Freedom

Freedom

After sharing the last

French cigarette

My lady turned her face away

And said

 

We are free as two wild flowers

Tomorrow

We will still be free

Free enough to forget each others name

I know the feeling only too well, I was crazy too way back in 76 but blew it. I only found out she had passed away a week before my daughter was born in 1992, I have written about her often over the years like I suppose we all do. Thank you for the very kind sentiments my friend, much and always appreciated, N

oh my brother...i am so sorry for that pain ...when "she" left my one big request was to stay in touch and have someone let me know if ever anything may happen to her ... so grateful for our continued friendship ... she is much younger than i and most likely will be me first but she is also one not opposed to deciding herself the when and where ... that... really scares me :( but as she is nearing 50 her thoughts have changed a bit ... at least from our latest talks .. you be well my friend... what a connection to have between her death and your daughters birth ... i hope it is comfort that that brings .. peace and love sir

Thank you my very good friend for such kind words, insight and self disclosure. You are a credit to our species. Maybe one day I will private message you with some additional stuff I am unable to find an explanation for......Neville

This was my refrain, back in the day when I had many admirers & suitors. If I hurt someone, I just told him: "I warned you!" But now I'm old & very much alone, sometimes wondering if I was wrong in being so independent. I think not, tho. Freedom is the air I breathe (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Neville]

I think we all have doubts from time to time, thanks for taking time to consider these words Margie & hey, who knows what tomorrow might bring......Neville

Love this! To the point and so beautifully painted a picture of freedom! No worries or care ... just the moment!

[Neville]

Why thank you BBP, much appreciated...Neville

Philosophical attitude
with a smidgen of cynicism
well incorporated into a poem.
Need I say that it is Neville's ?
The writing speaks it for itself!

[Neville]

Thank you my dear Mrudula, I am delighted you checked this old one out......N

[Mrudula Rani]

Dear Neville, reading your writings is entirely my pleasure.

My immediate reaction was: OUCH! You lured with seven stunning lines then..

A somewhat beautiful, clever, tragic post.. and now - strangely memorable!

(ps. there's something about French cigarettes!) ,

[Neville]

Hey, what a smashing accolade, I am truly honoured.
ps. aint that a fact. I still fancy one every now and then even after 15 years......Neville

[Samuel Dickens]

Yep. Been there, done that. This one made me smile.

[Neville]

Then I have succeeded. Many thanks indeed my friend.......Neville
