THE WINE OF YOUTH


    TAKE LIFE
    ENJOY THE RIDE

    FOR LIFE

    WILL GIVE YOU

    THE HIGH.



    NO MATTER
    HOW FAST I GO

    TIME
    WILL MAKE ME WAIT

    KEEP ON THE ROAD]
    THEN YOU WILL,
    SEE THE END.

    GO OFF
    THEN YOU WILL
    SEE YOUR END.

    POEATREEMAN

    NO JOY RIDES
    FOR SADNESS
    WILL APPEAR.

THE WINE OF YOUTH


Drink not
From this Vial of Wine

For yet you  not
Feel its Flames

and Taste
The Bitter Sweetness
of Your Youth

That Burns Within you

For Foolish Things we Do

To make the Time go by

Speeding Forward

To what we Know not

Inpatient we Have been

To Find

We are

Still in the Place we left

The Sweetness and the Sorrow

For Time

Can be no man’s Servant

It Waits

Not For us,  but We for it   

A Painful Lesson

To be Learned

When we are

Consumed by Youth

For our Failing is

We move Beyond

What is not Yet to be

We must only Drink of Youth

Not take a  Shot to Boost

We must Face the Years

 As they Come

For then

We can Learn for one....
