Wine

red ambrosia 
you fell on my plate


sweeping away
all lines of restraints  


turning the sun
into dark moon of dust


your ardour
wild pulse on my white palette  


swirling fruit 
dark plum, blackberries and spice 


exploding colors,
heady spell of purple and black  


on my tongue.
the wine tour guide was right 


you made dining 
heady and sensational delight.

I just came back from wine tasting tour along Niagara On the Lake, Canada.   Definitely worth going back.

    Hi Heaven.
    Ha-Ha! Just had some wine and about to have another glass so your poem really tickles my taste buds. It's sooo heaven-ly!:):)

    I've missed being here so I would have to stock up, obviously.

    "...dark plum, blackberries and spice"

    Nothing like a wonderful wine to excite the taste buds, and set the mood. I enjoyed your capture of this image! (Making me thirsty!!)

    You made whine truly divine..haha...and sensual too, which of course I suppose can lead to many things when drinking too much of it.
