Such a Waste of Fine Words

Such a Waste of Fine Words

 

While these words

may not be perfect,

they are for you

and for you, alone ..

They were not

randomly plucked

from any old

thesaurus but were

conversely

chosen, with great

care, with

respect and indeed,

so much love

that when I finally

threw them

away I was shocked,

deeply hurt

and surprised they

did not fall

and form a love poem

like I had aways

intended for you darling ..

    I never intended my writings to be a love poem for KP in the first place! My pom to here is 'The History of Trouts'. lol.

    • Neville



      Have you been on the alter whine again by any chalice?

    • sorenbarrett

      Oh Neville how many discarded love poems I have written. This speaks right to the heart of it. Some seem too serious some too full of levity and others just plain corny so the floor is littered with paper.

      • Neville



        Tis good to know I'm not the only one .. Cheers

      • arqios

        Oh man, to be on the other side of that, receiving such pronouncements! Just WOW! Faved and Liked. ❀️ ⭐️

          Many thanks arqios πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

        • rebellion_in_sanity

          Love the feeling of profound longing and perhaps a sense of admission that if the words were right then one might have had his dreams fullfilled. Advanced apologies for misinterpretation

          • Neville


            You never need to apologise to me .. I appreciate you taking time out to call and leave something behind for me .. Neville

            Never (or is that neva?) put it in writing - You never know what some jumped up legal eagle might be able to make of it.
            (Why is it that these pieces of yours end up in your blue volumes without commentary, Neville?????)πŸ˜‡

              • Doggerel Dave

                Go on - you could plaster the front cover with orchi quotes and save a little endnote for me at the back....πŸ˜‡

              • Cassie58

                Absolutely ace. Will appeal to EVERY soft hearted woman on the planet. Perfect love poetry Neville. πŸ™‚

                • Neville



                  Now wouldn't that be a fine thing our Cassie .. Bless you my very dear friend .. πŸ’œπŸ·πŸ‘

                • Tristan Robert Lange

                  KP and trouts aside, here’s looking at you Orchi, πŸ˜‚ this is a mighty fine poem, Neville! Seriously, not a waste of words in my book, and I love how β€œI love you” is nestled in there without ever saying it. Not sure if this is a current love or a former one, but this poem delivers, my friend! It certainly, regardless of the words, was NOT a waste of time. πŸŒΉπŸ‘ Bravo!

                  • Neville


                    What a thoughtful visit that was Tristan .. Many thank you's my friend .. Neville

                    "Fine words," like fine wine must struggle to attain their sweetness. Then, the work begins, to sort them out, to refine them, to contain them within a chosen framework and atmosphere. Then, they remain quiet until the correct time for their consumption. I raise my glass to you for this vintage poem. - Phil A.

                    • Neville



                      Bless you brother Phil, thank you so much and I'll drink to that .. Cheers 🍷

                    • Cheeky Missy

                      Tongue in cheek and thereby excused for rousing a saucy and sassy smirk in concluding, despite the sentiment being so seemingly dour, shall we say? Nothing like the waste of sich words, the recipient unable to realize until it is far too late how very valuable they were. Charming and beautifully rendered with a touching poignancy and suitably dainty imagery. Thank you for sharing.

                      • Neville



                        Bless you for calling Missy .. πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

                      • Goldfinch60

                        Thank you dear. LOL

                          ...................... don't mention it πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

                        • NafisaSB

                          wait, there may still be time - if the recipient does not appreciate such unrequited love, we, at least, are deeply touched by the glorious sentiments expressed. keep it up

                          • Neville



                            Now that's what I call really kind of you NSB .. thanks for cheering me up .. Neville

                            • NafisaSB

                              always welcome, all the best
