Banished

Neville

Banished

 

Dear lord,

it feels as though

I might as well not be here at all ..

indeed,

that is precisely how it seems

Ever since

they did elevate the art of breaking up

and it became a science ..

Well here I am,

a very simple man

A mediocre novice, sincerely banished …

    Well so long as the banishment was sincere, Neville.
    You can feel the delicacy and care enveloping you in your abandonment, can’t you?

    • Neville



      .. I am comfortably numb sir .. thank you for asking 🙂

    • Fay Slimm.

      Sad but true Nev. Breaking up is indeed now an art. and methinks when banished it must feel like being invisible. Sighs and more after this read ..............x

      • Neville



        and they say sigh's doesn't matter ... thank you n truly my lady Fay for those you sighed above on my scribble's behalf ................................................. 🙂 x

        When my ex-wife and I separated and eventually divorced, I was left with a feeling of wasted time. I felt like divorce was the toilet of life. But I feel I've recovered well. Great write N. ; )

            Sincere write, Neville.
            Making sense of science…
            Phone snippets over heard in line at the bank
            all from different people.
            “I’m at the bank”
            “I think we should take a break”
            “Donna wont take her meds”
            “Why would he go there if he’s not welcome?”
            “I’m not coming back”

            • Neville



              Yep .. as I was sayin .. cheers JR ...................... wot meds 🙂

              • Jerry Reynolds

                Nothing fun I'm sure.

                I read this again to remember that water I once floated in and never ashamed to say I can drift back to it! Yet here I am in a place I thought was impossible to reach and keep but what else in life is there to do.

                I've been told recently I should get over life being hard. For the respect I have for her, I could only think I guess so.

                Hope wherever this writing came from, it lightens your wonderful soul!

                Keep sailing on!

                • Neville



                  words can be both cruel and kind my friend .. maybe that's why I keep my mouth shut and try to write poetry .. thanks Dan and truly ..

                  • Poetic Dan

                    I hear you on that! Had to go somewhere and at least we appreciate it!

                    Hello Sincerely Banished
                    Here, in the US, they have mastered this art of science, since the 60’s, and like other exports, have done so with this as well.
                    Marriage has now become a passing phase, but at least we have your words of solace

                    • Neville



                      .......... a universal trend my friend ... and thank you for stopping by for a while .. 🙂

                    • dusk arising

                      I recall the feeling of having been used and wasted... culminating in pointlessness. Your words capture this well.
                      I remain ever tainted towards 'marriage'.

                      • Neville



                        thank you DA .. I get ya drift sir ... when me imagination gets the better of me, the pen just seems to take over ....................... maybe 🙂

                        Breaking up can be so painful but I am sure it can be remedied in time.

                        Andy

                        • Neville



                          what a kind word you have for everyone Andy .. dont ever change mate .. thank you for looking out for us all here ... no need to worry on my behalf though, I can't remember the last time I broke up with anyone .. I do scribble about it quite a bit sometimes .. who knows, poetic license I suppose 🙂

                        • myself and me

                          Sincerely banished, I simply lost my words.

                          • Neville



                            Many thanks to both of ya regardless 🙂

                          • L. B. Mek

                            Amen!
                            I think so many
                            who are fighting with their perception of faith
                            whether it be: in love, in belief - or in life, itself
                            can so easily, relate to your words;
                            just another sublime gem you've weaved
                            from your mind's endless pool
                            of empathetic ink, dear Poet
                            thank you

                            • Neville



                              Thank you my friend .. the kindly glow from such encouraging words has warmed my cockles nicely 🙂
