Drinking of
Bitter Wine

I figured she was searching for a man
possessing understanding of the prophetic kind
when she said honey you know you always
have to take into consideration
a woman might change her mind.

Yes, yes I knew the words
she was saying were true.
And I know enough about women
to know that sooner or later
this one would do exactly
what she wanted to do.

Now I find myself
telling a friend of mine
that it seems like I spend
way too much of my time
drinking of bitter wine.

SBJ ... the subtle irony of your rhymes, strikes a chord in me...and touches me.
sometimes we see it coming...and still we go there.

You say forgive?
Thats a mighty big word from such a small man,
and I dont think I can forgive and forget just yet.

Me, I love women, whether the wine is bitter or not - and, like many, have had a number of sour grapes (have to wonder what they thought they had...huh?), but love them, even if only in memory, still, I do  - and the sweetness of the majority of the grapes, far surpasses any regrets I may have felt at the sourness of the few.

Me, I hope some of them loved me too - it's really what I try to leave behind wherever I go, with whomever I meet - but hey, we're all a bitter pill to swallow at times, aren't we.

Cool write, James...liked it very much.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh James, this is so very sad, sweet friend, my heart goes out to you and I know this feeling so much, never let them get you down, always follow your heart and what it wants and never let others pre-determine you! (sigh) My heart goes out to you, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
