Tuesday Tryouts: Taste; bitter, salty, sour, sweet
Dining Alone
numb - left too long, the biting after rancid,
squeeze your our eyes shut to forget the foulness
that’s what might have been left of me after
decided the young chippy was more to your liking...
stained - scratchy, dissolvable... following the etched laugh lines
the ones you helped put there when you actually worked at; ‘us’
I wish you now a dried barren ocean with hints of
where an oasis has been - just try floating in that!
vinegared brine, dill pickles, juice straight from the
lemon - no sugar for you, purse them, your lips make them frown
my disappointment and regret won’t last forever and I am so
hoping you will live to see that I have healed beyond your broken promises
someone will find the lilting laughter, mixed with
the passion fruit - delightful and fulfilling and will want more...
some say revenge is a dish best served cold...
but I will not seek it because of you, though I may be keenly jealous now.

Thanks for your kind words. I do review all comments before posting - so if your comment disappears on you, don't fret. I will post honorable comments as soon as I am able.
I do not post or return visits to "Anonymous Comments." Adding your link to an unrelated site will not help. Most everything that ends up in spam will not be posted, especially that which makes no sense to the post.
Any 'opinions' that are not introduced, explained and are unrelated to my post will not be honored. Having a 'legitimate' blog will not help - you will be marked as spam. You will have no voice here. Thank you.
