Vineyard of Emotion

by Dana Van Wie

Rows of gnarled vines.

Cordon arms reach.

A rich, whispering canopy.

Clustered jewel orbs.

Amethyst and peridot.

Sensuous nectar globes.

Entwined, entangled, confuse, confound

Cascading droplets.

Opals and diamonds.

Welling deep hurt.

Acrid cloak engulfs.

Sharp intense stabs.

Hurtful sting of words.
