Listen Through the Breeze
Although you may never hear
his mandolin again
Except for maybe on the wind
It would be such a crying shame
if not, indeed a sin
Should you never listen for it
every now and then …
And whilst we are both here
right now
I think that you should know
There are certain
shades and tones I never want
you caught in, ever ..
Such is the legacy of a yesterday
gone oh’ so terribly wrong
So wrong in fact, we might need
prayers mid streams
of precious fairy lights and bunting
And get this ..
I never want you choreographed
For that would be
too much to ask, but want you
So much more
than I did once want you ..
In those flimsy
turquoise triangles, those which,
With all respect
barely covered anything at all
But then you know that don’t you …

Am listening hard after reading this bit of familiar intrigue and thinking I can hear - maybe - - that romantic mandolin - I love this legacy of a remembered yesterday Nev - - now left for readers to unfold their own ending.......... x
Bless you Fay me gurt lovely ............. N 🙂 x
Did you get it together again or not, Nev?
Great flow with some depth - I'm not quite sure just how it was resolved with all that baggage.....
we did indeed but only briefly .. sometimes I guess baggage is a blessing in disguise ... maybe 🙂
Those times passed can be so wonderful but also so sad Neville.
Andy

'I never
want you: choreographed
For that would be, too much
to ask'..
without spontaneity, dear Poet
where would we hang our hopeful hats
that hide, those ever regressing hairlines
of our regretted, shouda - woulda's of life..

uniquely
at your very best, my friend)
