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.

You do romance so well Neville. These lines are joyous and delightful to read. Long may you have your safe place. Wonderful poetry.

[John the Baptist]

Very clearly expressed and with excellent imagery, especially in verse 2. Very romantic but at the same time with a hint of mystery. Indeed, fine words.

[Neville]

Thank you sir for the welcome, much appreciated visit and kind accompanying words.
