Analysis of The Liquor of Life

deborah k Bates

I see the fear in your eyes
Yet love on your smile
Please do not run, nor be scared
I desire not to own nor tie you down
I desire not to use what you give or say
I desire only to share from my cup with you
The liquor of life before it runs dry

I believe forever can be just a moment in time
If we have only this moment, then this is my forever
and in my forever I was loved by you

deborah k Bates

My passion is people and assisting them to create the life they want. I do this as an Author – Counsellor – Mentor.A professional writer I write to inspire through the encouragement of viewing life through metaphor, higher perspectives, introspection and the principles of nature.With a goal and purpose – to turn the mundane world upside down and into a magical journey – to negate the annihilating nature of self reproach or self loathing towards feeling whole as a person – to encourage one to dream beyond their wildest dreams to create the life they want to live – to transform mediocrity into magnificent – to find ecstasy and joviality despite the ups and downs.Discover more at http://www.deborahkbates.com Read my blog at http://www.deborahkbates.com/blog more…
