Love Poem: Wanting Some Nothing

Wanting Some Nothing

Wasn't meant to be mine...
Or yours, or his
There was none to give

Foolishly longing for what I'd never...
you'd never... we would never be
How so vibrant yet empty?
 Compassionate, heartless, evil angel
A lovely contradiction...so beautifully vile
  Charismatic killjoy, a selfish philanthropist

A gripping lesson in bittersweet taste test...
 This vintage is superb...a velvet mouth feel
Supple body...long legs...sweet kurant and spice on the front
  But then tannins tartly dry the tongue
Robbing moisture with overpowering acidity
  Dropping my glass, cursing the Vintner...

That I knew and wanted, leaves me a fool
Masochisticly chasing a trail of footprints
  ...Dissipating as the tide washed away any trace
She walked backwards inviting with a curled finger
   wicked smile daring my passion,
                            tempting my attraction

I knew this game, vaguely familiar
 Couldn't place the relevance in my memory
And still I followed....as my footprints vanished behind me
With that girl following them hurt and confused...
