I couldn’t quite decide which way to go with the loving cup so you get two for the price of one. Whether you like it or not! It’s a bargain. 🙂
A bit less loving in its purpose here below………
***************************************************************
And so they lifted lips to gilded vessel,
Sips they shared, the wine a loving cup,
Drank a toast to trust and to their unions,
Fashioned fealties, supped with every drop.
Sacrificed simplicity to beggared,
Adornments guilt-edged, paths of royalty,
Fettered by encroaching ways and tethered,
Love ceded to complex hypocrisy.
