Bittersweet Wine

I sip thoughts 
like wine
to become 
intoxicated 
on you 

i raise my glass
in toast
to dreams 

with empty glass
and empty arms 

I sip tears
like wine

Sad but beautifully sad. They way you create and connect phrases, like an artist with a brush melting colors together to produce an amazing scene that leaves the reader breathless. Absolutely beautiful Sandy
