Abstract acrylic painting ‘Summer at Home’ 210 x 148 mm; I.G.

The days of wine and roses

They are not long, the weeping and the laughter,
Love and desire and hate;

We pass the gate.

They are not long, the days of wine and roses:
Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while, then closes
Within a dream.
