Brimming with care, prepared is our love-cup. <br /> <br />Thirst quenches deeper now nectar runs clear. <br />Not wanting to waste in sips, I drink up. <br />Swallow to glassy dregs, and unfearful <br />That love will taste bitter after such draught, <br />I settle it deep, and heart feels emboldened. <br /> <br />Now sweetened, ready for honeyed laughter <br />I escape the dreary norm, take firm hold <br />Of fate's hand and head for life love will control.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/quenched-thirst/
