for a time
i was your wine
at first young and fresh
and abundantly available
you wanted a dozen
of this quirky Lambrusco
and I was delivered to your door
but I wasn’t to your taste
you swilled me in your mouth
spun to glass rim
with subtle berry aroma
abounding
and I
stained your carpet
later…
bottles forgotten in attic dark
a seal cracked
from sentimental midnight lark
and in this first shadowed sip
a heavenly balsamic lust did spark
drizzled
and lingering
what powerful imagery!

You’ve taken a obvious analogy and turned it into a poem that is compelling and clever. This piece has a completely different feel to your usual style Diana, more simple and accessible though no less accomplished or enjoyable, just different. And that is a good thing . Hugely enjoyable read, with a bouquet of humour and not forgetting ‘lust in the loft’ ! (still when lust strikes it doesn’t take into account one’s location)
