A Sight Well Worth Going Blind For
The day began with a fragrance
that reminded me of you
as it drifted in from somewhere
outside in the garden ..
And for a moment then, maybe
even two, I dare not
move, nor open either eye ..
Through fear of frightening you
away again, my darling ..
But then came the touch and the
aftertaste so many
warriors and lovers have each
chosen to die for ..
When you appear naked like that
at the foot of their beds
tis a sight well worth, going blind for ..

Blind leading the blind? 😁
Your longing, your passion, your beautiful words, your wife. This is such a fragrant and loving write Neville. It has to be special when memories drift in scented. I bet she had a queue of admirers.
Bless you Carrie .. she did indeed & still does ..
I wear dark glasses every night, so the sight of KP is dimmed. I couldn't bear the full, clear view of her! I would never recover. lol.
No personal meaning attached to this, re spectacles. I may put my big foot in it, if I interpret some cryptic poems wrongly - not that this a cryptic one.
if you dig a hole any deeper you will end up in your very own crypt Steven .. 😎
I suppose the answer is not to start digging the hole. Doh!
A lovely tribute to the one you love.

Captivating smile, beautiful lady, a wonderful carefree moment preserved in a pic. This is such a touching poem to your dearest heart. Lucky fella I'd say!
Bless you my very dearest of Bella's .. the old fella knows it and is quite sure you are write ..
Love begins with the physical attractions and is remembered in the same way. This poem is a wonderful tribute to a lover. We all remember loves from the past and present with the greatest fondness. Whether it be a "fragrance, a "taste" or a "touch" that initiates the memory the sensation is felt as real. Wow, what a tender way to express one's love for another. _ Phil A.
You are, as is almost always the case incredibly astute and insightful Phil .. and far too generous my good fellow .. Neville
With a wife like mine a may go blind.
Well we can't all be winners, or come out on top, all the time can we .. We makes our bed and then has to lie in it .. or so it is said.
That's an angle, we reap what we sow, also.
Wonderful loving words Neville.
Andy
I am delighted you alighted Andy .. Cheers .. Neville
