Sun Sighted but Otherwise Unassuming
Who could forget those eyes of his
with more than just their hint of yellow ..
From staring at the sun too long, he said ..
Well maybe, but ..
Surely, he was more than just blind and anyway
I might just add here, for old times sake ..
He was otherwise, an unassuming little fellow ..

Self-portrait? I dunno but ya nailed me!
I may be unassuming, but I assure you, I still have my baby blue eyes .. and of course, my hammer .. N 🙂
I'm a 'blue eyed boy' of course, teachers pet, etc! lol. Pet? That must be Fido.
.................................................................................................. 🙂
Is that a no comment? lol.
Met but never forgotten I guess is that unassuming small chap - -- within your memory his sun-blighted eyes no doubt take centre stage - - a portrait worthy of sharing which you penned so well dear friend.
thank you kindly Fay .. the chap in question passed away within a few days of our first meeting .. I believe his liver gave up on him, but he persisted in denying he had an alcohol problem to the very end .. x
That kind of denial is often most dangerous - -- yet he is penned into readers minds now as perhaps methinks an example of yielding to over indulgence for much too long.........x
yes indeed, at least a record of his existence is now locked in time, even if I now struggle to remember his full name x
A prey to some ultimately addictive substance, or mystic?
Never managed to obtain a toxicology report then, Neville?
So why not give the poor old bugger the benefit of the doubt?
A gem of an enigmatic write.
refused to give bloods .. refused to admit he wanted nothing more than the next drink .. refused just about everything in fact .. may he now RIP
No doubt there, no enigma - thanks for clarifying, Neville.
A lot to think about here, Neville.
sadly, just another day at the office Jez ................................. Neville
The jaundiced eyes may tell all when the mind does accept, 'tis easier to stare at the sun. An intuitive write my friend.
Bless you B .................... N.
Memories are always there of people we have met Neville.
Andy
quite write & true Andy 🙂
A very good one dear Neville…maybe he was lovestruck or blinded by his dreams…wonder what kept him amused…
I dunno but I believe he used to twiddle his thumbs ...... 🙂 thank you Spills & kindly too 🙂
