I’m reblogging this post from two years ago as a friend who just read the poem said it was whimsical, melancholy, and achingly sad at the same time.
Thank you Friend!

I dreamed of Peace and Pleasure
I dreamed of Beer & Gin
I met some friends I never knew and others I’ll not see again
I laughed until I could not laugh and danced with most the men
I kissed and hugged and smooched a lot
with Friends I love and Love a Lot
and expect this joy can really not
repeat its self again
The soft white lights and blue delights
The candles burning in the night
The fountain running thru the night
The Rat Pack singing Pure Delight
I had my Sapphire Party
The Party I needed to give
So keep those Peace Signs close to you
Who Knows how Long we’ll Live

I’m glad you listened to your friend. I loved this achy, melancholy, breaky poetry! xo
Thank you my dear, I was really describing an achievement in my life and one I was proud of and one I had a good time at but while “composing” if you can call what I do that, I was overwhelmed that it was a pinnacle and due to circumstances, most due to time and age, one probably not to be repeated. Certainly not put together by me who rarely puts together anything anymore. Also it was an extremely trying and sad time in my life due to the eminent death of a family member.
So thank you for the compliment, I relived the good parts reading it again. It was MY Sapphire Party and I was proud. ~~dru~~
(ps and dancing and smooching which brings out the joy in me)
Your friend’s comment was spot on.
Love the sumi-e of the drowsy cat.
Thank you Mellow, this is one of the few scribbles that I have ever actually worked on for more than a minute or two. I was proud of it and the feelings my friend ascribed to it were exactly what I was experiencing. the compliment is much appreciated. ~~dru~~
