The Catch in A Love Song
Maybe because,
or in spite of all our loops
we somehow
manage to find ourselves
here again ..
Back where we each feel
we belong
and are most comfortable ..
Looking back
there was no afterwards
was there ..
We were just so fucking
full on ..
And although it may seem
crazy now,
you were so hot I wrote you
into a love song ..
Upon Turning the Other Cheek
Having already hurt him
and big time ..
He offered up the other
cheek, but still
he let her wash his feet
and dry them,
with her hair and shawl
as some kind
of penance, or reward ..
She got real
turned on by that and so
he made
them both bleed more ..
No it doesn’t
hurt he said, and after all,
it is only pain
and not like my losing you ..

Good writes N. Enjoy your break.
Not going until tomorrow afternoon but thanks .. N
KP turned the other cheek, but both cheeks were full of botox. lol.
Erm, goodbye, when you go!
Now you are just being two cheeky
Two for one what a bargain. The first hit me as so typical of relationships all woven in time with crossings and falling back, loopes leaving us back at cross roads and renewals. It is its ending line that shows you to be a poet at heart. The second so full of references to Christ and Mary and the relation of it to a present relationship where pain is not in what one does to the other but in the potential loss of the other. Once again the last line is the clincher. Nice Neville will miss your poems hurry back
You have such a good eye my friend .. many thanks for your heart-warming approval, your encouragement & support .. Kindest Regards, Neville
[We will definitely miss you, Sir; please don't be absent for long.] Fascinating with so much to contemplate, as well as what aka Soren already excellently noted, the second seeming clearly an echo of that incident in the gospels, methinks I'm insufficiently awake yet to comment properly. Beautifully rendered with a haunting poignancy only heightened by the allusion and excellent imagery. Thank you for sharing.
Aww shucks Cheeky .. how very kind .. thank you for coming .. Neville
