Narrow Margins

Neville

Narrow Margins

 

The olive branch

he once

held out for her

Now lies broken

and discarded ..

Consigned

it seems, to the

margin of an

otherwise empty

page ..

Yet he never

once thought,

even for

the very briefest

of moments

he would regret

quite so much,

ever loving you

and all in spite of her ..

      • orchidee

        But there are so many gals, I lose track! Did I make that bit up?! lol.

      • arqios

        A few of these broken branches have been nicked while I wasn't looking and used during the Palm Sunday procession.

        • Neville



          don't try and hang that one on me sir .. I just write about it 🙂

          • arqios

            Wouldn't dream of such a thing, N! Pity though that them perfect branches are broke. Hope she reconsiders. And as an afterthought fortunate they weren't used to give a sound lashing in response.

              you don't just happen to have a bit of swedish or bulgarian in you do ya 🙂

              • arqios

                Not that I know of but one never knows. My dad worked at the Nitro Nobel (a Swedish company) that wouldn't count though.

                I do believe there may just conceivably be unresolved issues there, Nev..

                  neva leave an issue unresolved, unless you like going round and round and round and .. 🙂

                  Regret for ever giving true love makes its telling so needed to those who broke every olive branch offered and are now losers. Hope the sting reaches home Nev. in this piercing piece...............x

                    I know it probably sounds like some old cliche .. but bless you Fay .. x

                    There are those regrets that now and again rear their ugly heads and give pause for thought. Conflicted with past and present, it is a difficulty that often evades resolution. Powerfully worded my friend!

                    • Neville


                      there just happen to be a few occasions when I have no qualms whatsoever about repeating my self .. and reading you here, is just one such occasion .. what an absolute treat to have reinforced the already well-established belief that you think similarly to myself Bella 🙂 x
