Violet Violet, your face so long ago lost in a bottle of gin Fancy furs of ermine cling to your emaciated form Hearken to days of yore ere beauty fled in dire defeat Violet, your once proud chin still held high. Violet, the shutters of your eyes painted in silhouette Belie the glorious life you live over in memories well lit The glory and fame turned to despondency and shame Violet, and yet, you cannot recall the change. Violet, people staring, speaking whispers of your Borrowing and returning; trying, never buying Violating village rules of proper behavior and decorum Violet, your soul so long ago lost in a bottle of gin. |

sadly, many shrinking violets do get lost in the wrong spirit world |

A very touching and sorrowful portrait. My former spouse was an alcoholic. He passed last year due to complications of his disease at the age of 47. When he wasn't drinking, he was the most caring person...and when he was drinking (which was most of the time)well... Though we parted ways many years ago, in his last months of life, we communicated by phone many times. I keep in my memory those moments when he wasn't drinking... Thanks for bringing his memory to mind this Thanksgiving morning. Patricia |
