No Comparisson

Futile love

NO COMPARISSON

Your eyes resemble

The dark polished wood

Of damson trees

Whilst your hair is

Every shade of evening

I have ever seen

You make me laugh and turn me on

Even in blossom, the blushing magnolia

Hides from your complexion

In shame

Crimson cherries

Bow their heads

Against your lips

It would be

A crime to kiss them

Therefore it would seem I must try

To love or like you less

Have you ever met a naïve teenager?

I liked this poem Neville.
"It would be
A crime to kiss them
Therefore it would seem I must try
To love or like you less"
The above lines are so cool. The questions we must seek. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

ahahahaha oh yes i have Nev....in the mirror ...every day ...ahahaha even now ;) now I must read your poem.
had to look up Damson Tree .. oh my goodness ... what a creative, unique personification sir! fantastic use of the flowers and fruits .. i want to kiss her too ... i hate the surprise in your closing sir ... no no no ... he needs to pursue her and woo her .. at least try says i!? he has instead placed her on that proverbial pedestal without even knowing if she thinks she's all that or not ... tsk tsk .. such naivety indeed :))))))))))))))) but that closing is one of a mature man my friend ... he won't be the one to defile such a woman in an unworthy attempt ... i suppose he is a pretty good guy after all .. someone i would trust not to be chasing me daughters :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Many times we see the love of our life in poetic vision. All beauty and encompassing

[Neville]

... You are of course quite write .. and I for one thank you for it .. write on my literary friend ..

[emmajoy]

Memories can be so beautiful... and few write about them more subtly than you, Neville. Words can and do flow poetically yet 'naturally' when from a sound heart: your last two lines surely prove my point.

[Lorry]

That last line was no naive teenager Sir, that is the voice of someone who just got me to go "Oh! Wish I'd thunk of that at the time(s) 😊

[Neville]

even the posting of these words here is a long time ago now Loz, so you can use em if ya wanna .. they were originally writ long before the golly was removed from the jar and became such an unnecessarily despised anathema ... cheers mate :)

[Fay Slimm]

a good question to end this tribute to teenage love - or maybe obsession - -- such tender comparisons errupt from a young poetic mind - - loved it to bits.................x

[Neville]

You got it in one Fay .. many thanks indeed for checking this oldie out .. almost made me feel young again too, so a did .............. x

A very romantic verse with just the prescribed amount of sap.

[Neville]

Yup that's me all over, just an old romantic at heart. Regards to your pen and to your internal organs, my friend. N
