Ten Years After

Neville

Ten Years After

 

Ten years from now,

I am reasonably sure

I may not remember

your name, or your

number, should you

ever dare give them

to me .. But have no

doubt at all, I am sure

to recall, that fire in

those eyes of yours,

the like of which,

I had not seen before

and may never again,

until the day that I die

    Same could be said about these exchanges of poetry. But perhaps they would have to be read aloud as the eyesight is gradually but surely fading as well.

      what an interesting view you propose.

    • dusk arising

      like tail lights in the snow... with no indication of where or how far they will go

      • Neville



        Precisely ................................ thank you 🙂

      • Fay Slimm.

        Love 's memory is timeless and its fire never alters. A comforting read dear friend.

        • Neville



          I am delighted you should see it my way, thanks Fay x

        • JoyJoy

          • Neville



            you just made each corner of my mouth involuntarily reach for the ceiling .. thank you and kindly 🙂

          • Doggerel Dave

            The residue, since the data so obviously redundant....but such residue........

            • Neville



              indubitably sir 🙂

            • orchidee

              Did I meet such a lass?! lol.

              • Neville



                if you can't remember her, then I very much doubt it

              • Dr. Soma

                Beautiful, Poet.

                • Neville

                • Bella Shepard

                  An encounter, seared upon the mind, not easily forgotten. Though time may dim the details, the impact remains and serves to comfort. So well versed dear friend.

                  • Neville



                    Thank you Bella ....... another very much appreciated visit from a very dear literary friend .. Neville

                  • Accidental Poet

                    Sounds like love at first sight to me N.

                    At reading your title, I'd thought this was going to be about the rock band Ten Years After. But I was still not disappointed.

                    • Neville



                      thanks my friend .. and what a great band they were/are .. best known for their early stuff, but still going .. their last album was released not long ago, I got it last year as a present from my daughter 🙂

                    • Goldfinch60

                      That love will never be forgotten.

                      Andy

                      • Neville


                        thank you GF60 🙂

                      • Kinsey Peterson

                        We may not remember numbers, but we remember words. Yours are particularly touching and help to embed the muse in time for the rest of eternity. Thank you.

                        • Neville



                          and you ma'am are far too generous .. thank you & truly .. Neville

                        • Aradhya

                          A moment together is far more valuable than an eternity apart and such a memory accompanies one for life and perhaps beyond. Because it's a connection between souls and forever embedded in the heart. Time passes yet it's a moment frozen in time. A beautiful sentiment told in lovely verse Neville. Loved this!❤

                          • Neville



                            You clearly have a keen eye and have a wise head on those young shoulders my friend .. thank you so very much Neville 🙂

                          • L. B. Mek

                            Brilliant!
                            (nothing, is scorched into memory like the wrath
                            of the one, you once trusted with all your heart...)

                            • Neville



                              I am quite partial to the term brilliant .. even if I do say so my self ..... bless you brother Mek 🙂
