If I Get My Demons Drunk

Repeating sins of the past is like

One more drink at last call

After crawling out of the bathroom stall

And no one to drive you home.

But there can be an unexplainable comfort

In relieving the mistakes of the past

With vision that is blurry enough

To give the truth a second look.

So I will raise a glass

And make a toast to

Those moments of weakness

That has the strength of 100 proof,

For if I can get my demons drunk

My soul will forever remain

A hangover the underworld

Would soon forget.

This is nicely convoluted, complete with good details that almost make our vision blur as we're reading! *smile* You remind me of many aspects of drunkenness that I'd long forgotten! I wish I had the luxury of getting my demons drunk, too, but I've just never been much of a drinker! *wink! wink!* It will be harvest time soon, tho! (((HUGS)))

Thank you sweetie for sharing your thoughts on my work. That is when you get an allcoholic free drink and serve the demon one with ;)

Thank you very much.

If they're anything like my demons they will drink you under the table and keep laughing. But I like the rebellious attitude and the status quo be dammed theme here. Always a pleasure to read you my friend.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you very much... with great resolve we can out drink them :)

I liked it, mate but you're making me feel like a drink XD

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you, then I say cheers and bottoms up :)

Good idea, getting those demons drunk! They will forget what they are supposed to do, and your sins will just be washed away down the drain. I liked this poem -- very clever.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you ever so kindly.

Damn straight... thank you.

Wow. Speaks volumes in only 16 lines. My favorite part: "With vision that is blurry enough / To give the truth a second look." Great piece.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]
