Did You Ever Dare to Ask

Did You Ever Dare to Ask

Did you ever stop

to wonder ..

Did you ever think

to guess ..

Did you ever even

notice

there was someone

in the

background playing

blues guitar

while both of us got

undressed ..

Did you ever once

consider ..

Did you ever reason

why ..

Both me and the sun

went down

on you, beneath that

pretty

summer dress and

perfect,

cloud free, cobalt sky ..

So pray

tell me, did you ever

dare to ask

those most important

questions

of them, her, or him ..

Or even

my dear friend, of us ..

This poem reminded me of a man long ago, who said to me ‘ask me anything, anything at all’. That openness had the opposite effect. I could ask nothing. I clammed up. There were many unanswered questions in my mind. Perhaps I was afraid of what the answers might be. How strange, your poem should trigger that memory Neville.

A poem here that asks many questions.

[Neville]

yes absolutely our Chris, isn't it amazing what triggers what .. unanswered question I guess can be something of a double edged sword .. in the write hands they may be a blessing, in other hands tho ' so infuriatingly frustrating .. I hope that when you eventually arrive at the answers, they are the write ones for you .. thanks muchly for swinging by my friend,

Most of us have accepted "better safe than sorry" on many things that we are afraid to lose, so that's it. We do not dare to ask, or even answer!
I enjoyed the imagination, making love under the sun......
Thank you Neville

[Neville]

thank you my friend and yes, you are write .. making love under the sun is great and certainly much better I imagine than making love above it ..

[Nima.Hope]

Only Adam and Eve could make love "above" the sun I guess lol

[Neville]

................. maybe you are write ..🐧))

From the sound of this it was probably Clapton playing Lay Down Sally. ;) This was pretty cool. And ah, those summer days that last into summer nights.

[Neville]

I always found Layla more stirring .. cheers mate :)

[Nima.Hope]

What a hit Layla was, I come from the country Layla was born in.........

[FGFRANKLIN]

I wonder why people piggyback the reviews of others.

[Nima.Hope]

If I brought any discomfort, I apologize.

[Neville]

no worries, no problem so apologies not necessary :)

[FGFRANKLIN]

No discomforts here. I'm a old curmudgeon pariah. Pay me no heed. As for apologies, bosh, we need an open chat forum in my opinion. I shall endeavor to endear myself by servitude. I'll come round a leave a review. (laughing) Yes, all, Layla was a great tune...I like the Unplugged Remake almost better than the Derek and Dominoes cut. It's a tough call. Bless you, kind people.

Alright sir.

[Neville]

Now don't that feel so much better eh ❤️

Its hurtful when a lack of interest is felt, especially in romantic relationships. We want to be known, understood and appreciated by the other and that can only be through interest generated from within. The poem is sensuous and had a hurting tone, as if the significant other was oblivious or disinterested. Perhaps faraway and not really with them in intimate moments. I appreciated and enjoyed the poem so much, dear Neville.

[Neville]

Hello & god mane, thank you ever so much for checking in and your well reasoned and encouraging review ..
ps

I can only imagine you have read much on the subject, since I can never imagine you as ever being the victim of such disinterest dear DIVYA ..

pps,

Neville :)

[DIVYA]

:) I wouldn't tolerate such disinterest dear N.
He would never hear the end of it till he changed. There's always something so new to ponder on and enjoy in your poems and I love it. You're most welcome. :))
