The lips I miss to kiss March 15, 2024

 

 The old pop song

Pops up in my head,

“the lips I miss to kiss,”

Like a bad penny

It keeps coming back,

Haunting me,

The best part of a bad thing,

The sour after something

Utterly sweet,

Makes me think of the bees,

Whose passion

Makes them make

Way too much honey

An excess I appreciate

Even if I’ve not tasted

Its flavor in years,

Recalling how sweet,

If not exactly the tang,

Lingering on the tip

Of my tongue, teasing me,

And how soft the embrace

The lips I miss,

As the pop song goes,

Missed but not forgotten,

Even if I can’t quite remember

It’s exact taste.
