Long Fine as wine Poems

The Sun had risen to greet the day
    and marveled at such a range of wondrous things.
Where below the warmth it brought to bare
    was causing a Thrasher's heart...

Sheer poetry in motion with a picnic basket in hand 
Laughing brandishing a bottle as he lopes along the sand
His handsome features completely wreathed in smiles
Lifts and twirls me round - my squeal must be...

Hit Repeat
Written by Rebekah Shipp

When this sick beat drops
And you find yourself lost
Bass ALL up in your ears
And your eyes start to tear
When the treble pops your lid
It’s Casablanca all over again
Cause all...

To you, Langston, I pay my dues
You paint my world in lovely hues

Your words a balm to troubled soul
Whose dreams like yours, remain on hold

Langston, I stand behind the wall
I stand here too, feeling so...

Your lips, a wine, a fine cherry wine,
That I'd like to drink, drink while I dine;
To top things off, a look at your hair,
Colored strawberry red, it is so rare;
Mostly seen, bunched in a tail,
Outlining...

I love Langston Hughes. I've written about him before. I've written about the Dream Keeper. I love the theme of dreams. You should read his poem, Dreams. However, today, this poem is speaking to my...

Out for a clandestine walk in the dark wood,
I kept my curls covered with a bright red hood.
I sensed a baleful presence, creeping very near
so I stopped a moment to listen with keen ear.

A rustling...

With alcohol coursing through my veins,
I sense and feel the best of my pains.

With double resolve to amend my aims,
I can’t believe I really want to.

Oh Alcohol!  Oh Alcohol!  Oh Alcohol!
you are the...

We Two, Shall Love As One

Our love rests within two beating hearts, 
I love the spirit and grace resting in you,
There's nothing shall ever keep us apart,
as thirsting grass pines for morning dew. 

We shall...

Have you had a dinner overlooking Rome?
A quiet, garden setting, where you two are alone?

Darkened bushes, candlelit table, with tiny lights all aglow,
romanticize the setting, as we all know.
 
Start with a glass of a...

Relaxing on the porch as darkness fell,
I sipped iced tea, reflecting on my day.
There was breathtaking beauty all around,
the perfect lawn, a pleasure to survey.

I'd had a scrumptious meal with fine red wine
and watched a...

Age is just a number 
It's not a true sign
that one who is a senior 
is not in their right mind

Age is just a number 
it does not matter all that much
as long as you're...

Our love rests within two beating hearts, 
I love the spirit and grace resting in you,

We shall love within each other's touch,...

Love is like the sun,
Is this saying true?
Then crushes are like the moon,
This I believe do you?

I blushed at your every movement,
To be honest I stalked.
Reminiscing every little moment,
Shared in every little place.

Your long legs...

Packaged and sent to Robert Gorelick’s
Made him a Doggy Book Of Limericks
That had me roaring-unique
Some were cute and very chic
A twisty phrase he pulls-off, are his tricks

A postcard; his picture, a return address
Newly printed and...

Hey, I thought of you today.

I wondered how you were feeling and if you were having a good day.
I wanted your day to be blessed in every possible way.
I know that life gets rough
And sometimes...

Rescued from the side of the road on a cold and rainy day
Thrown out like a piece of trash...a worn out throwaway
So I pick you up and cover you up and bring you home with...

Among your orchard grooves lemon green grew
At first the dream-like pear-shape eyes
Until i parted and stared closely 
Into your cherries iris pupils
That aim the Cupid's arrow, 
Piercing through my reddened apple
Puncturing a spring full of...

Just another caterpillar afternoon,
inching along lazily;
Skin feeling how faint the prairie wind blow,
time no longer telling you 
	       how slow the summer grass grow
So you take another sip of...

Burgundy
My dear Burgundy, I heard a purple, splendid tapping
Burgundy you color my heart, my soul
You, Oh!, so you said only this you’re in trappings red
I crave the crimson, cerulean canary yellow this I dread
And the...

And With Tantalizing Depths Found We Paint Beauty Divine

My soul so positive, this old heart beating so steady
Rhythm and rhyme bursting so like a balloon to get out

On the East River’s waterway
 looking over the Hudson Bay
Under Brooklyn’s “Welcome” neon sign
 passing some time away

Drivers on the B.Q.E.
 stuck in the red light car brake haze
Commuters inching their way back home

The mystic eyes of sorrow blue,
his voice does sing a tender blue.
And skin be merely white as porcelain
and turned to cream as tears prick his cheek.
He sings a solo from his soul for he is...
