Scotch – you flow past my lips like a triumphant army returning home
You are powerful, full of life, seasoned from the experiences you have had
You are vibrant with spices, released uninhibited upon the World
You are the dawn and the dusk and the happy moments made in between
You are depth of meaning, secretive thoughts, unbridled joy
You are the long hug goodbye and the warm embrace hello
You are the earthy essence that makes the soul soar
You are the stars of the Gods and the most passionate aspirations of every man’s dreams
An ocean of you could be consumed and still leave the spirit wanting more
And yet……
In a particular moment, a mere drop is enough
A drop so intense, it shames that same ocean away into a distant horizon
A moment when the universe lays itself bare before me
That moment when I lift the faintest taste of you from the lips of a lovely lass
With my own……..
