A Sonnet
Wine, Women and Longing
by Marillion
My love for you is best expressed in print Because my lips forbid I speak it thus— And so I bleed my heart in ink to hint That I would change the you and I to us. My love for you is simply complicated, Much like a cask of wine imbibed all night— Adept at getting one inebriated Until the blinding shafts of morning light. But when consumed with care, it’s rich and deep, Exotically erotic — purely pure— A taste well-placed, and one to always keep Within my reach, so that it may endure. If you’ll become the wine I take in sips, Then pour yourself — I’ll raise you to my lips. |

I promised Dawn of Tomorrow a love sonnet after losing a bet to her, and she's waited patiently for it...so here it is. Thanks for reading!
