Down With Everything

Neville

Down With Everything

 

Done with those

candles

down with those

tears

Done with those

tantrums

and irrational

fears

Done with those

prayers

the stamping of

feet

Tired of histrionics

and

blackmailing bleat

Done

with those lies

and her

churlish acting out

now when

she looks in a mirror

and when

she brushes her hair

Somewhere

over her shoulder

perhaps

she might just make out

the reflection

of a blue eyed man who

maybe

once used to care ...

        Good Mane dear Laura ....... Your nocte, I guess ... Yes, my eyes are blue ... & for the purpose of this latest scribble the candle seemed to fit ................. but in the real world, and just between You & Me .. I have had a sage scented candle burning 24 hours a day for several months now and shall only let it burn out when I get the all clear and okay .......................................................... 🙂 Neville 🌻

        Now I'm wondering - should I meet her? Is a she a drama queen?!
        And am I a blue-eyed boy?! lol.

        • Neville



          Not this one .. not if you have any sense .. she would turn your yellow pelt bright red & then some .. but then, she is only a pigment of my imagination ........................................................................ 🙂

          That becoming pernickety never does the trick of alluring - - lovers can become addicted to fuss - give me a partner who needs no mirror to reflect a beautiful heart..............x

          • Neville



            .................. what an endearing response you have gifted me & pinned to my scribble dear lady ... x

          • Doggerel Dave

            Dating that nun again Nev?
            Well good for her if she still inspires rhythmic verse like that.......

            • Neville



              gonna give this one a miss if you don't mind mate ..................... but thanks DD .. N 🙂

            • Paul Bell

              Yes, when the door closes for the final time, no reflection is bringing it back.

              • Neville



                I very much think you are write Paul ...................................................................... cheers N 🙂

              • dusk arising

                Done with them, done with them, done, done , done.....but soddit they're still there in my memory goading me.

                Why are the relationships with sharp edges, maybe tempestuous ones, the ones which continually trip into out memories?

                • Neville



                  .. I imagine the answer would be similar to the response climbers invariably give when asked why they climb mountains ... ergo Because they are there ........................................................... maybe 🙂

                • Dove

                  Oh my, time changes things and not always for the better! Great Rhythm and Rhymes

                  • Neville



                    You are so bloomin write ................................................... thank you Dove .. N 🙂

                  • Lorna

                    Oh I liked this from the title onwards..... someone has just so HAD IT. I've had days like this.....

                    • Neville



                      snap then ................... maybe we should form that cult after all ................. cheers Lorna .. hope you are well ................................ and stay safe .. Neville

                    • Garth Rakumakoe

                      When one does not even flinch anymore. It's the oddest thing that in love people bring others to such a point. Love is best enjoyed drama-free. Very well penned.

                      • Neville



                        it seems you know what you are talking about as far as the love thingy is concerned .. thank you maestro ........................................................ N

                      • spilleronsheet

                        Love the one who loves you back
                        Often the fools fail to recognise until it’s too late to be cherished
                        Another great message by strong emotive sir
                        Well done

                        • Neville



                          wise words indeed & kind ones too ... thank you dear spilleronsheet
