it was a chalice
of gold
filled to the brim with
the richest wine
and as I sipped
it overflowed
trickling down onto me
staining the place where my
heart would lie
and no matter how much
I slaked my thirst
it never emptied

I will love to see your tapestry, then...
"My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
my love as deep;
The more I give to thee the more I have,
for both are infinite."
--William Shakespeare, ROMEO AND JULIET
