The Chalice of Night

Oh, drink from the chalice of night.
It is here, my dear, only for you.
Come to me on this starry night
if romance you choose to pursue.

Imbibe, if you will, the sweetest wine.
Oh, drink from the chalice of night.
Come savor these soft lips of mine.
Be drunken with me on delight.

Beneath the moon so full and bright -
like this goblet glistening gold -
oh, drink from the chalice of night.
Your body I’m longing to hold.

Come rock with me, darling, till dawn.
We’ll be soaring to passion’s height,
so until the last drop is gone,
oh, drink from the chalice of night.

Andrea, 'Come savor these soft lips of mine. ~~ Be drunken with me on delight' Cross a desert all day to get to this poem. Rocked like a babe in longest night and arms. What poetry was meant to convey. -Richard

Just in case you wish to send me wine I prefer some French Chateau, Vol. 13, guaranteed and fragrant. Happy drinking. Hugs.

Incredibly done, Andrea. I suppose I should withdraw my entry? (chuckling) I took an entirely different approach to the "Chalice of Night."
