What a Way to Say Goodbye

What a Way to Say Goodbye

 

She came from the east 

Wearing only her silk gown and a geisha smile

…..

I asked her name

So long she said

….

Yes it seems like ages

I replied

…

Then she was gone

Wearing only her silk gown and a geisha smile

..

Gone west

.

Lovely stuff, Nev!- Contains that ingredient of mystery that I need in poetry. Earlier this week, I saw the shining thin of a crescent moon keeping the company of a bright and lucid Venus- they came from the East-heliacal and resplendent- then faded West.
I had forgotten the skies of Winter- it seemed ages since I saw them last.
Your words fit the moment like much needed gloves in the early hours of December mornings.
Very well done , Sir!!!

Unrequited love always stings. Simple, pure, and leaving that little hint of a smile under the pain

[Neville]

that just about sums me up.. purely simple, cheers Lyn a welcome visit and always appreciated.. N

[Chris Shaw]

A fleeting moment, which made me smile and one that you have captured forever in words. Lovely Neville.

Chris

[Neville]

I am made up..... I think ya know what this hard man means by that... x

[Chris Shaw]

I do know what you mean. Made up is a term from the north frequently used in my household. Good morning Neville.

Chris

[Neville]

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Neville... so many stories from the Wild West had Ladies wearing a Silk dress and a Geisha smile... more relaxing to watch Westerns rather than the News of politics and world events. Your poem is a Classic. Truly, Pat

[Neville]

Bless you Pat, I am always pleased to have you visit and yes, indeed the world is in such a pickle.. give me a western any day..... Seasons Best to you and yours my friend... N :)

[Ken Simm.]

These fascinate. Elusive, esoteric and very, very beautifully written.

[Neville]

I am well & truly honoured Ken.. many thanks kind sir.. and Seasonal Greetings and Best Wishes on their way, Neville

Cool! It is a tasteful piece, I must say.
Brevity at its best!

[Neville]

Cool is good in my book & I sure do enjoy a bit of brevity every now and again. Thank you for stopping a while and leaving an impression....N x

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

You are welcome. I must add that once I noticed that you follow an unique pattern of writing, I could not stop but read more!
