From a Safe Distance Only
Just listen to that silence
If you dare ..
I guarantee it’s like no
other sound
that you my love, shall
ever likely hear ..
A hollow resonation felt
both loud and crystal clear …
Not to mention deep ..
Yes, it hit him like a freight
train hard ..
Through the very soles
of both his feet ..
And what about all those
fingertips and nudges
You might well ask …
Of course, they hurt too
he would admit ..
Indeed it was those subtle
strokes and gentle prompts
That reminded
him so very much of lovers
long since passed
As yet tho from a safe distance only

Your poet's mind has versed the almost unattainable with this invitation to listen to silence as it resonates. Hurting yes but a reminder of love subtly calling again from the past. A gem again Nev.

Silences can be so informative and so wonderful within our lives Neville.

'he would admit ..

reads like lyrics to a well written country music song
that comes-on between, 4th and 5th drink messy slurps
and has you swimming in yearned-for, memories
till mercifully, by that lost shot of double Sambuca
you bow - out, cold
hoping, memory wipes are invented: by morning...
Just such a great set of lines, my friend
they hit home - arrowed
as if I inked the words myself...
(what greater quality can we expect
from a cherished poem)
thank you!
I am well n truly indulged .. thank you my friend 🙂
