This poem is very controverisal. I dedicate it to Venus Vs. Mars, and how they view things so differently. Women see love in this poem, most times. Men see sex in this poem, most times.
Drink From My Loving Cup
Come my darling drink your fill. From this cup you'll find great Thrills. The more you drink the More you'll lust.
Come sweet baby drink of this cup. The juices are warm the aroma is Sweet. You will find a desire, that Will sweep you off your feet.
In this cup you'll find love, Temptation, desire, and lust. Once you drink you will never Get enough!
Drink if you dare! With you I'll Share all the things of my loving Cup, great wonders are there!
Drink if you will, drink if you must! I'll give all the things in my loving Cup!
Once you taste, you'll never get enough! Drink sweet baby, drink from my cup!

Nothing in this poem says anything about sex . . . well, perhaps . . . lust? That it does and thast is where MY male mind ventured and stayed throughout this well-written poem. What is that old saying, Men give love to get sex, women give sex to get love. Sounds like a sure-fire winner to me. Good writing. New Orleans, huh. Houma, me.
Nothing controversial here, unless it's read in a session of Congress meeting on censorship. (Smile)
Of course real humans see nothing here to censure. It is very metaphoric in terms of the woman being "life" and the world around her being invited to take part in the talents that life offers us. And life can be extremely sweet, even when experiencing the bitter.
This poem has romance, philosophy, politics, experience, and wisdom. Glad you wrote it Sis. Alice.
