You're my poison

- 'What's your poison?'

Oh darling, 

please

decant me

a chalice 

of 

you...

I will 

inhale

your heady

aroma

and 

sip from it 

for 

all

 my days.

I will giggle

like a teen

on bubbles

that tingle

my 

blood.

I will get tipsy;

ramble...

incessantly...

of how utterly

captivating

you are.

I will get drunk

on the brew

of your love

and 

never be

hung-over

~

for I will 

never 

sober of 

you

stop trying to get me into romance, gotta keep the manly hermit act! i can't resist the lyrical beauty of unwavering passion like this!

(i once, long time ago, wrote something named "sinful summer club", i dont know why but this combined with the color red reminds me of it)

[Tony Jordan]

Your edifices are crumbling from those tumbling and squelching cow carcasses Winter.
You'll be a quivering romantic again if you aren't careful.

I like autobiographical sound of 'Sinful Summer Club' - heh heh

[boygene borice]

I lacked a better word for this.
Splendid

[Farah Husain]

Oh I love this one. Reminds me so much of an alcoholic friend I am struggling to walk away from. Strong writing thank you for your thoughts.

[Octavia]

Adorable and bubbly little glass of poetry. I could get tipsy just reading it I think!

[Fanicia E.]

I absolutely love this! You can really feel the heat and passion, and this poem captivated me as much as you're captivated by the poem's subject. Amazing work!

[Tony Jordan]

A captivation that became an infatuation then an addiction...such a slippery slope...
Thank you for your kind review Fanicia E !!
:)

[Fanicia E.]

You're welcome!

[mercy party]

you are a high-functioning romantic. you are able to write edgy and bubbly at the same. "sober of you" wish i thought of that. cool again man!

[Tony Jordan]

I'm sorry I missed this review M.P.
High-functioning romantic - I love that phrase you've coined. I can drop into the mush too but it really takes such an effort to get back out of it.
Thank you very much M.P.
:)

[mercy party]

no worries man! last time i was in the mush i escaped clean but i had to leave my shoes!

[Tony Jordan]

Haha - hmm... I have some shoes that I wouldn't mind losing but there are two pair that I would hate to lose - even to love - lol.

Flavour! Perfect form... nice pour Tony. Puppy/new love can certainly be intoxicating. Careful the wine may spoil ;) enjoyable piece. R xo

[Papaya]

I like this, it's fun and romantic. New love feels this way. I enjoyed some of your phrasing too. Ramble incessantly... That made me smile.

Beautiful TJ, the form is thoughtful too really works...fragrant words, perfect metaphor. I enjoyed this. Starz x
