Rosewine waltz

By: Reesu Shrestha

Enticingly withering wine, With who shall I spend this night's youth? Another night alone with you? Your enticing scent, alluring words You have my mind in a chokehold. Cold slender fingers warm my nape.

Down the first glass past evening, The night's so young there's fresh breeze in. Gray cloudy sky, dry dew cleansed eyes. Rose heads marinated in wine, Dimly lit house stood against time. You held a firm grasp on my voice.

Down goes the second glass past eve. As if I've been hung on a tree. Your words string in a melody, My head's blurry, spinning vision. Fierce jab to your side, torn thin thread. You shook your head and laughed instead.

Up goes glass two vomited through. Feathered frantice battered breathing, Mind's blanking, I feel like sleeping. With the last of my energy, I crawl out of the rose thorn’s grasp, Only for it to wedge in deep.

Down out on the ground for glass three Body lims I can't feel a thing, You're approaching, I can hear you. Your footsteps echoing throughout, System's out, candle light's cold, Cradling my fainted body.

Up awake for glass number four. Back at square one, this is far gone. Your gentle grasp around my neck, Sipping tantalizing rose wine. Metallic, maroon, dancing on The tip of my tongue, ballroom style.

Kill me by glass five. I would rather die, Than to sip your wine, Metallic rose wine. Once Danse Macabre. Violin solo, That's what your voice is. Dance my bleeding corpse Your soul's bound to me, Gracious destiny… Care for another glass my lady?

Rippling rosewine in glass

Swirl and twirl, lush maroon, You glow as though the moon. Trapped with you, this ballroom, Ninth round of wine for two.

Swirl and twirl, lush maroon, Thin rim glasses for two, Liquor swirling for two, Red wine filled this glass room.

Swirl and twirl, lush maroon, Rose petals all for you, Strung all over the room, To prove my love for you.

Swirl and twirl, lush maroon, Dance your soul in this room, Lit by the light of moon, My darling, all for you.

Swirl and twirl, lush maroon, Thinly silver glass room, Dancing under the moon, Dancing in bliss with you.

Swirl and twirl, lush maroon, Oh my dear, I'm no fool. Playing games, aren't you? But still I'll adore you.

Swirl and twirl, lush maroon, Seeing you makes me swoon, Please use me like a tool, Don't treat me like your stool.

Swirl and twirl, lush maroon, Like a flower in bloom, All alone in this room, You will be my dreamt doom.

Swirl and twirl, lush maroon, Clueless that I love you, Together in this room, And all I can do is look at you.
