New Lover Drunk

By Christopher J. Jarmick



Yes, be drunk like brand new lovers

gulping too quickly on fiery passions

until exhausted.



Lie satiated with great big goofy grins

enjoying the sun, the clouds

laughing at the rain

and how time keeps moving.



Never forget this ecstacy but be a conoisseur,

so you will never settle

for any less kind of drunkness

then this one, borne of love and passion.



Bask in your good feelings

but get up and take a long walk

Pass on this satisfaction

the smile, your elation

to everyone you meet.
