strong as wine

Deeply I drank of your wine dark eyes 
'til found the drug you'd spiked
in the dregs.

I noticed the taste 
and knew what it was,
but I always trusted
my poisoner's wiles. 
As the woozy gauze  
grew legs, swept me
off, gaining traction
in me, and the slur crept
into my honeyed tongue, 
the dark dilated beyond
my gaze, and
I guessed it 
was probably
just the wine

the remembered
that we'd 
had none.
