he dances a kind of genius
against white walls;
all prim and branched out
the fireplace, calm as the setting sun,
carries me
to
him
fingers sweep each other
collecting dead skin and dialogue
we giggle like short-lived kids
playing with drugs
his smile vintage, lips dry as cocoa mix
now moist as dew kissed grass
the table acquaints us
panties wilt to the obese rug...
among spilled wine and cradled glass

 Some minor edits, if you can even notice. Daily DeviationGiven 2009-01-26It is very easy to become swept away by spilled wine by *IAmPoetry. As the suggester notes 'this poem is very sensual and poignant and includes very warm imagery. However, the end of the poem leaves plenty to the imagination and just asks for the poem to be read and enjoyed again,' and again - and I will certainly agree!
