Wineglasses
Form: Abecedarium
Theme: An evening conversation
Subject Wineglasses by John Singer Sargent

In the arbour
jostling dappled shades and sunlight
kiss against waiting glasses
lingering
mutations of light
nestle a glimmer of anticipation
on red wine
presage of an evening to come
quiet
reflections
sipping wine and
talking memories into twilight

Lyrics by M. L. Gore

You wear guilt
Like shackles on your feet
Like a halo in reverse
I can feel
The discomfort in your seat
And in your head, it’s worse

There’s a pain
A famine in your heart
An aching to be free

Can’t you see?
All love’s luxuries
Are here for you and me

And when our worlds they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it

Bring your chains
Your lips of tragedy
And fall into my arms

And when our worlds they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it

And when our worlds they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it

And when our worlds they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it

And when our worlds they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it
