Best Port Wine Poems


Two Simple Graves
I visit them in silent repose,
their memories float on whispered breath.
Bringing the delight of days now gone,
I do not feel the sorrow of death.

Here I can still see his loving smile,
feel his spirit fill my heart again.
I see his eyes dance as laughter spills,
and tobacco...

Sailing
I`m Sailing 
I was sailing along the coast of Greenland the sea was
 as green as empty Port Wine bottles when 
a storm struck it was a fully automatic boat I batted down
 the hatches went below fastened the seat belt and wait.
Before I knew...

Here We Part Ways By Vera Polozkova Translation
Here we part ways, dear. Sorry, excess makes me sick.
You'll visit me one day as an anticyclone.
We ate cheese drinking Port wine few times a week,
Used to chip in for a new bottle like brothers.
From now on we'll no longer see one another.
I will remember...

Why Thomas K Thomas Left a Suicide Note
WHY THOMAS K THOMAS LEFT A SUICIDE NOTE

Nothing left aside,
He lay on his back
Eyes fixed at ceiling fan.
Reminiscence of Predicament
Of travels in shade
Sojournment in places many.
Land of beautiful women
Back waters,
Port wine and pure lust
Day of extravaganza
Deep poverty and sickness
Malaria and white gold
Girl with wheat complexion
Singing...

Night Time
Night time

Lost in the night time,
looking for a glass of Port wine,
so I can hide tears of loneliness,
just for one night,
then call  upon dear friends,
to join my drinking away,
pretending what we might have,
or to be,
so we cannot lose it,
even if we intend to.
We can...

Respite
Missing it all again
Between the raindrops
Beneath the water's surface
Believing all gets ruined 
But moving forward just a step
By step. By step. By step
Covers so much ground 
To endings & beginnings
Missing it all again.

Port wine tawny red,
My companion pours a dream
between the nightmares howling
A brief respite...

Half-Man
In the exodus of emotions
I try to flee human fears
in earth hour.

The sky will not be civil to me.
You had become a dark flame
like port wine.

Who was changing
the skin like a snake ?
I was busy cupping a hemangioma 

on the face of a moon.
Tucked between...

Consumed By Memories of Infatuation
Anguished pained introvertedness
choked, immobilized, paralyzed...
rigor mortis frozen state held sway
over mine adolescent body as if...
scared to death upon unavoidable
close encounter (perhaps maybe

third time within same number of
days), sans wretched mortified
inevitable orbit, this bodily Earth-
ling on trajectory to intersect app

which he gave me I also noticed he hands trembled

About Yesterday
I hate to do this to you
I kissed the scar tissue
on your shoulder blade

It sits there, port wine raised scar
placed there in a time before I met you
by a lighter held by a long ago friend

You were sleeping still, 
the white noise of the dehumidifier
filled...

Tradin’ Coon Hounds
Heard my dad mutter, a hundred greenbacks,
you trying to give me a heart attack.

For that much money, truth be told,
that dog of yours had better crap gold.

Then dad hemmed and hawed,
grumbled and guffawed,

Wiped his lips and said with a smile,
“Just let me chew on it...

X Shopping
Christmas shopping
Less and less, I like being near people 
The café was full of people talking about
How expensive everything is
Buy less is my answer, prices will fall
Until you can afford to buy things you like
To a reduced price 
Businesses react to demands by putting up
To...

Rose-petal lips, first quarter-moon forehead, galaxy face
Dimpled chin, button nose, flimsy jaw, eyes with a wild gaze
Skin that lures and intoxicates, like Tawny Port wine
She's divine. She's benign. She's also a sign of decline.

Created from the dust, she should go back to the dust too.
A...
