Do I Sip Do I sip from the offered glass, this clear champagne of life Do I resist and let it pass, not giving it a chance Will its sparkle reflect the fire, as my eyes rest on yours Will its bubbles burst with desire, setting my heart aflame Can I breathe deeply of its scent, while I melt into you Can I now dream of what you meant, and tell you what I feel Do I sip this sweet drink, divine, filling heart, soul and mind Do I accept this offered wine, fulfilling all my dreams Karen Torbiak 2001© Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Never sip! Whether it be the titillating chalice of victory, or the hemlock of defeat; drink it all. Every drop! Cest la vie! |

I say, sip baby, sip!!! What is life, if we don’t live it to the fullest, and that includes taking a chance in life, a chance on love. Life is full of risks, but those risks can sometimes bring us the greatest of joys. I love the way you have written this, so questioning, unsure, yet, it is all summed up in these lines: Do I accept this offered wine, fulfilling all my dreams Any time we have a chance to fulfill our dreams, it would be a tragedy to let that moment pass. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Hey - go ahead and induldge, Startime - what's to loose - a little time (what's it there for but to use?) - a little piece of heart maybe (just look at the growth spurt it made when you induldged; the little bit of loss is not near as precious - if loss indeed happens) - some sensibility (we're all a little nuts anyway) and the gains are just tremendous (don't need to go into that do I??? Loved it - jwesley |

*giggling* too cute.....if I could only find a man to share the wine of life with I would be very happy....until that time I will weave my fantasies and carry him into my dreams. Thank you all so much for your encouragement. Do you think I might get a love for Christmas. **hugs to you all** I think you are all just wonderful. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

her lips embracing the goblet shudders with joy as she drinks to life Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |
