Woman of Words

Woman of Words

 

He fell in love with a

Woman of words

 

She

 

Could write them down

But dare not say them

 

She

 

Could whisper soft

But never meant a word

 

He

 

Was a man of many letters

 

She

 

Was a woman of many words

 

Despite their overriding passion

Not one of them could sing a love song

Dear Neville,

She
Could whisper soft
But never meant a word

Clearly not singing from the same page, sexually compatible, but mentally divorced springs to mind

Could it ever work, yes on a superficial level, NEVER on the deepest level. One loves deeply, the other doesn't. Mind you there's probably many who can amble along like that. You pick your own poison, I did that once.

You could write a book about these lines you know. There's a lot of meat not showing on the bones of this poem. It's also a sad read.

[Chris Shaw]

I've come back for a second read to get my Neville fix while you are away. This is a fabulous poem. It says so much. On par with Bride of the Hedgerows which is utterly lovely.

I had just pulled up the "MY REVIEW" box, glanced down and read Christine's and she said it all. Therefore, see below.

[Neville]

thank you on behalf of us both then..

She fell in love with my worfs, but ran away from my face. So I sang her a love song and she stabbed her eardrums with kebab skewers. Some women just want it all, looks and personality. I just cant live at that speed :)
But yes, I have been guilty of falling in love with their words too. Its a serious design flaw in writers dna. So easy to do, so hard to forget.
She ran off with anothere guy on here. Woah, wait a minute! :)

[Neville]

c'mon.. spit it out.. spill the beans why dont'cha.. cheers mate..

[Lorry]

Ha. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... :)

[Neville]

Hhhmmm for fear of singing off note? Or reading the lines/notes incorrectly-sadly many never sing the true song of love for fear prevents the truth- touching words , full of meaning and emotion🌹

[Neville]

Lol...that is the way of it sometimes!!! However I believe you could write a love song my friend, as a matter of fact, this one of many you have offered up. Great stuff!!!

[Neville]

Bless ya C... that means such a lot to me....

[Najam Us Saher]

'Woman of words' and 'man of letters' are very creative phrase. The last line was sad and deep. I loved this poem it had so much depth in it.

[Neville]

many thank you's indeed.. Neville :)

[Najam Us Saher]

It was my pleasure reading this :)

[Neville]

cheers, that means a lot to me..

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Happy New Year Neville! Your poem is so beautifully sad. The title attracted me immediately and the words captured my heart. Yes, it does happen this way sometimes and I’m sorry the woman didn’t mean her words. Great write!

[Neville]

They are but words, but thank you dear Annette.. you are most kind and a Happy New Year to you & yours..... Neville

[Samuel Dickens]

Apples and oranges. Both are delicious, but they won't make a pie together. Still, some will try to find a workable recipe.

[Neville]

absolutely.. thank you kindly Samuel.. always appreciated... and a Happy New Year to you sir..
