Inconsequential Wonderings

Inconsequential Wonderings

Do you remember

the last time

you danced for him ..

He told me

you were naked and

glowed ..

Can you remember

the last time

you fought with him ..

Well, he

swore he could hear

the roar

of the sea, in the shell

of your ear,

as you did then, beat up

on him ..

And do you ever recall

the last time

you dined with him ..

I note he

chewed fast while you

invariably

tend to swallow deep

and so

deliciously slow ..

Well today,

yet again, I find myself

wondering

if you still have the taste

of him on

the tip of your tongue ..

Because

for some reason, or other

I still do

occasionally question

how far you

did go with your love

for him ..

That is, before you gave

a thought to

maybe first letting me go ..

This is poetry Neville. You led the reader into real thoughts, wonder and possibilities. I liked how you set-up the ending. We do imagine everything first before jumping into the fire of change. Thank you my friend for sharing the outstanding poetry.

You are welcome Neville.

Love can be a double-edged sword... especially if three people are somehow involved! Sad to say I've been there myself, in the distant past! When the one you love can't seem to decide which man she really wants, and you become aware of this, from either her mouth or his, it can be devastating! Such things rarely end well! A poignant poetic piece, and one I can certainly relate to!

So forgiving of her where a likely infidelity is concerned, yet I detest the boldness of the he here in this love triangle. He didn't keep it to himself did he? Nothing inconsequential about these ponderings, I felt an ache in the heart of the poet. It runs deep. There is no sugar coating here.

I imagine they are more consequential than the title suggests. I sense suspicion here, maybe even bitterness. One gets the impression the addressee was more than a little gregarious.

thanks for taking a peek John .. muchly appreciated :)

what a sad, achingly sweet ode to infidelity. They say what doesn't break you, makes you stronger. This poem my friend would seem proof of that
