Drink

What has become of

waylaid thoughts,

sought to persuade

but leaving none to reason?

What do we seek among 

unprocessed unwanted emotion,

so sorely,and fervently fought?

A dramatic revival, 

for a worthless with-drawl.

What truly need be evoked

between midnight and morn?

Is it melodious memory sparks,

whole heatedly nullified?

What of the psychotic takeovers

which encompass our pleasures?

 unaided nerves replenishing our soul's content;

for one moments compulsive

 disorientation.

A personality

skewed through

a crystal haze. 

Which blindingly breaks upon

the unrequited morn 

proving nothing, had become

of the twilight before.

What brings rejoice to

worthless word entreated tales,

that stain blank velvet 

upon an angelic dream?

What manifests itself

between one brim and the next?

Is it wanted moments of regret,

or the sap of satin's silver liquor

which brings sugar to our lips?

Author's Note

What is the point to drinking? Sometimes there is not an answer.

A splendid read and write. Not fan of drinking and I like how you put things in perspective...:)..............

[DaniElle LaPointe]

psychotic takovers! encompassing pleasures.....................oh how this is more than just about drinking..... that is the answer true true.

[Frieda P]

It's a quick fix, a band-aid of sorts, when we don't know where else or what else to turn to, it doesn't help matters but some nights it's a necessary evil for some. Nicely pen'd.

[Todd Mc' Callough]

I definitely agree it is sometimes necessary, this was just off a whim after I had to spend a night with a friend who was having issues and it made me realize sometimes it's not really worth it.
