Someone More Golden

Neville

Someone More Golden

 

Have you ever wondered

how it might feel to be no one

to be nowhere and nothing

..

Unknown and unloved

not just presumed missing

but gone and completely

..

Well that is precisely how I feel

this autumn, having been dismissed

and exchanged for someone more golden ..

    Hmm i think i begin to know all these moods Neville. For my personna adjusts to my whereabouts and the task, or lack of it, in hand. Not a split personality you understand, just conscience adjusting to the vibrations around myself.

    Little bemused by your last stanza. Is this self inflicted or has someone exchanged you. I like to think you're describing a self improving spiritual upgrade but I'm unsure.

      a much appreciated visit & comment DA and one that prompted me to tweak these words just a little ................... thank you mate n truly ... Neville

        Aha! I re-read and see. Well Neville, you're a wise old bird and have trod a long path through the camoflaged traps and minefields of hope and pleasures we call life. Temporary feelings of shite are a springboard to better days ahead.... always the way cos the alternatives ain't for the likes of you and me.
        Besides which, shite times improve our poetry no end.
        As i believe is said in Aussie land "she'll be right m8"

          Hope you are just wondering Nev. and not really experiencing the saddest exchange in the world of romance. A feel of despair to this haunt of a read.

              I know this from the core, I felt 14 again at the start of your words.

              If this was truly from yours then I get no words can help you my friend!

              I let this tear of silence bring the deepest of breaths

              Always appreciated
              With much peace and respect
              Keep giving it!

                Just a rehearsal for what's to come, Nev.
                But never you care - it will be orright ...perhaps...one day....

                • Neville

                  They'll go rusty, under pretence of being golden! lol.
                  When I don't sing, they say 'Silence is golden!'

                  • Neville



                    cheers Mr. O ........................................................ N 🙂

                          Neville,

                          Let’s think of it this way…

                          1kt worth of gold is nothing more than a ploy to market something as gold while being significantly cheaper; not worth pursuing…IMHO.

                          To quote Shakespeare…
                          ‘All that glisters is not gold.’

                          I’m glad you’re simply
                          ‘scribbling away’ and there’s
                          nothing to worry about.

                          Laura🌻

                          • Neville



                            a mature, well reasoned and altogether much more positive way of looking on the bright side of things, thank you my golden gilded friend .............................. 🙂 🌻

                          • Goldfinch60

                            Fine emotive words Neville.

                            Andy

                            • Neville



                              thank you kindly Andy ................................................ & then some .. N 🙂
