She is a long, cool drink of vintage wine
Poised before my lips
And held there until the end of time
Savored with little sips
Not drained in one fleeting, clumsy swallow
Bypassing the sensitive tongue
Slowing the flow brings such pleasure to follow
Lessons not learned by the young
With age comes a deepening form of understanding
Of how to sustain that flow,
To savor forever the taste of her I am demanding
And in doing so,
The moment that would otherwise be spent fleeting
Is frozen somehow in time
A choice I chose willingly upon our first meeting
To tend her green growing vine

She will thus ripen, upon lips of mine
She, that way will be, like vintage wine

What an exquisite association of her with wine! Your appreciation is expressed with the touch of elegance we have come to expect from you.

Very beautiful, also in the concluding lines.

Love,

Delectably dreamy! I have often thought of my own kisses as being akin to sips of a fine Bordeaux that get better with the passing of time ~ and experience.

Choosing favorite lines from such a wonderful whole is all but impossible... but these linger so delightfully.  *S* Beautiful work!!

what lovely sentiment
"She is a long, cool drink of vintage wine
Poised before my lips
And held there until the end of time"

Of how to sustain that flow,
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
