Yours Truly A. Victim .. & Maybe Just Maybe

Neville

Yours Truly A. Victim

 

   Because I won’t hurt you, you hurt yourself ..

But then,

you always tend to blame everything on me

   don’t you ..

 

 

 

Maybe Just Maybe

 

The difference and the distances

between resurrection,

resuscitation and reincarnation

are but a mere heartbeat,

   a blink and a few breaths away ..

    Yes, the first one - KP always blames me of course!
    The second one - KP says to me - 'If you believed in reincarnation, I will come back to haunt ya!'
    I must say you're saving a lot of ink using 2 dots .. instead of 3 ... each time.
    'Go back to sleep now, you're rambling,' says Fido to me.

            So many life experiences are piled up in a few short words, it's like seeing a fragment of the path you followed.

            • Neville



              Thank you rin .. that'll do nicely .. Neville

              Neville. The first poem so identifiable. I think we all have felt this. So well put in so few words blame, returned for kindness given. The second poem also so true reflections of the same image in different mirrors. Poetic breaths of the air around us.

              • Neville



                Many thanks my friend ..

                Ahem. *cough, cough* erm, this, THIS is you pissed off? You're such a gentleman at it, I rather wish we were better acquainted. What I actually love about these two dainties is how very eloquent they are, (excepting my fundamental disagreement with the second in one point). Besides, take Genesis 3: who put the blame on his creator? We make our choices but prefer casting the blame on, yes. But if resuscitation and resurrection were siamese twins, there is no hope. Okay, enough of me. Beautifully rendered with a delightfully haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing. (Put on the kettle and have Barry's; it'll give you relative peace of mind in lieu of that piece of mind, if you catch my drift.)

                  I caught your drift and got happily sucked in .. many thanks Missy ..

                      Fine writed, Neville. Very astute.

                      • Neville

                        I’m leaving the first; there’s too much of it about. Very little ‘me’ in this comment - it’s everywhere.
                        Second (this mentioned by someone a while back) Anesthesia in hospital links all those for me. Thanks for defining it in that way, Neville.
                        PS: What is the ‘pissed off’ about?

                        • Neville



                          Thanks for stopping by Dave it just wouldn't be the same without you .. and hey' you know better than to ask a gentleman .. and anyway, the moment has passed .. Neville

                          The first seems a bit "passive-aggressive" for both the "you" and the 'I.' The second could not be any truer. Administered on time it is "resuscitation," A heartbeat too late and, if successful, "resuscitation" becomes either "reincarnation" or "resurrection." Yeah, but who's counting? Loved 'em both. - Phil A.

                            You are a diamond Phil .. thank you most kindly and then some sir .. Neville

                            1. Such a shame if true Neville, I hope all is well.

                            2. We will never away from life.

                              A couple of powerful pieces, Neville. A fine write.

                                  The path never runs smoothly. But your poetry is always amusing.

                                  • Neville



                                    How funny is that .. cheers D .. N 🍷👍
