Man Eater

Neville

Man Eater

 

I wonder

and so many times

just how

many loves and lives

were lost

in the making

of this,

your most recent

fantasy ..

At least a dozen

I imagine

and each spun slow

upon

a finely tuned

and then, oh' so

gently turned rotisserie ..

    My dear Nev, you know that you and I are quite like joint souls when it comes to love, I knew this title would be powerful poetry, and also somewhat comical, my sister was and still is a man eater lol love can surely mess up a perfectly good head. Love these ones you remind me of myself and what once I went through ❤️

    • Neville


      cheers Teddy, do you still have your sisters address and cell phone number .. am asking for a friend ❤️

      • Teddy.15

              sadness, in shrapnel
              thickening our heartbeats
              and deflated dreams
              deceiving our appetites
              for a love, replete
              with our forever promises..
              (still we must believe
              dear Poet supreme
              in-between our misses
              exist glimpses of all
              we can ever hope for..)
              loving the wordless winks
              a great read!

                  I know no man-eaters. I'm an egg-eater - the ones I've just beaten! lol.
                  Fido says 'There, there, old Orchi, it's getting late in the day; ya brain's getting addled!' No change there then. lol. Time for me Horlicks.

                  My jungle has now got a smooth path into my future Neville, maybe yours will as well.

                    It's always what you manage to say without saying it for me, personally... The truths scream silently, almost horrifically though, herein. Respect, brother.

                    • Neville


                      Thank you and back at ya Garth ..
