Neil Diamond II, Doused By Wine

you're palate cleansing
a taste like nicotine leaving a salty confession
I know better not to make
as a sailor with an attitude
quiet yet guarding watching out for my surroundings
humble but stalking so my intentions remain hushed
love songs don't become of me much
but in due time find me to be
your elegant man of war
humming your tune while you collapse into me
making love until the earliest hours
if I tell you a tale
about an island in the northeast
where vino runs like water
and lust is federally funded
will you promise to max out your credit cards
allowing me to make all your dreams come true
in the moonlight
sand scrunching beneath our bare feet betwixt toes
we'll dance along to all the big bands
in your red flowery sundress
sleeveless and almost seethrough
almost like me
only not as easy to pull off
we'll catch a cruise back
and you can tell your friends
about the way we moved and the passion
the screams of joy and the nights in heaven
my barroom dream
and you can tell your friends
about the best times you ever had
how they never wanted to end
or how I'll never meet up with you again
