My shaveling boy

Neilton

A blade walks around the earth 

Shedding tears and in search of a rest 

Musing over a torrid affair 

Looking at a memory with a thousand yard stare 

Imbued with melancholia 

The now confirmed fears

Left him adrift and stranded 

The once dashing and lively blade

Rambles through his final resting place 

Fighting the urge to plunge into an early grave

Contemplating whether that would end his pain 

 

My shaveling boy ,

Take a promenade in the land of your past sayings 

Where you vowed to never become a stray 

To never settle for a withering love 

That does not have the approval of God 

Stay far from this covert insanity 

As if it faded into oblivion 

 

My shaveling boy,

You have to land on home soil 

It is time to create your own joy 

It is the epoch of blooming flowers 

You can recover those mortiferous hours 

You can endure this volatile disposition 

But ad interim , mark your region 

Come back to our loving hug

We are here only to rejuvenate your heart 

I beg you to leave the land of the dead 

I beg you to accede my ever lasting help 

It has been there since you left

    I found your entire poem intriguing .. indeed fascinating, would be more precise and I enjoyed every morsel of it .. I also appreciate your authors note which made my interpretation of the infrequently heard but not entirely new to me term, shaveling more informed .. and am glad I guessed right .. I'm gonna give todays gift a dubble πŸ‘πŸ‘and hope your brother is feeling a bit better now .. six years is a long time .. 🀍

      Thank you so much for your kindness and support! I'm glad i helped you remember the word shaveling.
      My brother will surely have some rough days but he is very strong and he'll get over it at some point.thank you once again for always being so kind!

      Reading the authors note, it makes a great deal of sense before I read it. I was thinking of the prodigal son nevertheless a wonderful write in any regard. This poem reflects deep emotions of love, longing, and missing someone very nicely done
