Poetry

Two Poems by Elizabeth Davidson

Champagne Stains

Make a pact, break a glass

Champagne showers for the mass

Late night sidewalk conversations

Between a poet and a painter

Swim an ocean just to say

You inspired me today

Make a pact break a glass

Champagne showers for the mass

Isn’t it lovely how the world turns

Isn’t it lovely how words burn

And the bubbles float from cup to nose

Tickling and brushing against

The humble thoughts in your brain

Make a pact, break a glass

Champagne showers for the mass

Build a boat, float

With starfish and whales

Swimming seas just to see

The other side of the shore

Make a pact, break a glass

Champagne showers for the mass

Sea Song

Jumping off a bridge into obscurity

Deep sea diving, from this peak

For oysters with pearls

To put onto a string

And wear around my neck

for the world to see

Jumping off a bridge into obscurity

I hold my hand out to you

“Will you join me?”
