Our Mutual Wine 





Upon a lustrous
Midnight surf
Cabernet Sauvignon
Spoke crystal clear
To my clandestine
Fondness of you

Intimidation which
Had held silent tears
In secret captivity
Was disillusioned
Through revelations
Of a mutual adornment

Although the laudable
Moon and its intensity
Were our only witnesses

It felt as if the
Whole world
Was watching
As your hand
Touched mine
And our dreams
Felt reality for
The very first time

Aloof distances which
Held our sad reserves
Of silent sentiments
In one moment
Traveled a lifetime
When love found
Courage and was
Moved to speak

A Poetic moment
Of equal proportions?

Perhaps...

Or maybe it was just
The bottle of wine
We portioned equally

Awesome poem! Very well written, good language and pace and everything. And you pulled it out of the norm with that last comment about the wine. I really liked it a lot!

This flow was awesome.

The short lines lit the fuse of a really great Poem and it exploded at the end.

Really good job, 'Anna.

Keep well.

It seemes such a pity that the bottled moment is so prone to fading with the stars. to say your your poem was good would be selling it short. Intoxicating maybe?

Our Mutual Wine

Combines two loves of my life, romance and wine - haha - Very nicely written - I liked it very much - like a fine 12 year old merlot! The ending is particularly apt - especially after sharing the wine! Very nice!

A liked the poem. While I enjoy big picture writing more, I have to say, for a poem focusing on the love and surrounding feelings about champagne, it kept me entertained.

Very poetic. The symbols of love capture are original. Thank you for not being cliche :)

I was scratching the dandruff out of my hair while reading your poem anna. There's just so much of it. I'm not much into romance but I think you had a smooth and fruity flow here. It seemed kind of sad but what do I know. My dead skin is covering the keyboard.

?????????????

How do you keep coming up with this extraordinary material?

I don't do poetry, but yours I could drown in.

Don't stop the flow (no pun intended)

Excellent poem. I would rather read one poem by you than a whole library of works by others lesser mortals.
