Pre-Script : YES, you are right IF you think this is dedicated to you :)
I have this goblet of glass,
Of it falling, I'm scared.
Day in and out, I'm worried,
that this will drop
and break into a hundred pieces.
I have this goblet of glass.
Crystal and clear.
Untainted. Of it I'm worried
That I will spoil it all
for now and forever.
I have this goblet of glass
filled with fluid ruby, precious
Nectar of life. I'm worried
That this will spill
all over my life and his.
I have this goblet of glass.
And it is mine, all mine.
Let it break, I wont.
That this will fall
Only when I drop down.
I have this goblet of glass
Filled with precious ruby of mine
Tainted but gave it all I got.
No more scared I'm.
Fear replaced by hope and love.
P.s: I have to tell you the history or rather the story of the picture above. This picture if of a $1000 ice cream available at a place called Serendipity. It has 23 karat gold all over it. And yes, I hate frivolous spending but this is my dream. I want to have it !! SOON!! Ok, my rant is now over.
lol awesome. nectar of life. i liked that
ReplyDeleteread By the river piedra I sat down and wept?
how the narrator makes her lover to break the glass... break the ego! fall in love? or acknowledge your falling!
I would have done the same if it was worth of 5 cents!
no, i like local icecream ;)
(grapes are sour?) hehe
You know the people who have the describe life as before they had it and after it!!
ReplyDeleteI tried to symbolise the glass as the heart! His heart! This is one of my poems I'm most nervous about!
Nervous!!!

ReplyDeleteI read that novel, as I told you before ... the similarity is striking here ... the Goblet, the glass, the pieces - the ego, the love, the impression and the echo!
Thanks for making me remember the time when I was reading the book ... there was so much of changes in my life that time ... I would never go back to that stage again!
Lost for words! :)
ReplyDeleteWHAT? 1000 $ ice cream ?:O
