Thread: Daily Libation

`





Raise again this chalice,
fearsome and seductive;
that brims with venom
and sparkles with promise

that in the twilight beckons...


Raise this goblet
to once satin lips
now runnelled with
bypassed dreams,

you hope but hope in vain...


Gulp down your fill,
wait for forgetfulness still;
let the dregs of this cup
caress your wearied mind,

'til dawn tops it up again.

The structure of this poem is great and thus adds to the already deep meaning. going from quadrant to a single line, in my opinion, helped the poem go together. Maybe some change on the rhyme on the last stanza, but other than that it was a great poem.
