Within This Glass

Poem Commentary

I drink from the cup of life... her pure essence is a spirit that intoxicates my soul

Within This Glass


I hold my world in a glass

I cannot let it slip from my hands

For if its substance should spill

I would be left empty

 

        You are my world

        Liquid and flowing

        I have to drink you in

        Before you evaporate

 

I have to consume you within me

To devour you with my desires

Not to simply satisfy a thirst

But to mix your spirit with mine

 

        Here I am, take me

        Taste me and swallow me down

        Then let me pour myself

        ……………...into YOU

It warms the soul to know that you like this short piece.. thx Soul

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
