The Glass

by Michael

Dressed
in a dingy hood
so face could not be seen,
he handed me

a glass of evening light.

It was dark
and
filled with fiery stars.

He said drink your fill
and life
will know no pain.

I took the glass
then looked,
he was no more.

Cascading yellow roses
where he had stood.
I took a sip,
then
swallowed what was left.

wonderful employ of imagery.
this is a very cool poem,
the mystic essence of it is perfect.

"fiery stars"...
very cool.

It's such a clever innocence with which you show myself to me
As if you know how it feels to never be who you wanted to be

Janet Marie, Martie, LW & Beth,

Thank you all for liking this one. It's a bit odd and I'm really not sure where it came from. It just popped into my head. :-)

Michael~
An illusionary piece that lends itself to mystery of thought.

Don't you just love it when one sneaks up on you like that ?
Wonderful imagery.

Marge & Karilea,

Thanks. I'm happy you liked this one. A bit odd, huh? I guess it's a good thing that I don't share every poem that pops into my head.

Take care, sweet ladies.
