come sip the Claret
with ruby lips savoring
anguish falls away

My response to Carpe Diem #1232 past regrets and future fears
Here is the quatrain Chèvrefeuille has given us to work with:
Ah! my Beloved, fill the Cup that clears
TO-DAY of past Regrets and future Fears –
To-morrow? – Why, To-morrow I may be
Myself with Yesterday’s Sev’n Thousand Years.

This feels exotic and unapologetic…come on ‘anguish fall away’, because I’m ready to do it all again! Got all this from ‘ruby lips’, lol, my imagination is in overdrive. Love it☺☺
