Forget the Name Remember the Taste

Neville

Forget the Name Remember the Taste

 

There was something about her

that reminded him

so much, of rice wine and sushi ..

 

But also tequila and guacamole

Yet on reflection

there was, a hint of lychee too ..

 

Although best of all, she carried

the unforgettable scent

of bergamot and poor man’s pachouli ..

    Bergamot - Earl Grey Tea. Bleeuurggh!
    Taste like drinking perfume. Not that I've ever drank perfume! lol.
    Some perfumes only make Fido and I sneeze or come out in a rash. Where's the rash? Swoon, I can't say! lol.

      Don't they say one mans meat is another mans poison .. I tried BBQ guineapig in Colombia a few times & found it tasted like chicken 🐀🦨🐧🦨🦨🦨🦨

        Nice to give me a warning, Nev.... You will get no competitioon for her favours from me...One man's olfactory delight is this man's allergic reaction.... 😇!!!

          Whilst Dylan said always carry a spare lightbulb .. I think an epipen is much more sensible these days 😎💉👍

            Who is this Dylan bloke you keep on mentioning - Qualified electrician, is he?
            It would take too long to elaborate on the differences I've had with the medical profession over the years, but a consultation invaribly results in a prescription, and when I've reached my vintage, I have a tendency to push back a teensy bit sometimes....😇!!!

            Forget thy name, and remember the taste
            of sweet rose petals caressing thine lips
            The tongue may swallow in mortal haste
            but a god, shall savor the flavor and not waste.... 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

            • Neville


              I shall smile my way through the rest of today .. thank you Dove 💙

              Oh i love the scent of bergamot!! Something so sexy about this write...the most powerful is the sense of smell, isn't it? But to remember one's taste is divine......love this!!

              • Neville

                There's something special about a meal with a lover and the flavour stays forever as does the scent of intimate perfume - -- writ to rouse mem'ries is this bit of reflection - -- love it propitiously - - - and more............. x

                • Neville



                  I am highly delighted that you have smiled so favourably upon these words Fay .. x
