No Looking Back Again
Looking back like that
over her
shoulder, the way
that she
always did, with those
far away
eyes of hers, like flashing
blue lights
tho’ somehow demurely
at our
old here and there’s ..
Yes there,
where we once shared
discreet,
all too brief moments
with my
breath on those lips
of hers
cold, dark and lingering
like some
tasteful, eternal eclipse ..
Back then,
I clearly remember
I had no
expectations and not
once
felt that way before ..

Good writing Neville ))
I especially like these lines
‘far away
eyes of hers, like flashing
blue lights’
mysteriously lingering
like some
tasteful, eternal eclipse ..
thank you my friend, you just helped kick my day off to a good start ................... Neville 🙂
The pathos of losing what way back was hoped for of "old here and theres" comes over so touchingkly in these lines of memory dear friend.
A read to remember so tucked into my favourites...........x
You really are most kind Fay .. and on behalf of both my pen and me, I thank thee .......... N x
It's almost like a sinful succulence, isn't it? Memory. For its sake men die every day. It's cruel, so very sweet, sour, and always ready to grab you by the neck. I wonder which one this is for the Author. A splendid read, Sir Neville. Thank you for the kick in the head. (A jumpstart really)
a most welcome visit .. how kind you are sir .. many thanks indeed .. Neville
Should I meet her? lol.
I'll give you three guesses .................. N 🙂
"Don't look back!" they tell us, yet we always do! How can we not? Bitter-sweet memories still have their pull on our hearts and minds! A poignant poem, with universal appeal, I believe, Neville! Beautifully expressed!

Dean Martin,s song -
Take one fresh and tender kiss
Add one stolen night of bliss
One girl, one boy
Some grief, some joy
Memories are made of this
best describes my feeling about your post today.
