Just for us Lemons
when I fell for you
I fell gently ..
the trick is, to learn
from those
inevitable mistakes
we make
along the way ..
and then
to move on stronger
whilst avoiding
bitterness at any cost
since that
is just for us lemons ..

Tart is the sour lover who rejects gentle sweetness - -- hope she reads this and feels some bitter regret.
Oh' you sweet talking thing you ......................................................... N x
What clever words you chose
Mingling relationships as lemon
Yet I could find my lemonade
Well even lemons brought an advice
Lemons are truly refreshing
We make lemonades and lemon marmalade
Lingering is the taste of the lemons in my garden in my thoughts
And remembering the friendships that were as lemonades
Stronger with age
well now you come to mention it .. bless ya spills ........................ thank you my friend 🙂
I best not meet her then!
Best not, no Mr. O ..................... N 🙂
This is why they tell you to put sugar on your lemons. On the plus side, some other guy is now getting the lemon effect.
Ah' yes .. the lemon effect, aint it great when that aftertaste is someone else's problem 🙂
I like lemons
could eat one, like an apple
skin and all..
that's what a taste of life, has gifted me
now bitterness, is my ideal
of sweet...
(wise words, dear Poet
and yes the key word, is bitterness
we can't afford to make our hurdles, in life
warp our perceptions
into thinking, all is bitter and grim..
we move on, survive
with our lemonades, in hand)
lol
I like em too squire .. and thanks for those resounding words of wisdom that serve to encourage the pink flush I am currently sporting ................................................ and some of em thought I was merely jaundiced ..................... Neville
too many carrots, will do that to ya
'pink flushed and jaundiced'..
lol
Lovely write, Neville.
Danke mein guter literarischer Freund ................................. neville
Oh the wisdom in these words. WE used to say "taste and try, before you buy".
I can't understand why so many have to part with bitterness unless lies and deciet have played a major role. Logic says most pairings will not work out. But, there again logic and love is a pairing bound to fail LOL.
therein that little rectangular frame that holds those sage words of yours up there, just above these,
.. mighty powerful truths are contained but in view of any who venture this far down .... Neville
I'd say that when life hands you lemons, make lemonade. That's if you like lemonade. On the other hand, there's a lot to be said for fruit punch, you get a little bit of everything. Good write!
thank you so very bloomin much for checking in and gracing my little scribble with those kind words Bella ............................................................................ Neville 🙂
So much truth here. We are always learning from our mistakes and moving on, until we make them again, sometimes! Clever lines.
thank you so very much, both kindly & true ................. N
