Drunk Love

take me home where i could drink  the nectar's sweetness. assuage my thirst with love's splendor  the heart's chamber overflowing honey. sit on my heart affectionate desire. drink together and sleep under  the crescent moon a million stars studded the heavens, I swoon. crazy i allow  too much love. intoxicated. drunk. take my heart, rip it. a lustful endeavor. please forget not to sew the rippings back together. while i bathe upon the memory 'tis the moment that i come alive. play it back mystified again beguiled love is drunk. (Note :  My pieces lately seemed unfinished work of thought/art as this one appears to be such. The words seem to vibrate, so I let them come out naturally. Reality or imagined, it doesn't matter now. But, hopefully I could take back a step for awhile and work on the style and art of  words without defiling pure self-expression. Thank you for the great talents I find here at soup.  Looking forward to many learnings from y'all. I would highly appreciate any souper who would like to mentor me from time to time. Soup mail me anytime. Thanks so much. )

Love is one thing that is not regulated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. Anybody can freely get drunk on love, and you can be under twenty-one. This was a fascinating write.

Ok so this poem was raw, relatable and the word choice was exquisite. Though maybe change a couple things, just so that the lines are read easier; perhaps like this: "take me home where i could drink the nectar's sweetness. love's splendor lustful endeavor the heart's chamber overflow honey. sit on my heart; affectionate desire. (because affectionate's isn't the right context I think)" overall it was very well written, and I cant wait to read more, thank you for sharing

Consider writing it in reverse from the line ie: "love's drunk" "mystified again" "play it back" until you get back to line one. I think this would work so well for this poem. If you wish to do this it may require some minor reworking of some of the earlier lines.

oh wow, I had not noticed your title and when I finished reading this, Drunk with Love was what came to my mind. You very appropriately titled this one that "vibrates" with your poetic words.

Wendy, I loved your work,, I think you can very well leave it further untouched. Sometimes this rawness appeals to the reader more than a finished poem.. Best wishes and happy New Year to you.. hugs , gautami
