Just a Few Things That Made Up a Day
Although as yet, we have not
been formally
introduced, or for that matter,
met in the flesh
so to speak .. I have occasional
dreams, in which
you feature and wherein I play
a small supporting role ..
In the opening scene, you are
always wearing
a brand new, white bath robe ..
With your still
damp and sun-bleached, fresh
apple scented hair,
held loose, in a cool, matching
white towel ..
You are sitting, on an old straw
coloured rice mat
and have a bowl of fresh hand
picked cherries
nestled snugly, between your
feet and your thighs ..
There is a pink gecko lounging
on the ceiling
and outside one of the two open
windows, a pair of
red and orange fire finches are
singing, having been
woken and warmed by a new sun ..
I note that the sky
is still perfect and blue, as it was
yesterday at noon
while cream, bronze and salmon
chrysanthemums
each dance and wave back at me
in the very lightest of
light breezes and from a lime green
glazed pot, on the balcony ..

My word! Leave a man to his musings, and what a dish he cooks up in a relative heartbeat! I mean, for perspective, I'm on my second bowlful of steamy breakfast hash loaded with cabbage, onions, potatoes, and sausage, and you've served up as steamy a dream which sits here now shouldering on the front page as if to leave no brow but perspiring as women faint. Good grief. Why do I want to giggle? Excellently rendered with delicious imagery and a humid poignancy which grapples for the soul. Thank you for sharing.
as far as giggling is concerned ma'am .. I think its the pits .. maybe you dropped one down the front of ya frock .. anyway, I may look into that conundrum later .. cheers & have one on me 🍒.. or two even .. Neville 😉👍
Good write N. KP has an old sack for a dressing gown. I bought it specially for her from a second hand shop. Dunno why she complains! lol. I will buy her something equally cheap and nasty for Valentines.
You are a rotter and a cad you old rodent .. Neville 🐭👍
With a sigh of relief I knew this poem was not about me because I don't have much hair and certainly not enough to wrap in a towel. Never the less this seems a poem about how things are seen, be it in dreams or wishes. A brighter, fresher, more colorful world. A world seen in reflection from reality that sits infront of you. Another stab in the dark. What always amazes me is your precison in meter as measured by the perfect length of each line. A most unique geometric design on the page. Lovely Neville
Your insight becomes you sir & in all respects, many thanks and with much respect .. Neville

Need the light breezes right now, Neville - as for the rest...anytime will do... without being present she and the space feel just what I'd ...

Wonderful lovelorn words Neville, may that dream become reality.
