I can see why this poem won the contest. The passion of this poem smoked the computer screen! The repeating line accentuated the rhythm and the piece spoke of a forbidden love to me. Congratulations!

To whomever--
I like the"cherry wine refrain," and what it means and what it means in terms of memory.

This is a last nice stanza:

Our love was never, sanity prevails
Desire to taste her sweet cherry wine
Still echoes in my memory jail
Slowing aging in my soul

I'm not quite sure what "sanity" has to do with it. But, as long as it slows the aging of your soul I'm not complaining.

Best

    Thanks for the read and the review. Sanity means the author never did taste those cherry lips because she was too young.

my memory jail ... a great phrase. It speaks of endless passionate remembrances that remain prisoner forever in the writer's mind.

Deep, yearning passion.

Repeated 'cherry wine' refrain is an effective tool.

Best wishes for the contest.

Your poem is certainly romantic, I like how you used the picture only showing the lips. Good rhyming scheme and repeating the last line in 4 of the stanzas works well and I loved 'memory jail'. Enjoyed. MaggieF
