Notes About The Poem

Sweeter Than Wine

Fermentation around us, awakens my senses, I can feel a warm blush radiate down to my toes I know your intentions, and we kiss in the moment, twilight above turns to burgundy red. You picked me a bouquet of the sweet supple bounty while, letting me sample a brush of the sun I'm tasting the bliss from the warm afternoon as the lush of the juice dribbles onto my chin Drinking the essence, from deep down within me You have tasted my lips with a wine flavored tongue The sky has turned purple, with rose colored dimples And sun dips so slowly, deep into the hills The mood is like swimming, and my poor head is spinning And I'm drowning quite dizzily, and drunk from the spell

The third line was confusing, still a stunning win in my book. CHASE

As a wine-lover, I really enjoyed reading this one. Those last four lines are especially awesome!

wow, this has to be THE BEST wine poem yet!! Makes mine sound so stilted with that form I used!! If this is not a hit, I will go out and actually drink a glass of wine (since I don't drink, that will be quite an accomplishment)

"Kisses sweeter than wine" as you show in this fine piece. Let us hope we fall under the "spell" soon. Peace & Love Matthew Anish
