It’s All in the Way that She Eddies and Flows
Since like a river, you eddy and flow
I find myself looking
for somewhere or something
or somewhere to go ..
In the meantime however, I listen
and I feel for you
in the dark of the night and
the gold of each new day with you ..
Don’t expect me to wait tho' till the
floods come around again ..
When that moment is gone there’ll be
no turning back on my keel again ..

Wow, great job Neville! I love this metaphor. I feel this is about relationships that can be quite hectic like tumultuous waters until they become "floods." But you do the right thing, walk away before it worsens. Marvelous!
you are without doubt a very clever young soul Rocky many thanks for reading into me .. your visits are always appreciated ............ Neville
Once they see the gold, that's it, you keel over. Wonder if women know the price of gold is going up.
thank you for stopping a while to consider these words Paul .. Neville
Poetically expressed, Neville. The joys of love are a constant delight!
thank you .. they are indeed, aren't they DV ............ Neville
Well this clinker built old knacker exposing his keel to brazen sunlight would dread to find himself righted in a flood for fear of dried out shrinkage.
Looks like you're in a safe haven - stay out of the water.
sound advice sir ....................... thank you .. Neville
Good write N.
Cheers Mr. O 🙂
Rocky explained it so well. The weather is playing havoc here too! Good job Neville.
he is good, isn't he .. but then I guess that's why they made so many films about him .. bless you Roz ........................ Neville 🙂
Time to raise the sails and head for the open seas. Sometimes you're sailing along, but at other times you're wrecked by storms, reefs, or worse a dreaded iceberg. Eddies will send you spinning.
You are the boat and she is the river, metaphors for a relation(ship). Just keep her steady and find the open water. Thoroughly enjoyed by me. - Phil A
You have a fine eye Phil and your perception is spot on too my friend ......... many thanks indeed N
That gold can be with you for ever as it has happened to me Neville.

I sure hope so Andy ... and I reckon I'm gonna have to start calling you Midas from now on ... N 🙂
'look what you did
for the millionth time..
wrote down a few lines
and shared it, on-line
so now, you have me
going-off
surpassing my puny talents
limitations
making me dream
of that wannabe poet
I search for
with every coming, tide
of inspiration,
gifting me, a few more words
of scribbled, poesy's
presence, in my life..
thank you! Hyung
for reaffirming my status
as your loyal, Fan
what a corker of a write
dear Poet, supreme!'
(wading
through our sea of despair
we realise
in that callous face of life's, strife
bravado
lacks meaningful spice
and so, all we're left with
is the veracity
of our yearning
and that despair
in our hopeless, reaching..
''Lighthouse, shine
ever-bright
fend my journeys, path
to those arms of warmth
I dream of, between
every blink
and mourn for, in each
wishful, breath
of unrepented: surrender'')
