Drinking Games

Drinking Games

A Poem by John Alexander McFadyen
"

When the bee cannot resist the nectar

"

Drinking Games

Once

I hung among the stars,

drifting on a dreamscape

amid that cosy,

fluffed-up black blanket

of night,

where angels cavort

and hope is served

in copious cups of

dark sweet coffee nectar.

I floated there

in the warm mother's milk

of amniotic, life-giving

waters.

Across a universe

of suns

I drank you in,

savoured every drop

that I managed to squeeze

from stony

barren breasts.

You guarded your mysteries

so well,

internet firewalls

your stave.

But my desire was not slaked

that liquor, saline spiked

made me thirst

all the more,

but still I would sip

each drop

and more.

Diluting the swally should be a capital offence my friend !! There's no hell like offering the goods then coming up short.

Thank you so much Josie
Love and relationships set their own course, and sometimes never the twain shall meet...highly dramatic poetic rant here. Eloquent, classic language. Ethereal, maternal, wrathful, sensual, demeaning, unrequited tones waft through it all. Dark, self-destructive references. My advice would be to move on rather than torture self/others. Life is there for the living and time is so precious. Powerful write John!
