Intoxicating Expression



Like smooth salty notes of Gouda
and an oaky buttery Chardonnay  
Your grammatical mastery of words
compliments as they convey

Relayed with a silky smoothness
deep within you voice
Our energy’s merged and mingled,
lost I had no choice

Your words a rare combination
yet together hold such force
Impacting my sweet smooth softness,
 with intensity of course

Intoxicating the listener,
providing a stimulating effect
While captivating their emotions,
 intriguing yet so direct

Taking them under the influence,
 enjoying the tequila sunrise
Flowing with a Grey Goose vibe,
 as our distilled words fly

Like aged smokey caramel whiskey,
 our words taste refined
Together we just get better
throughout endless time
