Looking Back Long, Hard and Slow

Looking Back Long, Hard and Slow

 

Even now, when I think back, long and hard and look close enough

I can still, just make out, each gentle rise and the

subsequent fall of those sun-kissed undulations of hers ..

 

As she did then shift, upon eventually waking, beneath each of

our cool off-white cotton sheets, those she acquired from

a stall on a market, in Egypt all those long, hot and crazy summers ago ..

 

Indeed, as welcome today, as was then, and as seemingly new

as seen through a handful of light, casually plucked from an otherwise

ploughed desert sky, as surely and true, as the love we once shared ..

Bitter-sweet memories beautifully recalled, Neville! Gentle poetic lines, rendered with love! Some old memories are well worth being brought to mind again and again! Fine work, my friend!
