Playing With Words
She said,
do you see what
I mean ..
He said no, but
I hear what
you say, and tho’
I’m aware,
that you search
for yourself
each day in my
poetry ..
Somehow, you
still tend
to get lost in my
ludicrous
words en-route ..
But that’s
fine by me babe
I regard it
as a journey and
quite like
the course you
take anyway ..
Oh’ plus the fact
you feel able
to pause to linger
and play,
with each of my
metaphors ..
But then my love,
I love how
you smile look
away and pretend
it’s all just
some silly old game ..

Nice One Neville
A Nice Metaphor
Is A Sweet Journey
In Itself
Thanks again brother R .. I feel well and truly spoilt today .. Neville
My sentiments exactly… either too serious or held in so little regard, hardly ever just right on the words that I spout… it’s much like the art and skill of reading a room… but graced by poetry’s loom. 🙏🏻🕊
It’s good to know your not alone innit .. cheers brother .. Neville
For sure N 🙏🏻🕊
How titillating, word play, like foreplay excites with expectations, seductively luring one in with mental masturbation. Oops too much too fast . A fun but also deep probe at how much should we read into things. Find myself guilty of this all the time I think I may be doing it now.
I like your take on these words of mine thank you my friend .. Neville 😎👍
A very entertaining write exploring do we look to much into what people have said or do we not value them when we should, or we just take them at face value and get on with our life, enjoyed the read
You got it .. thanks PL .. you have a good eye and a kind heart 😎👍
You are very welcome
Good write N. Ohh, let's wax metaphorical!
Yes please do ..
Can ya beat a bit of meta-wotsit?
'snot the destination, 's the journey wot counts....
Is that taken from the sleeve of some incredible geezers anthology by any chance 😎👍
Adorable in its playfulness. Intimate, and rhythmic ...blurs love, language, and interpretations beautifully.
I am so glad you called AB feel free to call back anytime .. kind regards Neville
A word salad of love. Excellent work, my friend.
I’ll take it as it comes bro .. no dressing necessary… cheers Neville 👍
Excellent write Nevilie
Cheers 😎👍
You're welcome
Love wrapped in poetry. Metaphors that are a metaphor. He and she involved in the "silly old game." Maybe it's the way she "looks,, walks, or "plays" That gets the "Game" started, and it ends at the end of your last line. Oh my, what a joy. Loved it, - Phil A.
You have a habit of making my day Phil .. thank you so much my friend 😎👍
She will find her way in your words as we all do Neville.
Andy
Thanks a bullion goldfinch60 😎
