Flawed #2

Neville

Flawed #2

 

there was no obvious bruise

or dent, nor crease

or tear ..

 

in fact, everything at first

seemed quite simply

perfect ..

 

everything, except that is,

for the two of us,

I fear ..

        Neville,
        The grass isnโ€™t always โ€˜greener on the other sideโ€™...is it!?
        Much to ponder upon during this fine day.

          I love this poem, Neville! That last stanza gives much to think about....as we are imperfect even though we wish perfection to be true...wonderful!

          • Neville



            thank you C8 .. just like American Express, that'll do nicely .. he say's in his ever so English accent ๐Ÿ™‚

            And we move on together or apart, hopeful in the revelation and the possibilities that have presented themselves!

            • Neville



              tis truly true .................. thank you ๐Ÿ™‚

              How often do we feel a sense of disappointment when we come to find that all that glitters isn't gold, a sentiment you have captured all too well. Good write my friend!

              • Neville



                all too often Bella ................... thanking you dear friend has become something of a conditioned reflex that I have no desire to change or rid my self of .......... ๐Ÿ™‚

                If you've made it this far with just 2 flaws, my dented hat off to you sir. I missed Flawed #1... using my imagination though...

                • Neville



                  I was fibbing .. I have far too many to list individually and not enough time .. thank you kindly tho my friend ๐Ÿ™‚

                • Doggerel Dave

                  Or, as they once said in the very old days (and I was there though much more recent than Andy and orchi's claimed experience - but long enough): ' No washing your dirty linen in public' ๐Ÿ™‚

                  • Neville



                    cheers Dave ๐Ÿ™‚

                    (My head says we should lock eyes
                    work it out, find a path
                    But this labouring heart, and stifled
                    breath
                    Recognise, we won't survive
                    A heart to heart, devoid of restraint
                    So I look, everywhere
                    But at those eyes, knowing
                    my kindness will be reciprocated
                    for old time's sake, for what remains
                    of what once, was
                    so sincere and pure...)
                    Brilliant!!!

                    • Neville



                      as indeed I did find these word you left here .. and now hereby, I do sincerely thank you for them ..
