One Bottle Worth a Thousand Words

You are the reason

I paint with words

Palette of delicacies,

divine

Pouring the life

into landscape’s verse

Staining pearl-white

with blackberry wine

Visions of rhythm

in eyes of myrrh

Tasting sugar, sweet,

rhymed with salt

Sating my soul,

sipping milk of mirth

Ferment’ language’s

syrup ’til malt
