The Finest Wine

 

I must be a Burgundian Pinot Noir
Appetizing to your body with a sweet bliss, and I bet I can make you lose
your mind
You sample me, the finest Burgundy, makes you woozy in the head
You are instantly fulfilled, and I am empty after your taste
The glass completely devoured of its potent fluid
Greedy Hunger
Unquenchable thirst
You didn’t even bother to ask to see if I was in need of a drink
There is more to me than what the label will reveal
My contents are more than ten times the level of legal alcohol
But I am antique
Exquisite, and a pure drink
Get drunk in my full body
Become robust in my bitter love
Exhaust all of your inhibitions and get drunk in me
Don’t take two shots, while you are at the bar you may as well stumble
Then toast once
Then have another and another
Until I am gone
The next morning’s hangover will promise that your actions were wrong
But having a drink meant nothing to you because for your loins it’s been too
long.
I burn in the back of your throat
I create a fire in your belly
There is a heat all over your body
And I am to blame
I am impressive as hell, or can’t you tell?
I am the envy of all of your friends, so you lust after my cup
I am your trophy
And in the night you show me, and in the morning can’t stand to look of me
You are wasted
And so was time…
I think I will fine the cabinet of a connoisseur who can appreciate this wine….

You my dear are The Domaine Romanée-Conti.. The most rarefied and expensive wine in the world, with vintages that need decades to mature. At a tasting for the 2006 DRCs, Bruce Palling hears one vintage intone “Leave me alone you fool--don’t you know I am trying to sleep?” ...Super writing Blvd...T64

There are a lot of great lines in this passionate piece of work. The arranging and re-arranging of words is a gift you possess. I will tell you as someone told me: Write On!

I apologize for the late response life us just being life right now...but I couldn't wait to say thank you...it is always humbling and heart warming to hear such words as always I am forever grateful

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
