The Sweetest Wine ~*Marge Tindal*~ I traipse among your ripened memories it's such a pleasured romping Upon these vats of Concord pleasures squeezed through barefoot stomping You ripened slowly through the ages into memories of mellowed bouquet I will drink of you, my love from the cellars of yesterday Intoxicating aroma swirls you within this crystal heart of glass Ah, the tasting of the harvest quenching me at last From vine - to wine you've aged with Claret taste Welcomed on these thirsty lips one drop, I would not waste Fill my glass with remembrance of the memories of you I will drink of the sweetest wine savoring the vintage of you ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marge~ Hang onto them both my friend. That wine and those memories will be priceless in time. These lines are beautiful . . . Fill my glass with remembrance of the memories of you I will drink of the sweetest wine savoring the vintage of you There are no words . . . LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

I'm getting tipsy this morning, I just read a poem about wine! I love the feeling! Marge, are your feet purple! This is lovely, by the way, and I toast you! What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. Walt Whitman |

So how does one get bottled up in your memories my friend? Don't tell me, just let me savor the fine bouquet of your beautiful verse and the wonderful vintage of your amazing spirit. Superbly written my friend and so YOU. Now how could that not be the selection of the day? A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |
