The Map

The Map

There was once

a time golden,

when it all came

together

and I would spell

your name

backwards quite

simply ..

Because it made

It all seem

magic or special ..

And anyhow,

it was always so

very much

easier to find my

way home

when I wrote it

that way ..

Yes, there was

once a time golden,

when it all came

together ..

When we lived on

small talk,

free love and so

very much

laughter we often

ached all day ..

Back when we both

thought we

might last forever ..

But of course,

we never did, did we ..

This is beautifully written!
“I would spell your name backwards quite simply..
Because it made it all seem magic or special”
Those lines are so beautiful to me. It’s such a quirky thing to do but describes the feeling of love well.
Ah, in the end it didn’t last. The tragedy of life.
It was a lovely morning read for me!

It doesn't last forever but the pain still hurts. Oh for the apparent simplicity. Never again. Wonderful empathic poetry of the first water here Neville.

Many thanks for sharing such insight and of course for visiting my little scribble here Ken .. Always appreciated .. Neville

Nothing lasts forever. Time changes everything, not necessarily for the worse, just different. Maybe when we are young our expectations are super charged. Breakups, whenever they occur are painful that is for sure. Maybe this poem is reflecting on a special past love, looking back and remembering the happy times before the parting of the togetherness. Relatable words Neville for many and penned perfectly.
