Come Let us Dance Some More

Neville

Come Let us Dance Some More

 

Come let us both

dance

some more, then

bathe

beneath a shower

of finest

frozen ash and

hungry acid rain ..

Then

and only then

maybe ..

We might just

make

our way to your

somewhat

battered temple

door ..

Each of us naked

but

with not even a

hint

of regret between us ..

  • Fay Slimm.

    Yes despite acid rain let the dancing continue - cleverly writ the "battered temple doors" give a semi-ironic view of those who unhearing always condemn but where defiant nakedness will have no regrets - - aptly woven this piece of perceptive imagery to keep us all dancing dear Nev.... ........x

      Bless you dear lady Fay ...................... x

    • Doggerel Dave

      You gotta do wot ya gotta do given the circumstances, I suppose, Nev. Regret on any form is regrettable (!) - ultimately futile....

        there's not a single word you just said that I can find any fault with DD even the punctuation is spot on sir .................... Neville

        Once you are with the right person there are never any regrets Neville.

          ('vulnerability
          is a curse, as much
          as being a path
          to our emancipation's
          self-worth..'
          but we must be so
          so
          careful, who
          we choose to intrust
          for those battered doors
          betrayed, once more
          may jam themselves, locked
          for life..)
          Hyung
          I know your profession
          affords you so much insight
          into the 'human psyche'
          but, your poetry
          zooms-in and unfurls
          those most knotted of situations
          we all come across in life
          and somehow makes us realise
          its alright
          we're not the only ones, scared
          to let someone in
          scared to offer ourselves, once again
          scared
          of this fear, we carry deep inside
          that this time, it might all work out
          then what
          then what do we do, with all this
          bruises and scars..

            insight can be a bitch of a double edged sword, can't it, my friend .................... many of my most sincerest thanks brother Mek .. N

            I was OK until I got to 'naked'. Then it brought on a swoon. It would! lol.

            • Neville



              why am I not surprised .. you need to get out more, the both of ya ................. N 🙂

              • orchidee

                I'll get my coat then... Ohh, I won't need it for naked! lol.

              • Accidental Poet

                Dance as you wish N, but don't be surprised if a swooning Orchi dances circles around you both. 🤣

                • Neville



                  Nothing would surprise me when it comes to Mr. O AP ...... N 🙂

                  The dance is always divine, no matter how, no matter wear (pun intended). Dance on my friend. What fun!

                  • Neville



                    and you, my fine literary friend, are far too kind for words ....................... x
