Answers in a Bottle You love more Then love itself Slowly admired ------------------- ------------------- When lifted up to The awaiting lips Of consorts and Thirst-searchers ||||||||||Pouring soothing sorrow downward|||||||||||||| |||||||||To parched and canal eroded throats|||||||||||||| ||||||| Pausing only to listen for a few beats||||||||||||| |||||||Of what once had been a singing heart|||||||||||| ||||||Violin strings strike a distant chord|||||||||||| |||||||But back to the admiration that is you||||||||||||| |||||||An intoxicating beauty of glass and ice||||||||||| ||||||||Offering temporary happiness in a kiss|||||||||| |||||Or just comfort in the company of a friend|||||| |||||Listening quietly to problems and worries||||||| |||About people, and things but mostly people||||| |||Quietly understanding but giving only hints||||| |||Of the answers that may come in the hours||||||| ||||Or inebriating days that will likely follow||||||| ||||||So heads lay thoughts on liquid bosoms||||||||| |||And suckle the nourishment of no ones pity|||| ||||||Never hearing the contemptuous snicker|||||||| ||||||||||||||||Of admirations dying affection.|||||||||||||||| Marcel |

"So heads lay thoughts on liquid bosoms" but sometimes, the next day those blossoms don't smell so great a nice presentation |
