Best Stirred Poems

I read Your Word
my soul is stirred

The light comes on and that’s a fact
which puts men’s thoughts to inquiry.

How can mere words have such impact?
You formed the world with “Let there be…”

If I have just one more drink
(slightly stirred but never shaken),

I can drown them. They will sink,
if I have just one more drink.

This time they'll stay down, I think
and for once, I will awaken

(if I have just one more drink),
slightly stirred, but never shaken.

I've been used and abused, mistreated and mislead,
so many times before, it's wonder I'm not dead.
Been thrown downstairs, pushed through the door

the cuts that bled soundlessly, those scars did fade.

What is a word what do you re call
When reading or writing it
Does it mean any thing at all
One definition of justice  is fairness
Many say no such thing exists
Or maybe you didn’t shine

desperate for any trace of you

Marmite cocktails are delicious I've heard
They are the hippest cocktails being served
