Upon the Tip of His Tongue

Neville

Upon the Tip of His Tongue

 

Her name, like her taste

was on the tip of his tongue

 

Tomorrow, who knows

maybe both shall be gone ..

                As I read your poem, I heard a voice with an alternate suggestion N. Glad you thought it optimistic.

                Many a new taste can reach one's tongue tip. Foul tastes are best replaced with something sweet.... a sweet taste should be savoured for as long as it lingers and should an aftertaste arise... look for something to remove it.... something sweet maybe?

                Nice wordplay to get the word jugglers juggling.

                  Frivolous affairs, some long remembered, some forgotten straight away. You dove deep into the essence of both. Well structured, succinct. and pointed. Short, but complex. - Phil A.

                    ... that'll do nicely sir .. who in their write mind could possibly ask for more .. cheers Phil 🙂 N

                      and how we regret
                      not realising it, at the time
                      and not insuring, we treasured
                      each lingered sip
                      and each lips, breathed-in scent
                      of all that she is, and will
                      remain - regretfully, meaningfully
                      in our lives
                      till that very last, blink
                      of our relenting: grip...
                      (simply: Brilliant my friend
                      what a poignant shorty)

                      • Neville



                        Cheers L.B 🙂
