Don't Drink The Sangria...

By LiP Stiches

 Sultry winds lift this white linen dress
Two hidden roses bloom under the skin
Sand tumbles over weathered feet
Stormy lust stirs in the blueness

She loves you...

Whispers of seduction redden the lips
Lush pieces of fruit tempt the soul
You cant help but lick your chops
Will she taste the way she looks?

"Kiss me"...

Hints of fermented fruit linger from dinner
Motions of the mouth, softer than silk
Eyes race to draw a picture of how you feel
Your hands scream her name

You want her...

Chocolate locks wrap around you
Sea salt clings to your sweat
A fire begins to engulf reason
Her gasps turn to moans

She is yours...

While you search into the depths of her eyes
She reaches in and cools the flame
A sense of peace washes over you
Time has stopped and a smile appears

She owns you....

The moon grins on the mist that has formed
Soft lapping waves tickle your toes
As the haze clears the smirking stars giggle
Sweet sangria courses through your veins

Only a dream...

    ha, curious how the author's intent and the readers viewing can run such different courses.... this, to me, was such an personal irony, an abandoned dream slapping me in the face. thank you... umm maybe. wonderfully versed none the less. ~b
