L'Angoisse

Anguish

I have tasted the wine of wanting

found it insipid, jejune

leaving longing on the palate.

 

I have drunk the wine of desire

it scorches the throat, sears the soul

burns to ash the heart.

 

I have sipped the bitter wine

of jealousy, it leaves

the sour taste of vinegar on the tongue.

 

I have drunk to the dregs

Vin d' Amour, stumbled blind in a

lovelorn stupor into the ditch of despair.

 

I have cursed thee and blessed thee

cherished and despised thee

God help me! I will forever love thee.

I like the idea of using wine in this. Sometimes you can drink your fill of something and still not be satidfied.

This is very nice. I like the whole concept of the poem, and I like te way you put it together. This poem is one of my favorites.

Oh my this leaves the taste of the sweetest wine on the breath.. The feelings of passion, heartbreak, desire, so many emotions can be felt in this piece, and blend it all together to make a poe that touches the sences and drives them wild..

What a wonder of a write!
