Clearly a Vague Recollection
The way she wore that plain white
cotton sheet
was really kind of cool, and neat ..
A real turn on too
don’t you think, fresh from the bed
like that, and jeez ..
With all those ribbons in her hair
and an opal in
each lobe, of perfect shell like ears ..
She trailed
that makeshift shawl behind her
all but naked ..
And quite unashamed, with nothing
more to lose or fear,
or even hide, oh’ yes indeed, it was
then she turned
and said, come to me darling
smelling of time itself
old clocks and magnificent cathedrals ..
Yes come to me,
for it is time to listen, watch and learn ..
Since this, dear heart
is how it works when broken, and you
my lord shall surely
sleep safe, sound and well tonight ..

Neville, this truly is a glorious read. You really are a master of your craft and I am always in awe of your writes. Thoroughly enjoyed this write x
You are far too generous Marion, but thank you for indulging me and my pen :) x
No ..I'm.not Neville...your work is a joy to read and in a class of its own x
NEVILLE!!....I have to agree with MARION sir!!.....It is in the way you keep the momentum, intent, cleverness, charm, substance, and continuity all together....as though you were reading a short story....,while all-the-while you are keeping a rhyme scheme on target.....it is so effortless that one can only sit back in awe of the creative mind that can write this with the kind of ease that a great drummer might keep time on his drum kit!!.....PINNED!!....love your style brother!!......LOVE & ROCKETS!!....T xo : )
You are far too kind as well Tony T .. many thanks though and truly :)
