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

[Lyn Anderson]

Lovely form, font, presentation, and the right dose of sentiment versus spice.

[Tony Jordan]

Thank you very much KL.
I appreciate your review...'sentiment versus spice' - love that.

[FIN]

And metaphors!

Lovely work.

I'm fascinated, by them as of now.

Great job, yet again, Mr. Jordan!

Much love,

LR

Strangely enough, I come to your profile in search of a good laugh and you never disappoint me :p
This was hot and captivating! Good work again, TJ :)

[Tony Jordan]

Aww YumnaKay you are too kind.
This is written about my unrequited love. Everyday I coat my heart with more shellac to make it hard by telling myself that its over and it was not good for either of us. Real love is not a poison is it?
Thank you my friend.
:)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Erm there I am. Being heartless again ;p
I'm sorry I do not ever get the hang of unrequited love or rather love :D the feelings just fly over my head just leaving an impression... You are welcome, Tony :)

[The dark story]

woah! Intoxicating it is.Love at times really puts us into a trance; it becomes a drink that won't ever last being sweet and enchanting. I loved this write of yours.

"for I will
never
sober of
you"

This was really a beautiful line. keep writing. :)

[Tony Jordan]

I like how you've engaged with this one Atiba. Yes like a good wine the best times are upon opening it but it can quickly be soured.
Thank you very much for reading and reviewing.
:)

[Kathryn Smith]

oh Tony...wonderful write! I'm a hopeless romantic so this got my heart thumping. Really sweet. Well done. I think you summed up that butterfly feeling.

[Tony Jordan]

Missed you K.
Hope you had a lovely break.
Are you back to work now?
Your review is encouraging because I know just how romantic a soul you are.
Thank you.
:)

I like that your reviewers have no trouble feeling comfortable enough to tell you how they feel.the explanations are great. I also like the poem, and any questions I had were answered in the comments. Truly it is about ones own interpretation but it makes me wonder ... have I ever been so wanted?consumed so readily?lol..I'm off to ask the hub...Am I your poision?🙄if not, he might be drinking with you tonite(hee hee)

[Tony Jordan]

What a brilliant review Queenie. I love it.
I hope hubby replied correctly sans thumbscrews lol.
The reviews are great on this one. Its the kind of feedback we all value and grow from.
Thank you again.
I appreciate your visits.

we don't celebrate the love of a man for a woman nearly enough ..we are usually the bad "guys" ;) i enjoyed reading this honest expression of love from a sort of bumbler ..especially enjoy "I will get tipsy;' and:
"ramble...
incessantly..."
in love with my woman this has been my own private theme song ;)

You're a true gentleman.
Happy New Year E.

[Einstein Noodle]

[DIVYA]

The concept of intoxication from the view point of love is so beautifully done by you in this poem.

[Tony Jordan]

Intoxicated by love. It's the most wonderful form of giddiness I have ever experienced.
I count myself so so lucky to have at least tasted from this cup which seemed to be beyond my grasp for so long DIVYA.
I wish that all could experience the feeling at least once. It truly makes us better people in my opinion.
Thank you once again DIVYA.
(((Hugs)))

[Jddcbjiuh]

Really like this one. Lovely in the sense a person's love is 'drink' that never gets us out of it's effects and that we linger over it evermore. I can relate to this in a way, very well done.

[Tony Jordan]

Thanks Nini. It's caused a stir this one within the WC which is always a good thing.
I'm glad you could relate.

[Lydia Shutter]

Such a potent potable...desire. Your words are ultra romantic and seductive. I liked it. Lydi**

[Tony Jordan]

Wow Lydia - coming from you that's a truly encouraging review.
Your skill in this realm precedes you.
Thank you so much!
