Two Islands
we are two islands in a red sea
drifting in circles, in the glow of the sun
drunk on some potion – call it love, or lust
I prefer to see the Universe arranging us to order
swirling in some galactic wine glass
my lipstick on your rim
your fingers on my stem
they said it wouldn’t last

Nice work ID - the imagery is fantastic.

Mmm...Love in a wineglass...
This words you chose even taste like wine!
"my lipstick on your rim
your fingers on my stem"
something erotic about those phrases. I liked this very much.
Oh dear! This is hot!
Beautifully done.
clever and charming, a vixen of a poem. and the photograph works so well: slightly decadent, it invites you to investigate further.
cheers to you!

If you can't love a wine glass (in this manner) what can you love..? Beautifully done.
Good lord I love this ...
"my lipstick on your rim
your fingers on my stem"
I'll never look at a wine glass the same way ... Beautiful!!
"my lipstick on your rim/ your fingers on my stem."
I LOVE the imagery here - it's so graceful and beautiful. The whole poem is incredible.
P.S. Thanks for your comment on my post! Now I have a new book series (Marcus Didius Falco) to check out :)
How could it not last, if sipped slowly?
Loved the ending, nice drawing in then connection, all pieces falling into place.
well rounded ! I like full circles-normally I am much more positive than I was today. thanks for posting and visiting!
Oh, this is lovely, and so very touching.
This was intense....yup, that's the word....yikes.
Quite a erotic post. Well done.

I had to gasp when I read your sensual poem..lovely..I used several similar words to yours..quite a coincidence..love when that happens!
Absolutely brilliant.
Wow.. galactic wine glass.. lovely :)
Thanks for stopping by my Magpie.

Ooh, this is sexy! Love, lust...sometimes, there's no difference.
Beautiful rendition of the visible and not invisible.
This is lovely - a true communion of souls - or bodies!

Very well done!
Erotic, sensual n realistic!!
Very well composed- words chosen to perfection!

Sounds to me like this could last a lifetime ...
So imaginative and creative! I love the image of the universe causing two islands to drift in circles in a red sea. The narrator then steps back a bit and sees the wine glass for what it is--closer now, connection... Smart and sexy, Isabel!
Nice poem, seeing romance is a glass of wine! And wine I guess always had some connection to romance.
great imagery - 'my lipstick on your fim/your fingers on my stem'
Absolutely, delicious...
Thank you for all the appreciative comments. I think I have revealed myself as the hopeless romantic I am. And yes - so far - the happy ending ...
I'm in awe. You really hit this out of the ballpark! Just such a wonderful use of the images in the photo. Very seductive...
I'm all for galactic wineglasses...
Good lead-up, great wrap-up line (given what precedes it).
WOW! fantastic! the picture put to such eloquent use! Admirable!
