he was half gentleman, not beast
an ever charming sentinel
marked by his military bearing
she found him to have an awake mind
full of blue-eyed soul
relentlessly dry sense of humor
she was sanguine in his presence
reminiscent of aromatic cedar

a classic combination for deliciousness
riding the Darjeeling Express
they chose to
surrender to decay
and dedicate themselves
to the in-house consumption
of a red blended from a variety of small-format oak barrels
and each other
