I live in the land of fire and wine,

This is a marvelous poem, encompassing beautiful sonority of verse and deep though, great images and metaphors accompany the stupendous, All. Very attractively presented with poetic excellence on life and human behavior and history. Last line, poetic excellence at its best, a whole poem in itself: 'Only rain quells the pain of those parched by desire' A truly unforgettable piece. XX
Thank you, Sandra! Your kind words are much appreciated. I'm glad you liked the poem!
A refined poetic imagination, Michael. You may like to read my poem, Love And Lust. Thank you
The land, where the sun and the moon and the stars still shine has turned into the land of fire and wine and this provokes thought. From the dawn of the day till the dusk of time fruits flame and thoughts scribble mind on perception. That Satan and his minions taint attack bringing obstacles. The wrath of God's Hand is superior. Only rain quells the pain. God's mercy falls on human beings as rain falls on Earth. We overcome every trouble by his grace only. This is an excellently penned poem shared here with brilliant perspectives...10
Had to read this again and tell you how much I like and admire this poem! Unfortunately, timeless because things have not changed but gotten worse in this beautiful American State that the hands of " politically correct idiots" and political Devils, have so hurt and destroyed. Should be given to and read by all those that don't realize how stupid they are and how low they fall, destroy and fail.. Those that falsely say " they want to save the planet! "
