So this is love?
The agonizing wreak tearing reason
From mind and leaving heart to beat
When she speaks and to stop
Should she not.


It would seem foolish of me
To embrace a loss of logic
Knowing I am of weak heart
That might not recover from such
And then be doomed to lie abed
Unable to move forward or back
An invalid only cared for
Because of what was


What then do I want with love?
For I am better served in chilled glass.
Dry perhaps, but still an easy draught
To drain days and nights without
Such burn as comes from
Drinking straight of her eyes
Aged well in oak that has seen fire
But survived

Still…
Oh to be still inside
And have this bleed of thought
Distilled into
Spirit

Nice -- very nice. You captured the feeling and the moment exactly, and went beyond it.

(big hugggssssss) Oh Ron, yes, one drink to remember and another to forget, and make sure you stir with a spoon of sugar! (sigh) This is touching, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Susan, thank you maam... glad you like.. there are many here that write well and many write much better than I, so it noce to hear someone say they like what you offer.

Sunshine.. thank you my friend....as to whether this is what love is or not ( chuckling) I am not sure I'm qualified to answer or write about it.


Ed... too kind of you to say such. Nothing to learn from me I fear... thanks for the read..and the nice words

Noah... thanks kind sir..always appreciate you dropping by.

Martie... goes to show what a good imagination can do. ( laughing) Hugs to you my friend.

Words worthy of repeating!

~ May you be still inside and have all bleed of thought distilled into Spirit!

May your spirits soar each morning with the rising of the sun.

To be the one you need...

Yes....I'd have to say this sounds like love to me, written as only you can. I agree with Martie, this is indeed one of your best. The depth incredible, heart touching, tear producing, real!

Enjoyed Pat

Oooh, you're inspiring an idea for a poem...

She raised the chilled glass high,
an eye within the sun.
The light within its iris
infused a pale red flame.
The cold case of the glass,
a candle without wick.
She drank away the dregs.
It left wax on her lips.

I may be odd - (hush) - But this reminded me of this orchard/winery where I used to live that bottled Grappa with pears in the bottles.  It was so neat to see how they did that, all these wine bottles hanging on trees with a baby pear growing in each one.

I'm sure so NOT what you were going for with this, but it created a lovely memory of home that I needed today.

"Vintner" would it be?
(I don't think you mean a Swedish Winter) :-)
Interesting read nevertheless.
