The Winemaker [spoken word]
The vines have prevailed dry blistering frosts
and ripened fruit, fraught with sleepless nights
of looming rain, threatening fungal bloom.
Pulped forbidden fruit from caressing groves
plucked tender harvest of my pressing soul
encapsulated sensations fulfil my glass heart.
This offering, my essence bottled in lead crystal
spells unbound with the romantic rite of cork
unleashing the flow from my jugular jinni.
In velvet plume I bleed and I am blissfully absolved
outpouring into the sacred chalice with gentle kiss
of fragile mouths gulping air in pulsating chant.
Hands held precious flow swirled for an eternity
arousing scent of passion with every breath
and taste… the blood of life from lush tannin lips.

I don't get the vibe of this connecting to winemaking, but I.am no winemaker and am hardly a wine drinker.
BUT, the vibe is complete and resolved. I def dig your production, audibly, visibly, and combined.
Fine follow through on the vision, and just making it happeness...enjoyed, kudos AC

I pretty much drink anything at any level of intoxication and along this road of alcoholism I've met a lot of brewers, distillers and winemakers, and I have to say, pound for pound the winemakers are the most passionate lover of their craft.
Cheers lightbaron for dropping by and thanks for digging it and for the kudos.

Good intro with the winemaker spending sleepless nights worrying about fungus if the rain hit upon his ripened grapes without him harvesting it first.
Nice video of the vineyard in black and white just like vintage wine, which tastes richer as it gets older complemented with your full audible voice. Well done Alexander!
Love these lines:

Cheers for picking up on woes of winemaking in the first few lines, something not a lot of people consider when they crack open a bottle that, much like finding love, winemaking is very much a gamble. [My guess, you being mechanically minded, you'd appreciate how these things work].
Thanks, EngrVV, for dropping by and appreciating these words and the video.

Some vivid vinaceous verse! Awesome video, perfect feel and flow to it, (it's of a good professionalism that it deserves to get 10,000 views, to the level of having ads popping up! - well, maybe no ads, we all hate those!).

Cheers jIMNUT, thanks for the great feedback. It's too bad I'm making poetry videos, if I had a clue how this world of pop media worked, I'd be making cat falls out a window prank videos, purely for entertainment.

Cheers JR, I appreciate you taking the time to check out the video and for your great feedback and I'm stoked you added it to your reading list.
For my music I use the latest version of GarageBand, which has a drummer track that has builtin virtual session drummers in the software that produces drum tracks that play along to your music arrangement. It has loads of options so you can custom make your beats to the sound you're trying to achieve. It's a pretty cool feature and I've been giving it a flogging on my latest vids. Here's a link to a demo to give you an idea how it works.

Know am v.late to the party, but of late am discovering ur classsics that's an experience as i drown in your words each time.
This is a flawless piece that i cud in no way offer anything constructive, but rather adore ur sensually juxtaposed poetics of this passionate wine made.
The past tense chosen is v.thoughtful, gives a crispy finished touch all over. The v.first stanza stands out from the other fours in a way, its an opening n setting you had given in a difference, the survival game that fifully follows the dance. S1 to me sounds more agronomical, being an agri grad.well juz me here, but enjoyed the reality in there.
And, the spoken word with scores n pics, juz a treat. You need to be in production biz seriously, n hope u ll make it:)
A gem in my readlist, tq fr inspirations as evr.

Ok, I have read of this piece before & could not properly figure out a measurable comment. So, this is the day I will own up to my speechlessness, how beautiful & piercing every time when coming to your dwelling.. Love deeply.
