One Sip Of You ~*Marge Tindal*~ One sip of you quenches my thirst Stirring the memory that you were first Never another to share your page Written in my heart your legacy of sage When drought of tenderness parches my soul I reach for a sip in your ancient bowl Drinking in the vision pooling there still Savoring the flavoring of your memory-fill Just a sip to get me through Memories of you Memories of you ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

You know somethin' I'd ask why arn't ya in bed... but then I'd know I'd be in over me head... and speaking of bed.., I hear me lover calling to me... Sheesh... I'll have to tell you how good your syllables were in the morning... Is it morning now..? If I could paint a portrait, of this life in which I've led, and somehow sketch a story, of the visions in my head, I'd start out with a canvas, stretched tightly in a frame, and in the bottom corner, I'd leave room to sign my name. (Michelle A. Bartley) |

Marge - very beautifully expressed. Makes me recall my own first love..... Can we ever recapture that kind of innocent trust and faith in future loves... I am not sure but God I hope so... Your words touched me... Thank you |

Oh, Marge, this is "just my cup", too, of memories of past love. The first is always the best in the memory, the sweetest, most tender, and most romantic. Loved it! Syntax Each instant comes with a price ~ J. Wright |

Somehow this made me sad, knowing it's down to memories...Seems like a mean trick that we can't always be with the ones we love... (wiping a tear) Corinne |

NO sweeter drink have I tasted that the words of your poetry. Fill my cup again. a wonderful poem Marge. beautiful. ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. "Art is a lie which makes us realise the truth." Pablo Picasso "You do not destroy an idea by killing people; you replace it with a better one". Edward Keating ----- |

Marge, You captured the essence of my first love. Something I am afraid may never be repeated. Forever tasting wondering if it will be like the first sip. Loved the poem, and I am going to look for more of yours. |

Marge I must have read this one a few times before I finally decided to post something. I've got to admit it breaks my heart when I read it. It's sad for me that some of the most precious things in life come down to memories in the end. Our hearts constantly yearning to bring back those times, to relive those moments. Aching to hold on. This was beautiful. Thanks. kat |
