What does love taste like?
It’s like the finest wine, and lingers with you for ever more
What does love taste like?
Love is like wine, it makes you dizzy,
A breathless swirl, a pulse gone hazy.
It whispers soft, then pulls so tight,
A heavy heart in the quiet night.
It stains the lips, but not the soul,
A fleeting rush, a quiet toll.
A thirst that comes and slips away,
Like shadows at the end of day.
It burns, then cools, a shifting heat,
An empty glass, a heart’s retreat.
It lingers close, then slips from sight,
Like stars that fade with the morning light.
Love is like wine, both bitter and sweet,
A dance of silence, a rhythm of defeat.
But in its wake, there’s something more,
A taste that lingers, forever more.

Affection and Healing for Yourself
During the night of the last quarter moon, I gathered my ritual supplies. I carefully handled the chunk of black tourmaline that would protect me from your overall negative and narcissistic energy. I carefully walked the house with my stick of selenite in hand, asking the universe to cleanse our working space.

Could this be the wine of life? The sweet, sour and bitter yet hearty taste of living.
Wow, what a fascinating poem about the finest wine. Well written.
