With Fondest Regards

this was meant to be a love poem ..

With Fondest Regards

 

Thank you, my friend,

for not

getting back to me ..

Before

you did, that is ..

I simply needed the

time and the space

to get my head

back in gear again ..

And the respite

it gave, came at just

the right time ..

Just in case,

you ever might think

I had missed

or forgotten you ..

Well, I want

you to know, I miss

nothing ..

And you, are not

going to become the

exception ..

But I know you felt

good when you

read my last message

by the time

that it took you to

format your answer ..

Which was,

by the way far too

long in the making

to convince me that

nothing

had changed,

for the better, except

maybe, the seasons ..

So I hope

you’ll forgive me

when I wish you the

best of good things ..

And I pray

you will always be

happy together ..

Yours sincerely,

a caring, but otherwise

helpless spectator ..

Your fondest regards dear Neville seem like a scarf. They start off with warm wool knitting with the tension nice and tight and then after a while the shape gets sort of loose and a few stitches are dropped on the way and the holes appear:) The finished product is not what you started with. The ending however, the last three lines you cast off quite neatly in your capacity as a helpless spectator. So wonderfully penned :)

Love your response. Loosen the scarf though, don't want any dead corpses on my conscience :))

Really sorry you are still ailing my friend. Thinking about you.

a great poem. epic in breath, so full of care, understanding, and patience, with just the right amount of urging of a timely response to your (narrator's) needs and aches

take care friend
