The Ache and The Pull of It

Neville

The Ache and The Pull of It

 

To be honest and fair,

I imagine,

I probably feel much

the same way

as any other old fella

might feel,

under the impossible

circumstances,

of your most recent

   ultimatum ..

Okay, in a single word,

   I feel SCARED ..

   But for you my love ..

I shall always

deny the lure, the ache

   and the pull of it ..

Whilst also, avoiding

and at all costs,

the acute and likewise

compelling

cravings and of course

the draw of

me trying to fill another

blank page,

   with her name written on it ..

    Ultimatums are sort of bossy. I don’t like them or retaliation which is even worse. My mind wandered here within your words but it focused on the word Scared and impossible circumstances. There is more here between the lines and yes, it’s a puzzler Neville. And then there is always poetry. Have yourself a great day.

        The muse that got away or just grateful for the name that evades, at least it fills your page. Glad to see you still riding waves my friend! Much peace and respect

          Hello Dan, good to see you my friend .. I had been thinking about you for a while & then you pop up like magic .. How is life treating you these days .. Hope you, the gang and business is fairing well .. Wishing you all the very best of All Good Things, Neville 👍

          Another predictable line form Orchi - I'm scared of what KP's becoming each day through botox. Or scared I won't recognise a trout when I see one! lol.

                  The ultimatums experienced in youth, while often painful, are much more recoverable than those experienced in elder years, when we crave constancy in life. What are we willing to sacrifice for that. So relatable my friend, so true.

                    I was hoping you would show my friend .. thanks so much .. you have been greatly missed .. hope you are now fully recovered and raring to go .. 😎👍

                    • Bella Shepard

                      Got a little way to go yet, but hanging in there. So good to read your words.
