Ballad of Love

As the chandelier dances with lustrous light. Eras of still slumber awoken...from fluid dreams, ...in the depths of her confines...hibernating.. ..fermenting her taste...timeless beauty. Legends of vineyards past...uncorked. Poured into existence by a charming present sommelier.. The bubbling prelude enters...a smoke filled scene. Her sparkling silhouette...emerges on a silver platter. ...of her bottled mystery of decades past. Penning the inception of empty chapters of glass... ..with her sweet tasting presence... ...nervously sweating condensation. Fulfilling the myths of bottled beauty of life’s unknowns. Overflowing the pages...in liquid stanzas ...of dazzling passion. Her legacy manifests...scripting an ardent saga, Staining the aura of pleasant reality. Shining elegantly...while striding across marble floors. Echoing...soft chronicles of champagne light. Love, a crimson...virgin berry...plucked from vineyards afar.. ...bottled for aging beauty...filled to the capacity of his clear figure.. While passionately...embraced by his fragileness of crystal arms. ...in the ballad of wine and glass.
