I Raise My Glass
I raise my glass to you
You who has stolen my heart
And my mind.
I raise my glass to you
You who I worship
Above all others.
I raise my glass to you
In salute of our love
And hope that it lasts forever.
I raise my glass to you
Simply because I love to see you smile
And my heart you beguile.
I raise my glass to you
Read the rest of the poem Show less
To see the look in your eyes
And the love you can’t disguise.
I raise my glass to you
Because it’s a great tasting wine
But you taste better.

About Me
I have been writing poetry for many years and ran various sites from 1997, but I have decided to relax and just write and enjoy myself.
Location: Australia
The list is long
ranging from the Sicilian School of Court Poetry
then the English ones From Chaucer onwards to modern poets like the comedian Pam Ayers and Canadian
Leonard Cohen.
Kahlil Gibran is high on my list
as is Veronica Franco.
I have played around with Asian poetry
but find it hard to find out about Indian poetry.
Blank verse and Free Form are played with and I consider some them just as good as rhyme and meter.
