Drinking from crystal
Drinking from crystal makes you happy
you feel it as soon as the glass touches your lips
making your mouth widen into a grin.
Immediately you feel happy as the contents
swirl around your mouth and your tongue
cleaves to your palette.
Spirits had teased you into submission
long before it could flavour your tonsils.
Your fingers had caressed the curves,
each diamond cut that sparkles.
You want this to last forever
and your cup always to overfow.
