Beguiling Spirits
Beguiling Spirits
I know of their enchantments
The longings they inspire
Of promised inhibitions
And kindling desire.
Constrained by walls which glimmer
Opaque or dim or clear
Sweet barely muted whispers
Succumb the naked ear.
A hand upon the vessel
The stopper freed at last
A casual undulation
Poured neat into the glass.
Embracing sips then swallows
Well finished is the fight
Enveloped by the liquor
Of amber, red, or white.
