When They Would Lose Their Shadows

When They Would Lose Their Shadows

A Poem by Neville

When They Would Lose Their Shadows

 



The scent she always


wore to bed


was so much more


inviting


than just a simple


invitation


or an understated


statement


might have been ..


But rather,


it was more,


a complex extension


of her own


near nakedness


and her subsequent


intentions ..


Oh’ what games


and gifts,


she would later offer


play and ply ..


When his statue


by the fountain


in our beloved garden ..


Would then,


for a while at least ..


Be sure,


to misplace its own


shadow,


alongside that of her own ..

I had wonderful imagery come to mind of the statue in the garden. I saw Eros. Maybe this is a fantasy about Aphrodite. I saw them together. As for perfume, that’s a different story. That can linger years later, long after the face of the lover has almost been forgotten. A dreamy little write Neville.

It is and was the thing I remember most about past loves, and even some past likes... Actually, some past mehs too, the scent of them captured on sheets and pillow cases, that you think will never fade from your mind, but they do.
Even if you have some of their lotion or scent, it isn't quite them until them is added to the equation.
But then there were times when you knew that special scent meant more than usual and if you were very lucky, you got to play with their curvy in and outy bits, but only if you were really good.
Ahh, happy days... Some of them were 😊
