Mary, warm your stone soul
Through the glass pours morning light
We’re in our prime, and you’re a star
You are my drink, my recipe, my cure
My unrivaled artist’s flower
Let's be on holiday, you and I
Let’s have champagne and cocktails at the club tonight
Warm our souls and
Shake things up
Get back in the mix
Have our fill
Kick off the temporary properties of poor weather
Break the bubbles
Be bloody beautiful, delicious and aromatic
Slip into the silky water
That pours passion’s sunrise over Venice
Let’s put on the Ritz
Brunch like we’re in Paris
Spoon coffee over cold ice cream
Drink whiskey like celebrities
You are the only ingredient I'll ever need

Wonderful piece. Sounds like a good day.
I love this Christy!! It's so sensorily packed with beautiful descriptive language that makes me daydream of my favourite things to drink on vacation/ in my back yard/ anywhere really!! But I love that ending line because it implies that the best drinks are had with the best company... so beautiful and heart warming!! 💚
Some wonderfully tasty descriptions here
"Spoon coffee over cold ice cream" I love this line the most because it implies that there is hot ice cream hahahahahaha. Sorry I couldn't help myself 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Loved your poem so much!
Ah Mary, Bloody Mary. The one cocktail that is sort of good for you. Pure magic, Christy. Even when you write about alcohol supervised relaxation.
Love it!
Definitely the best vibe! Loved it, well done! :)
