Notice of absence from Neville
For anyone that might be interested, I fly to Lisbon Portugal later today and then hop on board a mighty big ship (at least I hope it is) then sail around the Mediterranean for a few days calling at Madeira, the Canaries etc etc .. then up to Cape Verde for a few more .. and then across the Atlantic to Brazil calling at eight different ports .. If all goes according to plan, I should be in Rio de Janeiro for my birthday mid December .. Please note, this has nothing to do with work, it's very selfishly, just for me .. I plan to be back around the 15th December .. Stay safe and write on .. Kindest of Regards & All Good Things, Neville 🤍

An Uncertain Kind of Aloneness
When we first met
her hair was
the same colour as
tropical sand
caressed by waves
and the sea ..
So when I close my
eyes slow now,
I can maybe still
find us,
on an empty beach
somewhere
and with any luck
about to become
naked ..
Although we are
never alone are we ..
They just
placed a camera
and a microphone
inside the belly
of my mandolin ..
How else can they
possibly
continue to rape
and abuse us ..
Now that our pride
and dignity are gone ..

Mandolin eye and a belly-full of strumming…makes for interesting days.
There's just never a plectrum around when ya need one though is there .. cheers CB .. Neville
Sometimes the tip of a keycard or library card will have to do… 💳🪪😁
Mmmmmm long, lost, abused love? Just a thought....💜💜💜💜💜
it's more than just a thought though isn't it LIZ .. its one o them that makes ya think UFFFF innit ..💜
Good write N.
I wanted to write 'A certain kind of aloneness - without KP'. Well, I suppose I hardly see her in person - only on TV, in papers, etc, or if I collect her from the botox clinic. She's there 23 hours of every day. lol.
I suspect that you are destined to forever be alone .. but hey that leaves the rest of us 8 billion or so to have loadsa fun ..
this really touched me thank you it feels so vulnerable and distant at the same time 🙂
and You my friend are far too generous .. many very sincere thank you's are now on their way way to you .. Neville 🤍
Best not the open beach, sadly .
Lock the door, draw the curtains...oh, and leave the mandolin outside.... Evokes though a strong feeling of nostalgia of course, the first part - the rest I'll take with a grain of....sand....
You aint still delirious are ya .. and why, when I close my eyes, do I imagine you scratchin yourself all over .. in a corner, you old Dog you 🙂
Imaginative...creative.. you'll be doing a verse or two next................................................................ Certainly scratching my facial fungus after seven weeks..🧔♂️
You two need a room? Meanwhile, I'll just look the other way. 👍
we had a room but wore it out .. Oh' and thanks for turning the other cheek my friend .. 😎👍
The least I can do for fellow poet. 😀
That pride and dignity can be re-awakened Neville and all will be fine.
Andy
Cheers Andy .. but don't fret .. sometimes my pen as a mind of its own and takes over ..
Excellent work my friend.
Very kind sir and much appreciated also 🙂
