Even Sadder than That Even
It fell
more silent than the
snow
was falling
and lighter than light
even ..
Not to mention sadder
than the
sound and the sight
of those
war ravaged orphan
children
playing in the rubble
and the dust
of some recently
discarded village ..
So now listen voyeur
heed
and take note ..
For there beside those
dead nurses
and doctors, the sound
and the smell
of your canvass burning
only moments
after being
so delightfully brushed
is a whole
brave new world away ..

A poetry
A message of resurrection I seek
There you lay those magnificent lines
So well inked with blue describing the red that coloured the world canvas
Hope I see in the prose
Happen to believe to the belief of yours
A new world with a virtue called peace
your words are a poem in their own write .. and I thank you for leaving them for me to find my friend
The ruin of the roots of beauty itself cries in your words today. For what shall we build upon the ruined lifes but more opportunities for the human spirit to reveal how vile it can be. Like atwisting knife between the ribs of our hopes for brotherly love and world peace.
A timely thought provoking piece Neville (please have a peep at "premonition" i posted on the 8th april). Our peace loving achilles heel is tweaked into anger.
Bless you DA .. and consider it done sir ........................................................... N
'So now listen voyeur'
this line
this break of poetic voice
this brave, artistry!
is why I'm a proud fan
dear Poet, Supreme!
(as-ever
I read and learn)

I too, have to fight
those enraged tears
from submerging my reality
into, utter despair..

Great job. Currently our world is drowning in the evilness that is humankind. I pray for better days. Amazing and touching poem.

This is a magnificent poem, Neville. Magnificent but terribly sad.I can't even watch the news anymore. Hopefully some day the world will know peace. Fantastic job!
and You missy are far too bloomin kind for words ..........................N
The saddest of sights is ravaged children which your concerned words capture on heaps of rubble to remind readers of the sheer desperation of those found after fire and death
- -- bewildered and weeping young faces do indeed need living and caring doctors and nurses - - shame on leaders unworthy of a new world of peace.................x
