Recollections

she was so hot, the sea foamed about her...

Recollections

 

I made no attempt

To tidy up

The dining room

Last night

Before retiring

Nor did I check

For messages or mail

But that did not stop me

Thinking I want

To punish you

And for a moment

To withhold the pain

You so much crave

 

Maybe it was

Just as well

I lost your number

Somewhere between

The kitchen and the shower

Although I still recall

How much

I wanted you

Until a stranger

Took you

Somewhere off the French coast

When you were far

Too good for words

Yet retained your

Appetite for poetry…

Ah. Been there. Despite all the well meaning and oft quoted advice we are given, sometimes it is better to go to bed with things undone.

Sometimes things aren't meant to be. Sometimes you just have to let go. Missed this one Neville. Hope all is ok with you.

This was a good poem I like the line "I lost your number Somewhere between The kitchen and the shower" Because there have been times I wish I had lost a phone number... Thanks for sharing Neville..
