Words Like Wine
Words Like Wine
Intoxicated by your voice
I stagger in your spell.
No one knows the things you say,
And I will NEVER tell.
Your finer graces paint my world
With romance so sublime,
I feel I live a time-warped life,
Another place and time.
The syllables and sounds I hear
When you convey your heart,
Give me a heady feeling yet,
I swear I'm in the dark.
Words embibed from your sweet lips
Inebriate my mind.
You have a power, Lyricist,
To captivate in kind.
Drunken to a lethal dose,
I break a hundred laws.
Words like wine have captured me,
In letter, phrase, and clause.
Must I intoxicated sway
Beneath this veil you've caused?
A voyeur in the film of life,
My VCR on "paused"?
I read you like an open book,
To words like wine a prey.
I put myself in straights tonight.
I'm joining Word "AA".
Your life may be as full and sweet
As the barrel after rains,
But words like wine from your sweet pen
Deliver different pain.
To live a lifetime looking for
The words that fill your mind,
Then know that they were not for me,
Is loathesome and unkind.
My wretched heart though bleeding sore,
Still beats within my breast.
As I now leave your words like wine,
I'll do so in distress.
No sweeter mem'ry fills my heart
Than our communique.
Farewell, thou Master of the Wine.
I say adieu today.
Hellow there.

Dear Jess
It is such a beautiful poem! The graphics is out of this world – exquisitely done like only a true artist can do it! This is what poetry is all about – the enchantment of poetry, music and a beautiful picture combined!
I love it!
