As day flows,
and the night screams
I fill an empty problem

the bottle freshly opened
and my glass
filled to the rim

I begin to drown

the Host,
bottoms down

When Life starts
tearing apart
and Fate begins to tease me

the bottle is just half full
and my glass
runs on empty

just another bout

for most,
bottoms out

But then comes
time in my heart
when I must bury the pull

the bottle is half empty
and my glass
only half full

now my loving cup

a toast ...
bottoms up!

Fear is a blindness, heart is the cure. - C. Belville 02

Thank you Meg.

      Wine? Liquor? Beer?
        Name your poison!

              If I can't have one with ya,
                  I can surely have one for ya!!
