Raise a Glass to Despair

I am drawn to you as an alcoholic to a glass of whiskey, 
I lift you to my lips taking a simple sip, 
I pour you from the bottle I’ve enclosed you within, 
Without fail,
Another day,
Another drink, 
Why can’t I stop pouring,
Pouring and drinking from your glass?,
I put you in the bottle, 
I expected you

Raise a Glass To Freedom

Raise a glass to freedom
The salutation to Peter Fonda
Who passed away today 
And the 60’s fade away
Captain America riding free forever
On his chopper on the highway to Heaven
With the wind in his hair
And freedom forever on his mind.

Raise a Glass

Ever gently the moon did rise
Distant unmoved by her cries
Alone 'neath a weeping willow
Many, many long years ago

Dreaming love would come
Waited a long millennium
That's when bolted cupid's arrow
Many, many long years ago

Sunsets to soothe her soul
As ruthless time would take its toll
Her lover's soul a rodeo
Many, many long years ago

Empty loneliness pervaded
As each final moonray

Raise a Glass

To all you poets I don't know 
I wish you well wherever you go 
I see your poem as I look
Puzzles me what path you took?

I cannot read every line 
Of your poems.....limited time! 
I Wish you well ... Lad or Lass 
Cheers to you...Let's raise a glass!

Let's Raise a Glass

LET'S RAISE A GLASS

There's theories about how our life began
From sea as some have said
Some say we've all descended from apes
Look at the shape of our head

Some noggins have ape-like structures
More obvious in some than others
Guess we're probably related after all
Ancestors, sisters and brothers

Sometimes prompted to swing from a tree
Perhaps that's a pretty good sign

Raise a Glass&Burn the Past

Raise a glass.
Let's make a toast.
You&I. 
We can burn the past.
At times when I feel like I will lose all sanity.
I look into your eyes and thank all that's holy for bringing you to me.
Let's light a match and strike it.
Burn the past that brought so much I want to forget.
A past filled with much

Raise a Glass For Cheer

To you my friends, I raise this glass
of love, good will and cheer.
For, may we meet again, for laughs,
at this same place next year.

Fear not the passing on my friends,
should you, not then, appear.
For, we will fill a glass for you
at your setting every year.

For, if you show in spite of death,
to raise a glass
