Will you gift me With but one drink From the brimming wealth Of your silver cup Overflowing I am parched of thirst My soul wasted dust Bitter from life long drought No tenderness flowing To quench the ache My lips bleed In hopeless supplication For but a small respite From this withered creation One calls existence Will you gift me With but one drink For your virtue is most sweet And your essence pure ambrosia Offering succor to this thirsty soul Please, I but ask Only one drink From your cup of kindness Overflowing S.A.T. Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

"Will you gift me With but one drink For your virtue is most sweet And your essence pure ambrosia Offering succor to this thirsty soul Please, I but ask Only one drink From your cup of kindness Overflowing" Ummmmmm, we could all use a drink of that, I think. Beautiful poem, Susan.  .....jo |

When I read you, the first thing that happens is a smile...the second is a sigh. Well done. TD |

A beautifully brilliant poem....if only one could drink and offer the drink from the cup of human kindness...thank you... Goldenrose. ''Death where is thy sting? Love where is thy glory?'' William Shakespeare. |

Dear poet friends, thank you for your kind replies. I was feeling grateful the other day for what a full life I have, and how some lives are so barren and they wish only for a little kindness. It was a fun peice to work out and play with. Thanks for the appreciation. Hugs -- Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Dear Susan, I was at once impressed and edified by the beauty of this poem: a beauty fashioned through your skill in maintaining a flow that is so unerringly in accord with its tone of, well, supplication. I was struck by the many appropriate images and the soulful tone which more than justified your excellent choice of the title. I look forward to reading and enjoying more of your poems and savouring your poetic voice often. Patrick. Patrick Talty |

I can't imagine a No to this....don't want to know anyone who could conjure it....and if I ever could imagine, it would be time to make some supplications of my own. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
