Life-Glass

Of a life-glass
on existance
all old tears pass
to a new trance
distilling thro
this sense, that dream
long to pursue
the perfect stream.
Thirst divines draught
courting the taste
as much as thought
is loth to waste.
Yet oft a haste
fearing shortness
makes length disgraced
coming excess.
The glass is crowned
may lips imprint
the shape around
to merriment
and quaff nectar
pacing and fare
to find savour
not snail, not hare
But artist couth
making his art
to give more tooth
to truth each part.

Enjoyable!  
At first I couldn't wrap my head around the meaning and for some reason I just couldn't get into it (It has been a long day   )So I read it agian.  But anyways these were my fav. lines :
"The glass is crowned
may lips imprint
the shape around" I am not to sure why I liked them as much as I did But they made me laugh, not because they were funny just because, anyway like I said it has been a long day. Ok i'm done rambling  I liked it!

I wear my crown of thorns
on my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
