
upon that unconquerable sea, of poetic ink..
A great write my friend, wonderfully executed pacing and flow
.............. in this great auction hall of life, as we know it .. this humble would be scribe and poet does thank thee my very fine literary friend for submitting such a heart-warming bid ...............
... a series of very fond thank you's shall undoubtedly follow L.B ..
... Neville
