Tongue Spillage

Neville

Tongue Spillage

 

Think hard upon

these words

that spill so freely

from this tongue ..

Like so very

many dandelion

clocks ..

Each blown from

here and there,

to kingdom come ..

And while I cannot

blame you

for the weather ..

I do blame you

for all those

silly lies you told ..

And likewise,

for so many other

things besides ..

Like falling

in and out of love,

so very many times ..

        Me word is 'Pffft' whatever that means! Good write N.
        No danger of me falling out of love with KP. I never fell in love with her in the first place! heehee.
        What stings? Don't answer that. I better ask Liz! lol.

          I kinda like the word Twot

          • orchidee

            Glad you said that, and not 'twat'. One meaning of that is too swoony to repeat in public.

            I only fave stuff from my heart and your poems as you well know speak volumes to a once upon a time first love of mine. Extraordinary beauty in your lines ❤️

              Liking this one, especially "dandelion clocks." In and out of love seems to be a theme today. The language is light in this, but the message leaves a taste of longing. For maybe a better result? Makes one wonder why is she so indecisive? Anyhow, much enjoyed by me. - Phil A.

                there is indeed a longing here Phil and I thank you for noticing .. as well as for the visit in general sir .. Neville

                I’ve never heard a masculine brand of annoyances to sound so delightful… Must be the English humor…

                • Neville



                  absolutely spiffing if you ask me ............ thanks for spoiling me Parisab 💛

                  so true dear Poet supreme!
                  'toxicity' is a most subtle
                  yet debilitating, ingredient of love...
                  (certain relationships seem to be vacuum sealed
                  in their own cyclical despair
                  too invested for either party to walk away
                  yet, within a week of that now
                  well practised make-up routine
                  both are playing that cagey assassin game
                  waiting to see, which lie
                  will stab deeper
                  and which betrayal, will eventually
                  deal that final blow
                  till then, they're left restlessly squirming
                  fidgeting, trying to gage the threat
                  of every kiss and embrace...)

                    I got the distinct feeling a large portion of my day is going to be taken up saying thank you brother ... Neville
