And All Before Our Awakening

Neville

And All Before Our Awakening

 

Did you hear me

just then

check my breath ..

Just to see

if you were still

breathing ..

And did you see,

the corners

of my lips move

due north ..

Before forming

twin arches

and the broadest

of smiles ..

No of course not,

my darling ..

But I assure you,

they did

marry and match

those subtle

shaped brows

of yours,

while you were

obviously

dreaming my love ..

So did you by

any chance feel

my pulse and my

heart both

racing, to be first

to greet you

come morning ..

Again not,

I fear, so where

were you

then my dear ..

And pray whose

gentle

eyelash flutter

did wake us both

from our so

very deep slumber ..

On the occasion

of this,

our first truly

shared morning ..

  • Comment from author about the poem: I post this here today in memory and to honour two dear friends who I hope may have kinda liked it .. I dont know where they are, but I fear their light may be shing somewhere else .. if you knew either Fay or Dusk, have a drink on them with me this evening, since both had hearts & nibs of solid 💛.. cheers Neville

                I hope you find some answers
                Dusk arising is always so kind when commenting
                As for Fay slim
                A diamond and I know how close you both are here and elsewhere
                Heartfelt
                Though shocked me a bit
                Bit gutted if honest

                • Neville



                  thank you Peto, yes it would be good to know what, why, where & how .. very sad indeed, but wishing you and yours all the very best of all good things, Neville

                • Parisab

                  Neville it’s reassuring to know that you care so deeply, may you find some answers…

                  • Neville



                    I find it reassuring that so many others, both openly and indeed, more in privately, share my concern .. but point taken and very muchly appreciated my very dear Parisab .. Neville

                    • Neville



                      many thanks LIZ both were long time buddies & each could spill the most perfect ink .. 💜
