Intoxicated

You say I am not intoxicated dear woman.
But my sight is inebriated having drunken in your features.
Truly, you are a most intoxicating creature.

You say I am not drunk stunning girl.
But I am dizzy from your sweet perfumed hair.
It has left me in a state where I am truly impaired.

You say I am not delirious lovely lady.
But your voice has left my mind burning with fantastic visions of you.
You ravish my imagination with the words that slip from your tongue

You call me a sober fool which is just untrue.
To deny that I am under your influence is just cruel of you.
But no matter what you say, I am intoxicated.
If I am not drunk on drink,
Then I am at least drunk on you.

From the Desk of Donovan

Hey Donovan... Welcome to the halls of PIP. I have to say that I rather enjoyed this offering... so much so... that it inspired me to write my own piece. Keep 'em coming. Peace.

I don't know. I didn't write it with one person in mind.
