Afterwards #2  

Neville

Afterwards #2

 

After the act, she took his heart and soul

and used them both

as a hostage and a shield to hide behind ..

 

And though whilst never truly lost

she was so perfectly misplaced ..

Dark as a drawer full of shadows folded ..

 

Oh’ what joys and sorrows lie ahead

he thought, but would gladly set you free,

just so as he, might capture you once again ..

                        Just enough twist and turns in this folded drawer to give this poem, the interest of looking for that lost piece. Most lovely with great word choice.

                          Very well written, she took his heart and soul and used them both as a beacon and a guiding light to shine forth, truly lost she was so perfectly transformed

                          • Neville

                            This is Shakespeare being cheeky-love the imagery of “Dark as a drawer full of shadows folded…”

                            • Neville

                                Feels exhausting... hope he has the energy to see it through...... to wherever it may be....

                                • Neville



                                  The whereabouts and outcome were indeed, both memorable .. 😎👍

                                  I felt the poem convyed an universal paradoxical desire. We like to be chosen but being chosen could only happen if the person choosing was free. Once a relationship establishes the choice goes away. So setting someone free could start the cycle again. Right interpretation or wrong, I loved the poem!

                                  • Neville


                                    I am more than happy with your take on this little scribble my friend .. thank you most kindly .. Neville 😎👍
