Drink from me
For what we’ve been
Take from me
All you have seen
Let the inspiration flow from your veins
Let the shadowed darkness, linger, remain
Drink from me
And from your shame
Feast your heart
Upon my words
As though now
You might be heard
I remember once on seeing your face
Knew you’d scar with memories, never erased
Feast your heart
Your words replaced
Take this rhyme
It’s meant for you
Nothing else
I give that’s true
If in some strange time we once more could smile
With a restful heart could tarry a while
Take this rhyme
And be beguiled.
(This is an homage to a favourite melody/song from Les Mis…the Drink to Me song..so the melody and lyric form was floating in my head for weeks and this poem came out of it. 🙂 )

I love what floats around in your head and comes out on my screen!! 🙂
Thank you dear one, that is so sweet!! 🙂 🙂
Evoke, evoke, evoke! Nice job.
Thank you so much!! 🙂 🙂
Very lovely.
Thank you, that is so kind! 🙂
Loved going on this journey with you my dear Sis xxx
Thanks Roxi!! 🙂 🙂 xxx
This was wonderful. I must confess though that I’m a horrible remiss person and I’ve never seen Les Mis…need to get my act together! lol
LOL, I don’t think not seeing Les Mis means you are a horrible person, I think it just means you’ve missed out on an excellent theatrical experience!! 🙂 🙂
I need to just rent it on my apple tv! 🙂
That’s an option! the movie with Hugh Jackman et al is good so that might be the easiest way. But get a box of tissues out..it’s a weep-fest! 🙂
And from that remaining darkness.. 🙂
Yes, thank you!!! 🙂
You are truly an artist, Helen. I am honored to know you.
Wow, Eric, thank you, and ditto to you!! 🙂 🙂
