Tequila Mockingbird Rainglow

Slow pressed... sigh's blissed...

Sunlife
sweat beads blister
crushed  ice  glinting
in rainglow
crisp  air  steams
highball  glass
low  ceilings
down  two  ounces
blue  agave  tequila
Aztec  dreams
Guadalajara  desert 
sweet  crème  de  menthe
corsican  colorless  white
sweet  flirtation
lime - scented  lips
slow  pressed 
sighing  blissed 
fingers  dripping
lingering  soft  soda
quiver  and  quake
slow  deliberate 
replay ecstasy 
swallow…

Author's Note

I have been instrumental in banning bottled water on the set. It hasn't gone that well with the crew... so I replaced it with tequila. - Hugh Laurie

for me this is a full house of imagery, like I am mixing some many emotions all in one poem. It's very creative and smooth-flowing. Very nice my friend.

Cheers Craig, just the warmth I needed to brighten up my day. Nice ending....

...and love that you included House, he's a riot. ;-)

Oh, I'll be drinking to you soon, sweet Frieda! Been a long rough week, and need to get warmed every which way... just sayin! lol... Sweet dreams always. Must see if House is on Netflix! :)

[Frieda P]

Sounds good to me....what's the specialty of the house? Always a pleasure Craig. :-)

[An owl on the moon]

Why, Tequila Mockingbird, of course! And all the fixins... :)

[Frieda P]

I swore off Tequila after last time, but what the heck! ha.... ;-)

[An owl on the moon]

What could a couple do? Yeah... just do it! :D

[David Scott]

This is like a flash of thought captured and peeled open to explore the parts. Like an autopsy of a feeling.
You never get too predictable Craig. I like how you keep your work fresh and explore styles.

[An owl on the moon]

I always appreciate your kind words that lift the soul, David. Thank you!

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

tingling on my lips, aromatic to my palate, slow burn gliding down my throat...great sensations for warming up while we walk into the white winters. I always hear music when I come here...even when I am not listening to you killer music taste from your profile. There is something so familiar ....but i just cant put my thoughts to it....i am sure it will come in time. :) Thanks for the Tequila tea!

[An owl on the moon]

And you.. you always bring endless blessings of peace wherever you go... so may the music ever lift you on wings of angels, my dear friend. Drink up and be merry... :)

[Lydia Shutter]

A potent poem! The short lines made it very sensual...in an urgent sort of way. Tequila instead of water you say? Well, everyone should be mellow if nothing else! Godo write. Lydi**

[An owl on the moon]

Thanks so much, Lydia! Hope you're having a mellow, marvelous day wherever you are. :)
