The Preciseness of Your Approximations

The Preciseness of Your Approximations

 

I thought you should know

I have always been

amazed at the preciseness

   of your approximations ..

I even once thought you were

   a tiny bit special maybe ..

 

But since you seem to wear

your heart on your sleeve,

I shall leave these words

here for you to stumble upon

   sometime later perhaps ..

 

And where for now, they may

at least rest easy and neat

and for always set firm, upon this

magnificently understated

    and otherwise seriously empty page ..

    Love this poem Neville life is based on approximations, educated guesses, hunches you may say. A basketball shot, a cricket swing of the bat, the stock market, a word in a poem, a ventured kiss and sometimes it is a while before we see the results. A wistful and wonderful write that takes a time to soak in. a fave my friend

    Good write N.

  • Friendship

    Nicely written, you had me thinking about this poem! Your poem explores the complexity of human emotions and relationships, particularly the tension between admiration and distance. It reflects the nuances of affection for someone perceived as both special and emotionally reserved.
