"Each Moment"
@Uootem
each moment
of first love elixir
still intoxicating in a dream
to come true again
in the drunken stupor of recalling
bubbling whispers
of youthful champagne promises
and the ecstasy
at every savored sip
when fingers were dipped
in love's sweet nectar
and thirsty lips kissed
tastes so exotic
so that I may imbibe
from the chalice of memory, today
and as I pour every drop
into a poem fermented to make
you inebriated with reminiscence...
but then not shared
for time and you have forgotten.
why now the tears of mine are shed
for fruits of the vine withered
along with the meaning of words
that meant so much
decomposed by harsh sun of fate
before they ripened
and
so I go to in quiet wait
and to drink alone
and remember again
loving words of a toast made
between you and me
and now that I have lost
the girl that I still love
to womanhood and time
poetry captures every word
no longer said
and then I savor every line
but no sobriety found.
