No Hint of an End

everyone needs a safe place

No Hint of An End

These words have no 

Beginning but they 

Bounce and echo loud

Around the labyrinths 

Of the same shell

They were first

Imprisoned in long ago

Fine words 

They are too...

And when

Whispered soft

Might be mistaken

For the sea and wind

Mouthing and teasing

Her wild golden

Finger combed hair

Brushed back and yes

Still damp and salty...

My lady once lived

For such poetry

Yet she would lay there

Hardly breathing

Just in case the spell

Got broken

Then on waking fully

She would look up and see

Through a perfect

Ken Simm sky...

Twas then he felt her kiss

South of the nape

His neck did cry 

And she did crave

Gentle as the downward 

Thrust of lichen green

Lacewings wings

Passing them by

There in the cove of their

Safe and secret harbour...

Yes indeed for

That is where words 

Such as these

Go round and round

With not a single 

Hint of beginning

No sure sign of a middle

And no

No certain trace of an end even....

You can tell Lydi that I do love it. Except for that one line which is to much. Honestly. I echo those feelings as well. We all do need a safe place. Just not under one of my skies. Actually I am honoured beyond belief. You rotter. I honestly didn't know about this.

[Neville]

and why should ya you old sausage .. I am nevertheless thrilled that you eventually stumbled upon these words of mine and you are not offended by them .. which is just as well, at least for me I guess, since you have long since been immortalised in the pages of my second published anthology 'Somewhere Behind These Eyes' pages 9 or 10 ... All Good Things, Neville :)

[Ken Simm.]

Oh bugger.

[lightsong]

"Ken Simm sky..." WOW Mr. MR. Neville... I am jealous of this and of "My Lady".... the whole poem is about "POETRY REALM" I so relate to this, the no hint of the beginning, or of the end... many many times my words are like this... they only float free, not sure what is the start of the poem or the end of it?! this so brilliant in my eyes, so beautiful and breathtaking... that verse of "My Lady..." well, we Poetesses should sigh there without a doubt :>

[Neville]

reviews just don't get any better than this my dear G Girl ........ I am blessed, honoured and proud ..

[lightsong]

Truly deserved :>. lol I find my 2 years old review a bit odd, well I am an ODD Lady😂

[Neville]

but lovely with it ........................... 😂))

[lightsong]

You are truly kind to AN ODD LADY ........😂

A lover's tangled hair; wet from the sea, fine white sand on brown skin, soft kisses in the summer sun. No ending to such things sounds rather sweet and filled with romance. Nicely done. I enjoyed the read.

[Neville]

in that case, not only am I well n truly delighted, but consider mission accomplished .. thank you Fabian .... Neville

[barleygirl]

I have been strongly inspired by Ken Simm's writing many times, so I can feel the connection between the more-effusive-than-usual aspects here and the way Ken writes. Truthfully, I go for more effusiveness from you . . . sometimes it feels like you're holding back or doling it out sparingly. I love it when you take a big deep dive, like you've done in this poem. Kinda orgasmic, to my way of thinking, the way you build up to a more & more personal seduction (((FROGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Neville]

You just made this old geezers evening Margie.. ta and more muchly than you might ever imagine.. FROGS back at you.. Neville :)

[Robert Trakofler]

It is not a difficult task to love you Nev not in the least my friend! A perfect Simm sky I caught glimpse once or twice:) some very endearing lines in here Nev!

[Neville]

wot a bloomin lovely thing to say... cheers n all that jazz Robert... my day is made and its only porridge time.... N:)

[Trouble]

Very well written, and even if someone doesn't say it, they do want love. Nicely done.

[Neville]

Thank you Allie... :)

[lightsong]

Romance at its highest, blending and breathing with and in Poetry, exactly as two lovers blending and breathing as one, not exactly knowing how it started nor where it's the end, only enjoying the moment they have now, the way You began, and how You ended it with the last verse, the "smart" Poet is whom You are ;)

[Neville]

what a very kind thing to say my friend.. thank you for your ongoing support and encouragement... N :)

[Lydia Shutter]

Ken Simm.....He will love this one for sure. We all need a safe place...a person we trust with our heart and soul. One we can read our poetry to and know it will not be judged harshly, but for the emotions between the lines. When the beginning, middle, and end all lead to the same place, it is a good one. Lydi**

[Neville]

Thank you kindly and ever so muchly Lydi**
are you sure we are separated by an ocean coz if not.. I'll pop over and give ya a big hug....

[Lydia Shutter]

Awwww, you are a sweetie. Thanks, Neville.

[Neville]

Many thanks Cherrie....

Neville
