To Dine On Love

Rating: 5.0


we dine at times
in orchid splendor
with pheasant under glass
fine china
lace
a rare aged wine
and whisper in candlelight

we dine at times
on dandelion picnics
an indian blanket on the grass
radio crooning love songs
to beer and paper plates
playing ‘loves me-loves me not’ in the stars

we dine at last and after either
in blood-red roses style
the props are gone
not needed now
we feast upon each other
till sleep excuses us from the table

I love all three stanzas. Do I have to pick one? I take the fifth! Great descriptions. Raynette

Very beautiful and romantic but I always ask people to not eat life. All life is for living, pheasants, too.
