A Certain Kind of Highness

Neville

A Certain Kind of Highness

 

When I am with you, looking down like this

across the tops of rows of forest trees ..

 

When I am with you looking down on rolling waves

and upwards, through the surf, toward the sky ..

 

Such things, must surely be a measure

of just how high you always make me feel ..

  • Fay Slimm.

    Ah - - another gem to lift readers hearts Nev. -- - From the title alone I could feel the closeness to someone well loved seeping out of metaphor. Such is what's offered in a truly classical romantic ode.

    • Neville



      Bless you dear Fay .. I most surely owe ya one ................. N x

    • Paul Bell

      Some just lift your spirits and keep them lifted, even when you're down, and you don't think you deserve it.

      • Neville



        Absolutely, spot on Paul 🙂

      • orchidee

        Yes, your Majesty - notice my bow to you there?! lol.

        • Neville


          I thought you might at least have had the decency to swoon upon your return Mr. O 🙂

          Poetic masterclass

            You are far too generous by half my friend, but a huge THANKYOU is on its way to you .. Neville

          • orchidee

            Probably will swoon again soon! lol.

            • Neville



              but not swoon enough sir .......................................... 🙂

              Well done, Neville.
              Captured beautifully, is that feeling when you cross the heliopause of home.

              • Neville



                you can of course fry, boil or poach an egg in a pot or a pan .. but you can do it a darn sight quicker in a heliopause ......... cheers Jez 🙂

                • Bella Shepard

                  Beautifully expressed dear friend, from the heart and soul. It makes me smile and reflect. Thank you! It's a fave.

                  • Neville


                    Wow, and that from a guy who only very occasionally uses the w word .. Thank you so very much Bella 🙂

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    Dunno how I missed this before, Nev - mind if I keep and use at a timely moment in a relationship of mine?
                    Should ensure a beautiful moment or two, no risk.
                    Thanks

                    • Neville



                      No worries DD & I am indeed honoured squire ............ Yours truly, Me 🙂
