A Course For Two

In a cafe
somewhat blase 
(I suppose)

A glass pendant glows
above You and Me;
a newly created pose.

Our eyes reflect no guise:

Whisper to me in sweet libation,
drown me in Chianti conversation,
with no pause.

Our lap cloths desire the impure:

the dessert of When and Where 
within,
We scoff at the (Maybe)
of decadent bare skin,
never demure.

Dare we continue this course for two?
Finish the glass, my dear:

The blase cafe, no longer in sight,
I propose we collide in Twilight
tonight.

A very seductive poem, Michele! Love the line: "drown me in Chianti conversation." A bit of win can certainly enhance romance, can't it?
