Notice of absence from Neville
If I get the thumbs up tomorrow from my Doc, I hope to be in Miami on Friday for three days before jumping ship and spending three weeks sailing around South America .. Sheesh, what we do to try n get a touch of inspiration eh' .. Take care while I'm away & please forgive any delay in my going quiet for a while .. Hope to return feeling better than I do write at this moment .. AGT's 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..🧔♂️
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 🙂
Neville
