A Heart-Throb And The Go-Between Poem by nimal dunuhinga
A Heart-Throb And The Go-Between
The old man dropped his precious letter
into the isolated letter box
where it stands in the gravel road.
The notorious postman who tampers letters
comes very seldom to collect.
He found only one letter in the box
but no addressee and stamps too.
He opened the letter and read loudly.
' I am an old godforsaken man
but still not senile; good for nothing my dear.
This could be a giveaway for you.
If you read this I am sure you may excuse me.
Do you know about spiritual love?
Sometimes this letter will annoy you my sweetheart!
Take it easy honey as I am a dreamer.
I am lonely and frustrated
and I need someone with a goodwill
who comes and stay with me forever.
I'll offer you my old hammock
and I know thousands of stories
which I can read for you on full moon days
until you sleep quietly my darling.
dedication to the letter box at ' home for the elders'
A beautiful write that sweeps the reader of their feet Thankyou for sharing your art Love duncan X
Your word portrait of a sunset traveler is very touching..Time is always moving West and, like it or not, we must move with it. It is to be hoped that warmth can still travel safely without stamps.Lovely poem, Nimal. Sandra
