He smiles
as I write
these
words
A twist of lemon,
some bitter tonic—
flowing through
thirsty veins
*
I smile
as he draws
a pair
of eyes
The ones
that brighten
the darkest days
of our nocturne souls
*
Chilly air
swirls into
our empty
space
While I get rid
of commas,
full stops—
irreverent
aftertastes
*
It all ends
with a styled,
stained letter
and a twist of lemon—
As it gently
infuses
our vodka
and tonic,
—And this fine,
short,
tale
Brilliant 🖤
Thank you Charmer!!! 😊💛
Most welcome my friend 😁🖤
Oooooo, so good 😍
Thank you Hun!! ❤️
It sounds like a choice drink for this interlude 🙂 Now I want one myself. Love your presentation!
Thanks so much, Sunra!!!! And sorry for taking so long to reply…lately I haven’t been as active (posting, reading all the blogs I love) as I would have liked..
Loving your feedback 😊
Did you try that drink yet? 😄
You’re most welcome, vintageblack! (Anna? I couldn’t quite remember!) I’ve had it before, yes, lol, but I’m not really a vodka gal when it comes down to it. I prefer gin! Ha ha! With a twist of lemon and lime. Refreshing! 🙂
Yes, it’s Anna, haha!!! great memory 🙂 yeah..I guess it’s a slightly rebellious take on the classic G&T – Which i still like every now and then (even though I’m no gin gal). And yes, for me too, citrus twist forever – would feel boring otherwise. Have a wonderfully evening, Sunra! 😊
Ha ha! My memory’s like a sieve lately. I keep losing pens and forgetting I’ve stuck them in my hair. Citrus twist sounds good! I just can’t handle vodka is all, hence gin! Enjoy your drink and have a great evening too (clink, clink!) 🙂
it’s two of us then – with the fickle memory 😅 Happy Sunday to you too! 💛🍸

Wow, simply in love with this ‘fine, short tale’ which is very fine indeed! 🥂
Wow, this is such an amazing comment, Ana!! I really thank you so much ❤️. I apologize for taking so long in getting back to you on this, it got originally filtered out as spam 🙁 plus I haven’t been too active on WP this year
