Ravensong Poetry And Writing Blog by Donovan Baldwin

 

I pour a glass of the amber liquid

Softener of memories,

Play, "The White Rose of Athens",

Again and again,

Blending memories of fantasies

With great Kentucky bourbon

Staring into a moonlit darkness,

Across a sea of moving

Silver tipped hills,

Seeing a face

Hidden in the moon,

Until,

Finally,

The music fades to silence,

The lonesome bottle,

Faithful dead soldier,

Stands empty guard

Over full and floating dreams,

Bathed by

Softly remembered moonlight,

Shining in another life

Which never happened,

But in desires and wishes,

Hearing one last echo of,

"Till the white rose blooms again..."

Turning with a sigh,

I pick up my pen,

And write the words...

"I pour a glass of the amber liquid..."
