A Bottle of Red

Slipping down inside a crystal chandelier 
red rouge cheeks running on through
breathe  as visions settle in my mind
you're just a little bit of nutty 
with an apricot perfume
quite exceptional  I do say
a kindred spirit bouquet

Teasing along the tip of my palate 
caramel gaze of grandeur glows
as you kiss my parched lips away
partaking a perfect compliment 
in every simple way
sparkles spill in anticipation
topping off a pleasant kind of day

Good Afternoon Tim. You bet lordy (lol). And yes, the red of it all. Allow me to say may the red always be with you and one and all. Where would we be without it. I very much enjoyed reading this entry. Have a wonderful afternoon. Well done

Good imagery and flow are both presented within these lines. This poem was a pleasure to read and review. Like a good wine it holds a smile and releases it in the reading. Emile.
