it has been so long since my last post I am ashamed of myself...  please read and enjoy.  i was inspired by my pastor's sermon to write this.  i hope it speaks to you.

Pain as Wine
 
5.31.09
 
There is a fine wine, bottled up until aged
Placed in a dark cellar:  It is called pain.
The wine has been tasted, bottled, and dated
From the past, stomped on, not an instant wasted.
 
Some drink this wine with each of their meals
Toasting every wound that never healed.
Sipping the drink letting it rest on their tongue
Closing their eyes as each memory is hung.
 
Others toast with friends over hors d'oeuvres
Feeding together as the taste they observe.
Together they stew and together they steep
As down their throats the aged wine seeps.
 
The wine is stored for next generations
To uncork and partake in those same sensations
And as the taste is reviewed, memories are unearthed
And the wine’s value has reassumed its worth.
 
Bottles in a cellar and stacked one by one
Pain never resolved; wrongs never undone.
Who’s ignoring their hurts?  Who is drunk on their wine?
All is bottled away and then left to time.

Riff on Chimene’s Pain as Wine
 
Pain is never bottled up;
It’s readily uncorked,
It’s taste is bitter when it’s supped
It’s not a mellow port;
 
Pain does not improve with age,
It only grows more bitter;
It’s apt to induce more rage
In the lonely sitter;
 
Pain is never shared with friends
At a family meal;
Pain is where all friendship ends
When we’re asked to feel,
 
It’s true that pain is handed down
One generation to the next;
It makes us unexpected clowns,
Not knowing why we’re vexed;
 
Pain blots out the memories
Its reason are forgot;
Its dregs are not our cher amis,
It makes the body rot.

A good poem, but, being old, I'd like to rework the ideas.

ah!  how is my poetic father??  i love your poem above.  i did think of taking my poem that direction, but i decided to take the poem down the road of less predictability.  I think it makes the poem a bit surprising :)
