If Only

If Only

A Poem by Rita L. Sev
"

Wine is bottled poetry. - Robert Louis Stevenson

"



Poured a single glass,

daydreamed it was a pair

 

One for me,

in reality

 

One for the

phantom visage

you now wear

 

If only

you were here

for one small sip

of time

 

The glass would be all yours;

The shadow would be mine

Took this the other night, just thought it was cool the way the glass was casting the shadow on the wall. Tossed it around a bit in my mind...

Love how you took a simple photograph and made it into a deeper piece. The last lines:

"The glass would be all yours;
The shadow would be mine"

The totally turned the piece around for me and made it something deeper.

I loved it. Thank you for sharing.

Nice one, Rita. You're too good to give the real wine while you take the shadow. Lol. :)

You made me smile. :)
