A Travelling Man

For all those who believe in magic..

A Travelling Man

 

She is a woman

Who dreams of

Far away places

Lost causes

Exotic fragrances

Tastes to die for

Poetry and love

 

He is a man who

Prefers to travel

Light

Play with words

Take risks

And climb

High mountains

 

While all the time

His muse

Stays home and

Bakes bread

He admires birds

Of paradise

While she

Watches seagulls

Circle overhead

 

She is a woman

Who dreams

He is an old man

Who marvels

Though

Together naked

Miracles

May yet

Still happen

And together if venturing out together just make the perfect combination- opposites attract but need to share common ground and likes- lifes too short 🌹

I love this! One of my very faves from you! I love it when characters are word-painted as a little mismatched, a little "off" . . . but still the combo makes magic. You captured this with the perfect amount of intrigue & heart (((NUGS to the moon))) Fondly, Margie

"She is a woman who dreams, he is an old man who marvels". There was something I felt in these lines that made me feel we were on a journey through time. Starting off with youth, full of ambition, through many years. It's a love story in lyric format and it is very beautiful indeed. I like the references to the natural environment, birds of paradise, so exotic and climbing high mountains, fragrances, poetry and love. You've certainly managed to incorporate many things which poets hold dear. Luvverly stuff Neville. You are on a roll at the moment. Is it magical? Of course it is.

I liked the way you wrote about two souls wanting to be as one.
I do believe in miracles, so the ending was much liked.

[Neville]

You are very kind Najam, I am delighted that you visited these words and enjoyed what you found here. Thank you so much... Neville

[Najam Us Saher]

It was my pleasure reading this. I am much delighted too.

[Neville]

Bless you my friend.. N

Mmmm oh N. You paint those two world so beautifully.....
It has a sweet sad feel to it but with hope coloured to it's root there is still light....

I liked this one a lot....

Reminded me of a book I read how she would colour her hair tips the mood she was in.... the hope in this poem felt like that....colouring the overall feel of it...

[Neville]

You are very kind and your sweet message is both lovely and appreciated.... N
