The Night You Misplaced Your Nightclothes

 

 

The night

You misplaced

All your

Night clothes

 

You stepped

Into nothing

For free

Taking leave

Of your senses

And those early

Pretences

 

Did you

Really give

All that up

For me

?

'Taking leave of your senses and those early pretenses'. Seems you made quite an impression on someone for her to disregard her usual behaviour. Then comes the aftermath. Was it worth it? And then the question mark. Perhaps it wasn't. Who knows. You won't know till you try and find out. Your readers can only surmise what happened next. A poem full of........... mystery methinks Neville.

Cheers our Chris a much appreciated visit for sure.. my lips tho remain sealed, as you might expect from a gentleman (lol)..... N

[Chris Shaw]

Well you're hardly likely to own up to her disappointment are you? It pays to remain tight lipped in these circumstances :)

[Neville]

ouch......

[Chris Shaw]

Here let me take the unintended sting out of that :)

[Neville]

I aint never had a circumstance like that before.. must be either my age, or the water in these here parts...

[Robert Trakofler]

Well Nev, that's my first instinct, but i haven't got much sense to take leave of.... Well said poem here short sweet and full of hidden lines... speaking of which could you lend me some of them this just never happens to me? You have a voice most sincere in this write and of course i love the rhyme and rhythm cause i always love that. I'm gonna go brood in my less than exciting life now

[Neville]

exciting is both a subjective and a relative concept.. I got excited just seeing you had left your mark here... many big thanks my brother, I still got ya back covered so just let it happen... N :)

[Ken Simm.]

I love the way you seem to take a singular memory and lay it out for us to peruse and wonder at.

[Neville]

thanks a bundle Ken.. and then some... N

[Papaya]

Shame she stepped into nothing but gave up so much for it.
I like this. Resembles many relationships. There's something to be said for living in the moment I guess.

[Neville]

thank you my friend... is there really any other place.. one can remember the past, but no matter how we might try, it is gone.. and the future.. well who knows.. the only certainty, is the here and now..... N :)

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

Sometimes we function better in the nothing- bare all the bare necessities and just let be what should be- thoughts aside so action can take over where all is true to be...🌹

[Neville]

just punchin ya post code into me sat nav (lol) cheers my friend :) N

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Hmmmm- wont find ne nowhere-lol-🌹

[TL Boehm]

Oh I followed "orlando" over here, figuring the things he reads must be worth the time and I was not disappointed! this is a wonderful little poem and it made me smile a big stupid smile!

[Neville]

Wow, thank you so very much TL your comments are greatly appreciated. Oh' I am a big fan of Orlando also. All Good Things, Neville

[R J Askew]

Hope, expectation, anticipation .. then we peel off .. and everything changes. Maybe understanding the 'then what' is the most fascinating part. If we are still together and talking 10 years on we've probably got something right! You made me think again about my own life.

[Neville]

Thanks Ron, again very much appreciated. N

[Neville]

Ooops, should have replied here. No problem, I will let you know later in the week. N

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Nash she must be nuts. Least that is what I have been telling her for years Nev!
A flowing and entertaining piece!
Now get on and do the March Challenge i.e A Flight of Fancy!

[Neville]

Nah, I dont think so, I'm not into that kind of creative challenge John. I need to do it my way. Sorry

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Stubborn B*****d! At least give it a poke?

[Neville]

Maybe

[John Alexander McFadyen]

It's easy Nev. Step outside the box but reach back in and use your experiences and thoughts to fill the words across the page lol!

[Neville]

Hey, I was not trying to imply that it was beyond me, merely that I don't get that much pleasure or satisfaction from that sort of thing and me being more of a sadist than a masochist, well you know, it just dont feel right. N

[John Alexander McFadyen]

That's what I said, just relax and use the title to reach into YOUR own reservoir!
