Rain fell to the sound of jazz.
She studied his ritual
as he poured the wine.
He was a true connoisseur,
talented in taste and technique.
Jewel toned liquid
reflected in his gaze
as it swirled with the
motion of his hand.
He took note of how
ruby rivulets
streamed down
the sides of the vessel.
His eyes closed inhaling
aromas of citrus and oak,
made fine by
patience and time.
Lips opened to crystal glass,
allowing the heady tide to rush in.
Subtle notes of buttery berries
and peppery spice
seduced his palate,
lingering on his lips
before warming him inside.
She,
bathed in candles� amber light,
stirred in him curious cravings,
whetted a more intimate appetite.

Crossed legs uncorked
with slow dances and romance.
She intoxicated all six senses,
sensed where he was empty
and poured herself inside.
He inhaled a feminine bouquet
of jasmine and vanilla spice,
detected notes of
distilled desire mingled with
the sweat of her excitement.
Ethereal streams of moonlight
glistened like slippery strands
of spun silk upon his fingertips.
The full-bodied fruits of her vine
flowed from folds of pink grapefruit flesh.
He drank her in slow sips,
tasted with serpentine strokes of tongue,
discerned her vintage with languid licks,
savoring the eventuality of her surrender.
She was the sound of primal waters
emptied into breathy sighs,
echoes overflowing
the banks of her thighs.
Carnal liqueur spilled
with the motion of her hips,
dripped from his sated lips.
She served him
elemental wine
at body temperature,
dissolved him
in her heat,
as rain fell
to the sound of
her lover�s thirst
being quenched.
