Pop the Cork! Here’s a toast to past emotions To a love that could have been Pop the cork and pour the sparkling Tingling passion juice of sin Here’s to us, the two great actors Both pretending not to care Letting love slip fast before us Hearts in love but unaware Raise the crystal champagne glasses Glittering in candle’s glow Here’s to love that should have been And how it ended, I don’t know One more sip to life’s temptations You and I upon the stage One more bow to rave ovations Acting out our joy and rage Drink to all the many times We could have shared, we could have known All the passion swept away By pride that neither had outgrown Here’s to you and me just sitting In our favorite small cafe One more sip to words unspoken Words I needed so to say Crystal goblets ring forever Sprinkling fizz of bubbly wine Here’s to you, my soul mate always Cheers!, my friend, we still have time Elizabeth Santos |

Elizabeth, I'll have a glass of hope with you, but sip it slowly to make it last. Passionate and stunning write. Kethry Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |

My God Elizabeth!! I'm such a poetry fan of yours..I just love this one, it's definitely one of your best. I'm going to print this one out and file it. The theme has been the subject of so many unspoken mutual admiration love affairs...it never ends....it's human nature to be scared to death of rejection one fearing the other....letting the best thing in their life slip by....well, you've penned it here and with such eloquence I must add..I don't know if you're living it or not but either way it's marvellous work!! take care....ethome...... |

Elizabeth, We all create our own actions Devided into little fractions. Your loved beyond your wildest dream Go back and glean another gleam. Masterful writing, Love Sy |

Kethry, Thank you for the "stunning", and please join me for a sip ethome, I think you are right . There are many relationships that end because of miscommunication or whatever. Thank you for your generous comments Sy, Thank you for your kind remarks Liz |

Elizabeth, this is sooooooooo wonderful. Human nature is I guess, that some won't take a chance, but if you don't then you've lost. This is so superb, and a beautiful write. Take care Mushy Marsha  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

By now you know I love your writing - but this one - goes far beyond anything I've read from you so far. I haven't got enough superlatives - and any I can think of are totally inadequate. Absolutely fantastic poem - in every way. |
