reflections of reflections of reflections

lonely

is a cup of tea

without leaves

an imminent autumn

without love

to sip from another's cup

of smiles

lonely

is a cup of me

without you

an imminent autumn

without a too long, Oolong moment

to share a kiss from another's lips

to taste of those departed smiles.

This is one of the most alluringly playful romantic writes I've ever seen from you! I love it! The tangle of autumn, tea, & longing is purely delicious! "Imminent autumn" wins the best phrase award for the month! You paint a tantalizing scene (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I found this to be an enchanting read. Breathtakingly beautiful, I'd say. Somehow, the idea of lonely becomes 'less lonely' after reading this piece of yours. ..

Ah what a warm, piny aroma of oolong you have left us with. Intimate, personal and cosy- longing for that one person who understands you and with whom spending time is truly worth a hundred cups of good tea.

I prefer a green tea,
but each has their own taste.
Maybe one which leaves you longing for more.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

maybe.....thank you, Jon.

Pleasures in abundance sent upon a smiling kiss🌹

Hands down brilliant j. Eloquent and sweet wordplay in playful, poignant verses. Rhythmic, delightful phrases-“too long, Oolong moment”- cleverly penned. Great metaphor, personification, repetition. Enjoyable, wistful reverie that is perfection to a “tea”. Superb write.

Thinking of a Supremes song here...Reflections of the way it used to be.... love the way "too long oolong" rolls off the tongue. Nice to have the time to read you again. Lydi**

[jacob erin-cilberto]
