Love beckons me on
a tower of strength
Seductive says
carry me upstairs
Boring says
I'll rather not
Frivolous says
turn the light out
I'm waiting in bed
Lifesaver says
I can't do that
will loose my job
Not Working Out says
thinning fast relationship
floundering passionless rocks
Sailing Into The Sunset says
ex-lover still holds a
bright shinning blazing light
but not for me
instead ships at sea
searching just like me.
Thanks Stephen
Thanks Ruth I too enjoy 60's music I do like the idea of putting a song into the poem.
Also you made a fantastic job of making the poetry work so well on the day.
Thanks John just had to leave it with someone getting shipwrecked.
Thanks Leon Ace of hearts with one to break.
Love this, Nigel.
Love how you've given each emotional state it's own little 'sub-personality' here, such a clever,funny yet deeply profound poem👏
Being a secret fan of 60's music I have now got 'My ship's coming in' The Walker Brothers playing in my mind😁
I also just stopped by to say Thanks for your lovely comment Cheers for listening back😊👍
So much of human life is in this poem, Nigel. Fantastic, if painful!
