Drunk in Love

Drunk in love

photography by / Gabriele Rigon

 

 

with martini in hand

he stood poised,

wearing a come hither glance

like a well-worn suit.

 

dallying my Jimmy Choo heel

from a pedicured toe,

i bit the cherry

from its abbreviated stem,

pleasuring in the heady intoxication

of an almond liqueur.

 

it was the lure of his smile

that beguiled me,

the speared olive in the martini glass

that initiated the parting of lips

the embryonic tryst, of being

 

drunk in love.

This a word I rarely use but.. this is a WOW of a poem. Has your sparkling words, picture (gorgeous fun), the classy clothes, cocktails and other flavours, the 'come get me 'looks and - the feeling that there is a lot more going on in their eyes! Start to finish - seductive,

Have to tell: this poem just splayed itself on the screen, no idea why cos it goes back a while. Not complaining though... opens the door to my jaded imagination, Kelly!

[Cassie]

Oh Kelly, you surely are making my afternoon. If I were to put a review, my review would be an injustice so let me re read. This is superb! Thankyou for sharing

[Kelly Scheppers]

This was an absolute blast to write. I am so thrilled you enjoyed it. Thank you, Cassie!

Hi sweet dear, waiting for your next writing, you can go beyond limits, its ok, i am fine,, just feeling sad that i hurted you. Sorry again, i do need heels to stand beside him.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Jessy, everything is good...no need for apology! I am thrilled you enjoyed this one. It was a fun piece to write, with its parody and humor!

[JessyJacob]

I love you Kelly, thank for your gracious heart, keep smiling like a kid when you are with us. Any woman can feel jealous of your beauty, dont lose your loving smile on your face.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Jessy!

Blown away. .I now have to read them all. ..tonight. thank you for this steamy, vivid, glimpse into the biting of a cherry. Incredible, I could feel and taste the cherry, that is powerful poetry

[Kelly Scheppers]

So thrilled you enjoyed it. Thank you!

Sensationally sensual lines and almond liqueur aside, clothes maketh the man so they say.

Just wish I could afford Jimmy Choo heels. :))

Beccy.

Carrie Bradshaw was my introduction to Jimmy Choo heels. I prefer an opened toe though, for I love to flash my pedicure...that matches my manicure, exclusively done by me! Thank you, Beccy! Say hi to Charlie for me.

Will do. X

dearest Kelly... today on my Birthday April 23... I read your poem to my hubby Roger...
and I suddenly knew what to say in my review of your Embryonic poem. I can imagine you
in your Sandel stilettoes intrigued by by the Gentleman poised for Passion. his is so Romantic.
softly, Pat

[Kelly Scheppers]

There's something about a sharp dressed man that gets me every time! Thank you, my dear friend! ...and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! xo

[The_Ancient_Rock]

huh... sexy...

And a bit erotic as well... I would say.

Forgive me... I can be very literal... or almost...

Sometimes... Great poetry!

[Kelly Scheppers]

Aww, there's nothing to forgive. I agree, it is a bit erotic in a very unorthodox way. You know, like I didn't even try to be. Lol, thank you for your visit today!

[The_Ancient_Rock]

You're welcome. My pleasure.

[Dara]

You never cease to amaze me. Every time I think you have hit your peak another master piece appears. This is simply astounding. It makes me wonder if ‘art indeed imitates life’ yours must be especially pleasing in the area of romance. ;-)

[Kelly Scheppers]

Dear Dara, thank you most kindly for that! I think I've been fortunate to hit the bullseye every now and then. ; )

[Perdition]

Over and over you do this magical spin of yours...the spearing of an olive, the subtle slow detail that gives life to what otherwise is overlooked. All poets reach for that star but you return to it again and again...it should be appreciated if not envied as "his" smile was for you. "Abbreviated stem", once more over and over you return to your own erotica and poetry, without the need for the name of poetry invoked. This is a rare thing and moment captured by a film and camera that does not exist but on your page Kelly...well poured~

[Kelly Scheppers]

This is the review that tops all reviews. It is the one I want to read when I'm old, remembering how good this life really was to me, and how the warmth of words from friends like you made it so inviting. Thank you my dear Joseph!
