Our philandering is futile.
Our sober interactions are dull,
but those in our inebriated states
tend to scintillate.

When we converge, you smile.
Your flirtatious gestures lull,
and ephemeral love compensates
for tomorrow’s lonely fate.

Is this adoration,
or simply consolation?

You call it "ephemeral" ... so I think it is indeed "consolation".

A very captivating piece of poetry, dear Amber.

Love,

I think it ends up being a little of both.
Is that wishy washy enough for a comment.....smile...
