An Uncertain Certainty

Neville

An Uncertain Certainty

 

While plagued with such contagious self-doubt as this

I really must

somehow learn to love or to like her less, he thought ..

    Ah - I see a breakthrough to self confidence peeping from doubt in this telling reflection- - -always the best plan is a bit of introspective thinking when love becomes too one sided methinks ...... strange that my post today says a similar thing mon ami.........x

    • Neville

        Talking about fillers, I am thinking more and more about introducing you to my friend who is a taxidermist 🙂

        lovely shorty Hyung
        I couldn't help but try and scribble a little reply
        (boldly, we dive
        'Hope' first, trepidation
        pulsing, in each
        stuttering breath and yet
        still, managing a smile
        knowing
        this, is as magical as life gets...)

          your hastily scribed response is indeed magical Mek & tho' brief, it stands tall and casts a golden shadow o'er said page

        • Bella Shepard

          In matters of the heart it seems, the head grapples with emotion and a choice is made, always hoping it's the right one. Good write my friend!

          • Neville



            thanking you kindly Bella

          • Kinsey Peterson

            oh gosh, following a breakup this poem hits hard

            • Neville



              under the circumstances outlined, I am mighty grateful to you for leaving anything behind ..

              "contagious self-doubt," caught from getting too close? Would loving her less reduce the risk?
              Sometimes emotions are as transferrable as Covid.. _ Phil A.

              • Neville



                for a while back there, I was toying with the idea of 'contentious self doubt' in the hope you might put me on the write track ....... but now, I see you have .. so cheers Phil A

                My own Uncertain Certainty -

                "I really like old guys", she said.

                Minuscule pause followed by an encouraging response seasoned with a smattering of caution:

                "Oh yes?" I said.

                • Neville



                  my first real chuckle all weekend ........... so far 🙂

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    It's enough.... do come back and reference the rest....... I need as many good laughs or chuckles as I can get.... have a good weekend, Nev.
