One Sip Of You
~*Marge Tindal*~

One sip of you
quenches my thirst
Stirring the memory
that you were first

Never another
to share your page
Written in my heart
your legacy of sage

When drought of tenderness
parches my soul
I reach for a sip
in your ancient bowl

Drinking in the vision
pooling there still
Savoring the flavoring
of your memory-fill

Just a sip
to get me through
Memories of you
Memories of you

You know somethin'

I'd ask why arn't ya in bed... but then I'd know I'd be in over me head... and speaking of bed.., I hear me lover calling to me... Sheesh... I'll have to tell you how good your syllables were in the morning... Is it morning now..?



 If I could paint a portrait, of this life in which I've led, and somehow sketch a story, of the visions in my head, I'd start out with a canvas, stretched tightly in a frame, and in the bottom corner, I'd leave room to sign my name. (Michelle A. Bartley)

Marge - very beautifully expressed. Makes me recall my own first love.....
Can we ever recapture that kind of innocent trust and faith in future loves... I am not sure but God I hope so...
Your words touched me... Thank you

Oh, Marge, this is "just my cup", too, of memories of past love. The first is always the best in the memory, the sweetest, most tender, and most romantic. Loved it!

Somehow this made me sad, knowing it's down to memories...Seems like a mean trick that we can't always be with the ones we love...

first is to be savored.

Marge I must have read this one a few times before I finally decided to post something. I've got to admit it breaks my heart when I read it. It's sad for me that some of the most precious things in life come down to memories in the end. Our hearts constantly yearning to bring back those times, to relive those moments. Aching to hold on. This was beautiful. Thanks.

I'm thankful for the sips that
quench my thirst for a memory so precious
