Curtains Calling

Neville

Curtains Calling

 

I can almost see the ocean

from her bedroom window

the wind is blowing a gale

and the curtains are dancing ..

 

I am here only because

of my love for beauty

and my eyes are drawn again

to those dancing curtains ..

 

This morning, they appear

even more beautiful

than the lady busy showering

after last night’s exertions ..

 

I have another ladies number

I keep for emergencies

she is more a friend these days

and does not believe in curtains ..

          The break has done me the world of good.

            Welcome back

          • Bella Shepard

            The eyes are always drawn to movement, ever searching. Beautiful! Be safe my friend, until you return wishing you all good things.

            • Neville



              Bless you Bella .. it is good to be back even though I quite enjoyed my Caribbean cruise .. the beast Beryl followed us closely until we shook her off before we hit St' Maarten .. Kindest of sentiments reciprocated my friend .. Neville

              and this is my plea for a curtain call ASAP, Neville.

              Wot no timing at all re your return?

              • Neville



                Oops, an unfortunate slip up and most uncharacteristic of me .. but am now most recently returned .. Neville

                • Doggerel Dave

                  I had a terrible feeling in my water that we (legit. usage) would not see you for a veeeeery loooong tiiiime..... Glad to welcome you back.

                  • Neville

                      Thanks for your concern oh' golden one .. but fortunately, I seem remarkably non accident prone .. I even managed to dodge Beryl mid Caribbean so consider my self most fortunate .. Neville
