Drunk on Love

Drunk on Love

A Poem by Kelly Scheppers

Drunk on love

 

 

 

There is nothing

I require of you,

other than

the look in your eyes

 

no clarity

or cut of diamonds

could take my breath away

like the feeling of you

so close…

 

to lie in the confines

of an unmade bed with you,

weekends long

 

quoting Shakespeare,

getting drunk

 

on love.

Inebriation, your eyes, ruffled sheets, the bard all in the first morning of love.

Purrrrrr!

It's an art that doesn't require us to stay inside the lines! ...always my best, Poppy!

very welcome. i like your style.
I love the way you make me remember, my need is to be that kinda woman. No manufactured restraints, no business jargon, baby throw up, just pure femininity. Your poetry is seduction, YOU ARE A Goddess!

...am I allowed to blush? Thank you, my dear Eve...and Tony!
Shakespeare is such an aphrodisiac.
Sentiments like a lover's presence being more precious than precious stones flies in the face of the bling generation.
They need to take a leaf from your book of love Kelly.
Loved this.

A most lovely interpretation...thank you, dear Gene!
An unmade bed. Another's heart. Shakespeare. To love or not to love, that's not even a question. Good one, Kelly.
