Here I grin,
soaked in
sunrise
tequila and
when,
laugh
of lemon
last kiss
of salt
a swallow
of flames
chaser,
of fault.

One more
shot
of fire
and ice
come on
damnit man
don‘t think
twice
make it
a triple
of melted
truth
my sins
already
have slain
my youth.

Stolen
breath
in this
ocean
of air,
drowning in
this
unseen
snare
hidden hands
upon
my throat
tears
of blood
upon,
the note.

The world,
is getting
light of bone
my cents
of worth
is now
alone
the day
is dark
my vision
poor
like a cave
without,
a door.

Precious
moments
wasted
hope
one more
mountain
slippery
slope
dying
of
living,
tired of
trying
no more
tears,
my heart
is drying.

Wicked world
her soul
brunette
she’s my
lover
no regret
she took me
for
a ride
miss giving
sucked
out
every dream
worth
living.

I don’t know
If I
should
exhale
cup
half empty
holy
grail
I would
draw
another breath
but my
pennance,
wrote my
death.

My words
like water
fall
like pain
twist like
lie
and pulse
like
vein
falling through
the
fangs
of hollow
one last
gasp
my life,
is swallowed.

Amid the turmoil and tumultuous, there is serenity here.
Make mine a double, I'd like to drown in the
glory of Life.

It's such a shame that Miss Giving ended up being your misgiving by sucking your dreams dry.
Have another tequila! It's on me! Ole!

Richard - I've no doubt the write emanated from just a moment and we all know that moments pass quickly and that you'll soon be back to the lovely romantic poetry that is you. It is you. This write isn't and I know you know it. But, okay, it was a good and captivating write nevertheless.
