A LOVE AFFAIR LIKE A SPILLED GLASS OF WINE

Pour your glass of wine
Red, deep and strong
Undilated and rich.
Hints of oak and berries fill the room

I watch it stain your glass
As you swerve it around,
Your grip ever so tight

Let it go, let it fall, spill it
Let it rush to my head;
Trickling down the glass and leaving a stain,
Bold and velvety- Château Margaux!

I feel it tingling in my system
At the tip of my tongue, and in my veins
My gaze meets yours,
You don’t have to scrounge for my attention


There are more cases under the bed
Oh a love affair, like a spilled glass of wine
