Just a touch upon the lips A pale pink from fingertips Just a sip from crystal glass As we fall in love's crevice Smoldering fire on cool fall night Scent of pine in the firelight Taste of fruit cut fresh and cold Caress of fingers growing bold Two hearts beating in solemn sync Two souls teeter on the chasm's brink Dare we drink full of wine's passion? Dare we think we'll fly to Orion? The kiss of wine won't be denied Then two lips kiss and cupid cried For love then felt in all its flower Without an arrow from his bower Two aroused people with hearts aflame Heedless of danger, heedless of blame Reclining at hearth, locked in embrace Trusting each other, and in God's grace |

This is such a warming poem. There's nothing like a fire in the hearth an a glass of wine. (And a friend, of course). You wrote the sentiments beautifully, as always. Let's see, how many hat tricks is this? Liz |

Liz- Hat tricks - remind me (no sacriligeous intent here) of that bumper sticker that read: "Jesus Saves - but Esposito scores on the rebound" Like many here I'm sure I write out of compulsion - an addiction writing allows me to 'vent' gives me a high at times I can't describe - Without this vehicle - I might be in a straight jacket - Thank you - to you - and all of those who care for this forum -I'm most appreciative Martie- Most of whatever I drink comes from the Napa valley ~G~ and the inspiration comes from within these hallowed halls S~ CatalinaMoon - Thank God for all these things ~S~ and thank you for your kind words |

Mr. Yeats, first, I must thank you... second, I must applaud you....only some of us know how to pronounce some of the words... A wonderful insight here... |
