Drink to Life
From deep the flask of heady wine
Your lips appear
Your tongue, your hollows
Your dusky muscatel
Songs from the amber of your throat
The ruby softness of your gown
Distill inside me now
Come drink you sing
Come drink with me
Come drink to life divine
Come drink till no more wine remains
Come drink yet one more time
Come drink to music’s lilt that fades
For what is there to days
Come drink yet one more time
This hourglass, this sweet flask of wine
