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.
You have such a keen eye, no wonder you can see write through me .. Good job I've got nothing to hide .. Have a super Sunday Cassie .. N 😎👍
Nothing gets past me:) I have X-ray vision and can sniff a rat a mile away.😀 Happy Monday my friend.
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.
there really is something very fishy about you Steven ..
An intriguing write! Ultimatums suck and can leave one bitter......love how you ended the poem..
thanks a whole heap Christina, so good to see you back here my friend .. you have been missed
Magnetic.
Quite possibly
Emotive words Neville.

Cheers Andy
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 .. 😎👍
Got a little way to go yet, but hanging in there. So good to read your words.
.................... providing my back & knee hold out, I shall perform an embu for you this very eve 💛
You are so very sweet, please don't hurt yourself. By the way, what is an embu, brain's still a little foggy. Take good care my friend.
a moving prayer .. moving as in physical, not as in emotive 💛👍
That is beautiful my friend, and so much appreciated. Point of interest: I was being treated for strep throat since May 4th with a 10 day course of amoxicillin, and found out yesterday in a follow up exam, that the strep is still there. I was told that that strep is going around here, and seems to be presenting differently for different people. I never had a sore throat, but have swollen lymph glands, stiff and sore neck and massive head and sinus pressure, brain fog goes without saying. I was told that since COVID, some of the traditional antibiotics used to treat such cases seem to be ineffective. I've just started a new 10 day course of a stronger antibiotic and hoping it knocks the hell out of it. The embu will be a plus!
............................................. Fingers crossed 🤞💛
