If Only

Wine is bottled poetry. - Robert Louis Stevenson

Poured a single glass,

daydreamed it was a pair

 

One for me,

in reality

 

One for the

phantom visage

you now wear

 

If only

you were here

for one small sip

of time

 

The glass would be all yours;

The shadow would be mine

 

 

Author's Note

Took this the other night, just thought it was cool the way the glass was casting the shadow on the wall. Tossed it around a bit in my mind...

I tend to write some pretty silly stuff (I teach middle school, so Silly is always with me). But on occasion one of these comes out. Thanks again!

this is one of those times when it all came together right and became more than the sum of its parts
