Blackberry Wine
A bottle of Blackberry wine
Taken from a shared glass,
Items of clothing strewn
About the summer grass.
Two semi naked figures
One a girl, one a boy
Relaxing in the sunshine
After a period of joy.
They didn't need the wine
To loosen their inhibitions,
Things just happen naturally
In such pleasant situations.
No, they didn't need the wine
But afterwards it was so nice,
And maybe a good excuse for
Ignoring intentioned advice.
Two young people
The drink freed from stress;
As summer shadows lengthen
It becomes time to dress.
That’s the way,
Their day ends
Just once as lovers
Always as friends
Another Summer almost over,
A very special day;
Memories to carry with them
As they progress on life’s way.
They leave the fields together
Leaving far behind
One empty glass one bottle,
Once full of Blackberry wine
