The cold caressed you

A bitter fate

Seasons passed

And you remain

Slowly, steady, yet uncertain

Until vines crept


The morning dew invited you

To bear your sweetness

To seek your royalty

It took a tender hand

To let you grow

It took you time

But your bunch flourished


Decades passed since then

A familiar scent

Engulfed me


I poured you down

And held you against me

Amorous incense lingers

Yet bittersweet upon my lips

You aged like fine wine

And now I'm sober again
