I Love Whisky

Another unreleased poem.

I live in the Heavy Metal Machine
each thundering bass and lightning chord
resonate through me so
I need the elixir of the God’s
to keep my head together

I love whisky
I love whisky
My f*****g liberty
is to get wasted
so I can escape... me

I live in the changing skies
I am born with every raindrop
and I die with the broken clouds
I want to wash away
in an ocean one hundred percent pure

I love whisky
I love whisky
My f*****g liberty
is to get wasted
so I can escape... me

This is my escape
My escape from this Hell Hole
This is my escape
My past, present and future
My escape, My escape
and you can’t judge me anymore

Author's Note

From the unreleased alcoholic play.

Lovely rhythm and structure. Not an extra word. As always, well done. I've read most of your stuff on here. And I am immensely impressed by a talent so young. If I could make one suggestion. Well, three really. I get the anger and the pain but that is really only half of any story. Start looking for and including in your work more the beauty, love and yes, dare I say the humour. There was both love and beauty in the Cathedral piece, and I was so impressed, I shelved it.

I've written a lot more prettier poems in the past (check through my archives). I really wanna stretch my Axl Rose/Bon Scott/Paul Stanley muscle now (writing-wise).

[Pryde Foltz]

I guess what I am saying is piece should have both and then you will go beyond the three writers you mentioned. If you really want to be blown away by lyrical writing, check out Gordon Downie from the Tragically Hip. He's beyond amazing.

I don't know.. Axl has written some beautiful lyrics (check This I Love and Catcher in the Rye).

[Pryde Foltz]

Yes, axl is probably the best of the three.

[Simon Welsh]

Bon Scott wrote some clever, witty lyrics however (The Jack, Whole Lotta Rosie) and Paul Stanley wrote anthems.

Dark. Heavy. Honest.
Poetry should be just that.

I enjoyed reading this! I can really tell your love for Gun's and what not through this poem. Also the structure was great and the large print reminded me of how when you got to a concert the sound is just so loud and resonating. Nice poem.

[Annabelle Lee]

I love how you can make a fantastic poem without using four syllable words that I have to look up to make it so.
