A lilt, a tinkle

A heady zing

Ringing in the laughter

Coursing through

My veins

Like a bubbling champagne

The wine twinkles

Alive in my eyes

Like diamonds in candlelight

Each pore awakens,

Oozing sleepy giddiness

Making me drunk

Simply because

I wrote your name

On a paper plain

And felt its touch

Reach out and brush

My soul, releasing my pain…
