Quaffed

Neville

Quaffed

 

I am a guilty secret

Your poison slowly sipped

The elusive aftertaste you crave

Residing on your lips

      Worded so clearly those needs for guilty quaffing your super three liner will most surely draw sighs 'cus toxic or not lips leave secret aftertastes after bouts of slow sipping - - - wow - now I need shower......x

          She was my elixir, my sensation's zenith, my addiction, my sacrifice, my downfall, my lesson. She was everything upon my lips.

          In your verses are pictures painted in life, evoking from me a flow of emotion ... to try and capture a fragment of a yesterday.

          • Neville



            .......... What a delightful thing to say DA .......... You just made my evening my friend .... Cheers

                a toast!🍻
                to those
                who gift us those scars
                bone deep, to help
                make that merciful alcohol
                taste bittersweet...
                a wonderful play on blatant euphuism's virtues my friend

                • Neville



                  ....................................................... thanks LB .. you just can't beat a decent euphuism can ya now ..
