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.

like with Shakespeare in Love as he wrote the play and lived it at the same time...on the sheets of paper and in between the sheets of their bed.

A lovely write Kelly but my Grandpa said everything in moderation probably why he lived to 93. Drunken love can lead to a hangover! Seriously it is special!

Its all those chemicals released in the mind that gives the high then slowly settles down ;(
The best days of our life.
