    GLASS OF MERLOT

    Merlot

    Decisions are oh, so difficult

    at moments like this

    a relationship

    becoming an attachment

    becoming a friendship

    becoming mere aquaintances

    with the blush of a forgotten kiss

    Love is an antiquated relic

    we can't hope to sell it

    so we hold on to it as a memento

    of yesterdays lost

    the cost?

    maybe a lifetime for all we know

     

    What do we gain

    at moments like this

    when our destiny and fortune is tossed

    into a future unsecured

    when love becomes a chore

    to be completed

    wanted not needed

    begging not pleading

    when greetings

    devolve

    and becomes a weakening

    of our resolve

    so many questions surrouding you and I

    I just don't know

    I don't know

    maybe the answers can be found

    in this glass of merlot

    or

    do you prefer moscato?

     

    Giving up is oh, so easy

    at times like this

    seems our tears refuse to dry

    everytime we ask why

    walking into rooms marked do not enter

    maybe that is a cruse for lovers

    in the winter

    of a romance

    that began with a dance

    and a chance

    encounter

    in the spring of love in bloom

    saying I love you

    much too soon

    with nothing to build upon

    selecting our favorite wines

    as we dine

    in our solitutude

    distant

    yet not rude

     

    Only the hissing of summer lawns

    as our symphony

    our shared doubt

    an entity

    that cannot be erased

    with the taste

    of grapes

    upon our lips

    as we slip

    into a nether world

    remembering nights spent thinking  the full moon

    was our precious pearl

    as we lay curled

    in a fetal position

    now, what have we truly secured?

    I sit and cogitate on this and various questions of love

    as my wine is poured

    what is the question of love?

    I just don't know

    I don't know

    maybe I will discover

    a lost lover

    when I finish this glass of merlot

    or

    do you prefer moscato?
