Intoxication

Wine never tasted so good

Love is like wine

That pours from our lips

Oh, come closer that I may drink!

For I am addicted

Drunk off you

Your intoxicating breath

Draws me closer

Promising me

This sweet delicacy

An upturned chin

Breaths held

Parted lips

And then, we drink

Mouth to mouth

Tongue to tongue

Savoring the moment

That we partake of this cup

I pull you closer

You hold me tighter

Each lost in the taste

Of such a rare thing

Soft touches become rough

And innocence flees

As we both become drunk

Victims to desire

Our thirst is endless

Though we soon pull away

Not wanting to sour

Something so sweet

But we cannot hide

Our little secret

Sparkling eyes

Racing hearts

And flushed cheeks

Give us away

As two people in love

Drunk off each other

ah, ive had this feeling before, nicely put

[Emilee Grimm]

Such a nice way to describe such a wonderful thing: love.
It is true that when you find that ceratin someone you can seemingly become drunk, from being with them, from kissing them, from touching them and being touched by them. This poem was beautifully written and I enjoyed reading it very much. I wouldn't change a thing! My favorite part: "And flushed cheeks/Give us away/astwo people in love/Drunk off each other" LOVELY!!!!

I love the intensity, and the flow is perfect!
well done.

[Viki Rachel]

Intensely romantic.
"Give us away as
two people in love
drunk off each other"
My favorite part. This is such a strong poem in the way that it makes me think of sensual, passionate love.

[Geralyn Miller]

Sensual, yet innocent, and that is a difficult line to walk and you have done it so well. The only criticism I can make is the final line, wouldn't it sound better if you changed the word "off" to "from"? Just a suggestion.
