Ralph Sergi Poet Blank verse

Campari

You offered me your herbs and wine
that you never did before
you raised and nutured them
as if they were chidren
lest they grow wild
 or bitter on the vine

But this is a special time for you
you see things in a different light
you're  releasing restraints 
that you held tight
you created an extention
from yours to mine
when you offered me your herbs and wine

For my Campari , Tony Siligato
