Singular I’s

These words are a little bit for jacob .. with much fondness and respect

Singular I’s

 

The more

I think

 

I think

About us

 

Then the 

More I realise

 

There is

No us, is there

 

Today we

Are no more

Than a pair of

Singular I’s

 

Oh’ and a few

Loosely scattered

Obsolete were’s

For good measure

 

That’s all

We are now

Summed up

On a lonely page  

Reviews

[Lorry]

When they used to be everything and become a whisper of an echo of a ghost, makes everything else feel as hollow as the promises now discarded.
Girls eh? Can't live with em, and it's really quite frowned on to kill them these days too. Political correctness gone mad.
Yet when this happens to me, and it does, often, why is my first call always to go get sweaty with another of these freakishly alluring creatures? I mean, next they'll be saying it's all our fault and that we never listen to whatever it is they're saying that we're not listening to.
I feel your pain my friend. And never said b*****s once.
Ps... Damn!

[Neville]

They used to call me Window.. coz they said they could see right through me... thanks for the smashing review mate, tis much appreciated and then some.... Neville

[Robert Trakofler]

[Neville]

I am so appreciative, I could fold myself in two and slip into a little envelope for thee as a little canape..... :)

[Ardra]

Then the
More I realise

There is
No us, is there

Mmmm quiet touching poem...
Strikes a chord close to heart... :)

[Neville]

Oops sorry about that my friend... but thank you for stopping by regardless.. N

[Dr. YumnaKay]

What we plan and what comes to be. Sometimes there are just two I's trying to align themselves together but merely stretching to the limit before giving up...
Nice one, Nev.

[Neville]

Thank you my friend... and what a lovely avatar you have these days..... N

[Dr. YumnaKay]

:D haha thank you too, I prefer Olaf over my own face though so I'll probably switch back ;P
And you're welcome :))

[Fay Slimm]

Turning that "We" into an "I" is one of the loneliest of changes as this sad lament makes very clear - - I could feel the ache Nev. - your imaginative pen conjours such diverse results to the act of parting.

[Neville]

thank you Fay.. it is always a pleasure to have you call on me.... Neville

[Mrudula Rani]

Whoever said It is never a good idea to ponder on past is't very smart! over and done times are gold mine for heartwarming, perplexing poems.

[Neville]

thank you M... N

[Mrudula Rani]

You are most welcome.

[Ted Kniffen]

Nothing more than blue eyes, Neville.
or as Willie sang...it was Willie weren't it...'blue eyes crying in the rain'

be appropriate if my eyes weren't hazel.

[Chris Shaw]

I think this is a very relatable poem for anyone who is going through a relationship crisis. All those we's that have turned into i's as the relationship disintegrates. A short poem, but there is much sadness in the lines, and much to read between the lines as well. Nicely expressed Neville.

Chris

p.s Lorry's spin made me laugh.

[Neville]

thank you Chris.. I appreciate your visit... they are only words mind... and an eye for certain things... aint Lorry a card eh.. yes, he did me too... Neville

[Chris Shaw]

Pleased he's back to make us laugh. He inspired my latest poem with his wacky humour.

[Neville]

.................... Me too.

[Karmee]

So full of wonderful emotions, nicely expressed

[Neville]

I am most grateful to you korin.. many thanks indeed.... Neville
