Days of Wine and Roses


The days of wine and roses
The smell of sweet perfume
The taste of bitter sweet
The blazing red of bloom

Tommorrow was never walked in a day
but always a lifetime to run through
When today is tommorrow
There seems nothing left to do

Never stopped to smell the roses
letting todays get away
The perfume, now a memory
of today's yesterday

The frost's now on the heather
The mist is tears of brine
A view of no tommorrow
The last breathe on the vine.

Winkay,
It seems life's choice is to live for today or act for tommorrow.
The choice isn't a very good one....
The thoughts of why I wrote the poems was that living for tommorrow sometimes come to end, and our only choice is to live for today. When that time comes, we regret all the todays which we lived for tommorrow.
