Barely Semi Touched

Neville

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 ..

        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

            • Neville



              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.

                    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.
