Barely Semi Touched
Why don’t you wear your smile
again for me today ..
Just this one last time maybe ..
For old times’ sake
and for those, who once knew
and loved you ..
I double dare you, wear it now,
light, fine and fair ..
Just like you once wore your
off white overalls
and those small black diamonds
in each ear ..
When Jesus, you were nothing
short of fucking perfect ..
Yes indeed, how strange it seems
to resurrect
these now ancient marriage vows
between
those living and the dead ..
And although still so very loved,
in truth,
you can only now be barely
semi-touched ..
And felt and found in crypts,
cold corridors
and similar places of dark worship ..

Should I meet her?!
that would not be easy Mr. O ... Pamela passed away some time back now, but her presence can still often be felt ................................................................... Neville
Sorry about that N. I never know if your gals are fictional or non-fictional.
Ah the unquenchable miss of those who loved are now barely available ........ only semi-touched but still remembered. -- A heart-tugging read Nev.
thank you dear lady Fay ............................................................................ & correspondingly much more than merely mightily appreciated 🙂
Semi touched but.... in cold places? Thoughts and memories linger in the heart and as they call out the heat is intense. So intense it has to be stepped back from, hoping to find cooler more pacifying coping thoughts.
thank you kindly DA ... and if only ................................................. N
If a scale could measure the depth of love
Only if
Suddenly there were words to count the love
And those words stringed in poetry
So intense and so deep
Yet why so heart wrenching
Love leaves us abandoned, separated when fate makes a sudden change
bless you spiller ........................................................................... N
Neville,
Yes it is strange at times
‘to resurrect
these now ancient marriage vows
between
those living and the dead ..
And although still so very loved,
in truth,
you can only now be barely
semi-touched..’
Sometimes it’s voluntary and at other times it’s involuntary…depending on our state of mind…at least for me.
Thank you for sharing.

A fine write, Neville.
Memory is persistent will show up uninvited but always welcome.
thank you kindly sir ... hope all is well in your world & wishing a FAB 2022 ............... N
Someone we love will always be remembered, often unexpectedly. An old picture, a song on the radio, words in a book, in so many ways. Thank you for sharing.
