Fear of Flying Solo

Neville

Fear of Flying Solo

 

She could enter a room, without making a sound

and even those dying, would become more alive ..

 

Yet as she reached for his hand, he kicked his heels

in the sand and he begged her, to just let him go ..

 

So she took him an olive branch and whispered ..

You are not going anywhere today my love ..

 

Unless on my terms, and until you are stronger ..

Then, you may choose to fly solo, without or beside me ..

      I'm torn apart by this one, Nev.
      On one hand I have an absolute conviction that he should have his way without question.
      But, but, but maybe, just maybe........

        thank you for feeling this one DD .. your words here mean more than you might imagine ..

        Doh! None of this applies to me and KP. I let her fly solo whenever she wants. I never hardly see her these days anyway! lol.

        • Neville



          maybe that's a blessing ................. for her maybe 🙂

        • Bella Shepard

          I see love, commitment, selflessness all wrapped up in this touching poem. The willingness to sacrifice for the good of another, whatever the cost, is true devotion. Beautifully written dear friend.

              tough love
              can only exist, if being formulated
              within truly loving heart's
              those brave enough, to let go
              and hope their cherished ones
              will return, when the time is right...
              (simple does it best sometimes
              no innuendo or abstract illusiveness
              just words, depicting a truth
              we all recognise, at a glance
              executed with the practised skill
              of a Poet, supreme!)
