~ Days Of Wine & Roses ~

~ Days Of Wine & Roses ~

Along the limb of a tree
Near a mansion of mystery
I crawled, quietly
As the window was open
Then luckily,
I saw
The slow death of the matter
So stealthily,
I lowered a ladder
That landed right in front
Of freedom's hearth,
Where applause
Changed
The beat of my heart
Where true freedom
Was placed
Right at my feet
So, I swallowed my pride
Gave of my life
To change the lives
Of oh so many
That came after me
Singing happily
Of unpredictable days
That were
(the perfectly named)
Days,
Of wine,
And roses....

Beautiful poem Tony, 
"Where applause
Changed
The beat of my heart
Where true freedom
Was placed
Right at my feet
So, I swallowed my pride
Gave of my life
To change the lives
Of oh so many
That came after me"

It is poetry such as this that influences and scratches that itch I have when I wonder what to write.  You inspire everytime that your 🖊  meets 📃
