That Last Time Look
Although far more
than just
a casual glance ..
But less intense
than a dedicated
stare, of course ..
That last time look
simply cut him up ..
How he so
very much wished
he had gone
blind long before
she had time to cast
it ashore,
from the bow of the
craft that which
then bore her name ..

You met Miss Ticipation yet? or again?!
What I want to know is - When we say 'I see', do we see with our eyes? If not, how do we 'see'?
Do shut up Orchi, says Fido. lol. It means 'I understand', Fido told me, as he knows 99% of everything.
The distance, the the resultant emptiness (will it ever be filled again?)
Not particularly worried if I got this wrong, Nev. I found plenty to cogitate over.
well spotted you old dog ......... 🙂
Ah -is it a boat or a woman I wonder -- the sadness of love's final adieu intrigues yet again mon ami. This glimpse of endings only your pen can poem so very enthrallingly...........x
I like the cut of your jib Fay .. please explain to Mr. O that is not me being rude would ya 🙂 x
To name valuable things after someone, that sure is fine!
if the truth be known, twas a wreck sir ..
Oh yeah, that, until the wreck happens... in both cases, that is.
The story begs to be told.
thanks DA ........ N 🙂
Oh gosh I love your poems. Thank you for sharing your words 🙂
and I love the fact that you took time to check in and leave a little bit of yourself behind .. many of my most sincerest thank you's are on their way to you Joan 🙂
I've been told that, to a sailor's wife, every encounter is a last encounter. She sailed away on the bow of his boat and left you standing on the shore. That look of longing encourages a sense of unfulfillment.
What a concise and exact depiction of parting ways. Thoroughly enjoyed it. - Phil A
I had been wondering where and how you are these last few weeks since my return to the UK .. I hope you & yours are all well Phil .. I also wanna thank you my friend for stopping by and sharing your thoughts on my scribbles today ....... Neville
This is so amazinggggg!!
Neville you have versified the "last look" so aptly.
Be it from a lover, a family member.
It reminded me of my late mother,
and the times she'd glance at me from her hospital bed.
Or the times when she felt better, and gave me her signature mommy stare.
Thank you for this Neville.
Those times definitely have the power to "bear [their] name" forever in our memories.
You are way too kind Rocky .. there is something about that 'look' isn't there my friend .. I have witnessed it may be only a handful of times to date & am haunted by it myself, particularly that on my dear father's face when he knew it was the last time .. Neville
(breakup's need to be confronted
while wearing bullet proof jackets
just like, setting sail comes with life jacket access
for those left behind...)
yeah, been there got the t-shirt
n try as I might, years later
I can't get that regret to wash out...
thank you! Hyung
for me this was somewhat therapeutic to read
and respond to
wise words indeed sir Mek ....... maybe we should think about forming that cult after all .. or at the very least, getting some appropriate t-shirts printed .. 🙂
🍻 to that! lol
