Strategically Lost

Neville

Strategically Lost

 

It was there where we lay,

I got so dreadfully lost

and for a moment or two

was quite beside myself ..

 

Drowning,

but slow in those

deep luxurious folds

our shadows

did then jointly cast ..

 

As we became naked

together

and bathed in the warm

afterglow

of old cranberry glass ..

 

Which by some chance

she had strategically

placed on the mantelshelf ..

next to her previous lovers ..

 

I am now a man of infinite

leisure and can do

anything she wants me to

and in abundance at her pleasure ..

      If KP and I ever become naked I will never recover! lol.
      My poem about it will start 'As I felt the smoothness of an old trout....' Or 'sagginess' with the botox.

        I think at a push after skinning and stretching your pelt, we may be able to make both a half decent draught excluder and maybe a muff out of you OrchideeπŸ§πŸ‘

        • orchidee

          That's what KP wants to do to me, I recall, now you mention it.

            • sorenbarrett

              Paradoxes of truth blend with familiar idioms into a coherent view of life as it really is. A masterpiece of language and social norms that defy their outward portrayal. Loved it

              • Neville



                Many thanks sorenbarrett .. Neville πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

                Strategy some say is half the game!

                • Neville

                  • arqios

                    Oh, most definitely! πŸ‘πŸ»Strategising seems a lost art in some parts…

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    Right then Sir - if you persist. Cranberry is a really rich colour which can bring out the subtleties in a piece of well molded glass in a very special way.....

                    • Neville



                      I'm going to thank you write here and now Dave .. I have been collecting the old stuff for years .. it is rathe super ..πŸ§πŸ‘

                        Oh great! I hit it at just the right level - didn't go too deep. Thanks for the generous response, Neville.

                      • Bobby O

                        Loved the ending and really smiled as I picture the tint that caused the light to slide into that perfect ambience

                        • Neville

                            Thanking you like this has become quite the conditioned reflex .. my fingers don't need my eyes to see where they are going .. Cheers .. πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

                                    Lost in the warmest place you could find? For a short while anyway. Yet, "abundance at her pleasure" sounds like it may be longer. - Phil A.

                                    • Neville



                                      it lasted for two whole years seven months and three days .. but it was over far too quickly .. and sadly so .. bless you brother Phil .. Neville

                                      You said 'it is what it is'. Please allow me to rephrase - "It is Beautiful as it is". Hope that conveys how I felt while reading it.

                                      • Neville



                                        You are far too kind .. thank you very much indeed, your generosity is greatly appreciated .. Neville

                                      • Dan Williams

                                        Damn I am so jealous. May all your encounters be as pleasant. Nice write.

                                        • Neville



                                          I can assure you that not all have been .. but thanks anyway .. Neville

                                          Keep me hogtied thus with sheer intrigue as your note in conclusion begs off further and I've tried to be good, to fail miserably. Whatever the import, tis expertly rendered with such delicious imagery and that exquisitely haunting poignancy which only winks mischievously at me.

                                          • Neville



                                            Oh' if only ............................. bless you Missy .. πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘
