  • Between the Vines

    This life's
    replete with spirits,
    why don't you grab a glass,
    and drink this one
    - a hundred proof -
    as if it were your last.

    Dance,
    while your bones are limber,
    sing,
    while the lyric's clear,
    come,
    stain your lips,
    with the season's
    ripened harvest,
    as it bares.

    For
    this life,
    is the growing season,
    and this skin's,
    for the vintage wines,
    so flesh out
    every single drop,
    then fall asleep
    between the vines.

    To the last drop, bitter sweet.

        Love the lines - but the flow is fabulous. Wonderful advice and poem.

            Your conversational style works so well in this poem. And, of course, you are talking about one of my favorite subjects!
