Red Red Wine

I kissed my friend's red ruby lip
and vowed we'd never part,
and stroked her neck and took a sip
to warm my cold, cold heart.
 
I caressed her shoulder all dewy eyed
as on her lip I kiss and kiss,
her smoothness soothed me nigh to cry
such sweetness I had long, long missed.
 
I'd loved her from my very first
when her spirit suffused through me
such pleasure I thought I would burst
and for a time she set me free...
 
She was gone during that short dark night
when I woke I cursed her near to dead,
with throbbing head and bleary sight
to find her lying emptiness, by my bed.
