My Love is Like a Fine, Fine Wine

 

She once lost a grape inside

And in her, it turned to sweet nectar

 

He had kisses sweeter than wine

 

My full bodied zesty rustic supple vintage

is a fertile hotbed for your protruding lip

of wild current plum shadings.

No wild cherry berry fig spiced

rasiona-non-grappa,

my bouquet is a buttery, jammy  

chewy flavor profile

(though tremendously complex and can be quite pleasing)

when mixed with your cloying coarse ultra-ripe earthy elegance

fading to a big fat finish.

 

So taste my grenache a noche, a niche capiche

Tonight, it’s qué syrah petite shiraz petite verdot

merlot bordeaux.

Oh zinfandel, ma belle, bellisimo!

Liquor couture, (més trois amour),  

no reisling, weis wine, vice wine, ice wine

muscat whose got, i got vinho verde, merde!

 

So, give way to my sweet bay of muscadet

 

which doesn’t hold a grape to

 

yesterday’s mellow brunello, valpolicello

monte hoochie koochie pulciano

 

 

                            (with a stemmy, stalky structure.

                                                                  all toasty and velvety -- )

 

For near or far, it’s pinot noir

pardon eh, today, it’s chardonnay

Don’t put on airs for viognier, my oneir

My only heir --  

 

’cause you ain’t no port in the storm

and i ain’t no tick-tockin’ schicker

you ain’t no palm-wine drinkard

and i ain’t no wine dark sea

you ain’t no free flowin’ pinot gris

and i ain’t no inky late-harvest sub-region of highly

variable microclimates.

 

Don’t taunt me, it’s chianti

an aphrodisio grigio; no malic malbec, fall back

fumé blanc swank, frankly,

at dawn, it’s sauvignon papillon

 

sangiovese oy vey, see

you will go crazy

 

So, toast: a taste with jammy notes

 

And bring it back to…

all that is firm and chewy  

with a meaty messy nose.

Heard within grapeshot

                                                                                  

just stomp on

my face, peel

off my skin

and g(rape me…
