The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Lover's Wine

last night I dreamed a thousand lies
floating on moonbeams not surmised
a faceless lover I recognize
dreams unfounded that won't survive

breezes lilting deep green pine
our bodies flattening a design
on dense, sweet grass and forest vine
love heats quickly as we entwine
and you taste a lover's wine

opened eyes reveal night lies
of a dearly beloved and I
blazing truth in heart not mind
this broken heart split open wide
