Carrie Richards Poet Monorhyme

Sweeter Than Wine

He pops the cork from vintage vine,
then bubbles dance in scarlet wine
I look his way, his eyes find mine
The stars align, the stars align! 

He pours the glass, and as it tips
one drop remains there, as I sip
I leave for him upon my lips 
My heartbeat skips, my heartbeat skips!


The wine my lips had not yet met
becomes a bliss, I'll not forget
A kiss that tastes of sweet claret
Not one regret, not one regret
