An Eternity
.jpg)
Looking at you
Sitting over a pond
The envy of Narcissus
As blue as my eyes
As deep as your soul
Drinking naught but love
But forty-eight hours later
We’re both dead
.jpg)
Is a joke lost
But explain, I think I must
After 48 hours
Some say seventy-two
Some do like to argue
Without water a man is down
So eat, drink, and make love
But in that order
If you want to live
To love
Another day

If I well understand your poetry, thank God, not a haiku... is it realistic against romance ?! Good advice for survival!
Thank you, Blue:)
You know, always my pleasure!
I love this... it made me laugh 😂
Good work
Glad for that. Thank you, May:)
Nice story pryde, as always.
Thank you, Jay:)
“Live to love another day” Brilliant!
It reminds me of James Bond:)
It does rather sound like a Bond title
But Pryde, how can you forget, or at least rank higher, the sheer ecstasy.... Of breathing. ;)
I know, you have to humor the Old Guy. Sometimes I fancy myself as clever if not the least bit humorous.
clever and humorous, you are
but breathing is done autonomically
you do it without thinking
Yes, I know, that's just like loving
but you have to pause both
to accomplish eating or drinking
verry nice a story amazing
One out of three?
One out of three ... I'm confused.
Eat, drink, make love... :( only one of the three for me.
Which one?
Oh god i should not have commented on this... i don't drink but i have to eat. The last one? Well never worked out so well
Haha ... consider yourself off the hook let:)
