The Mask of Proof

The Mask of Proof

A Poem by Poetic Shambles
"

A poem about alcohol - show some love, 'like' my facebook, your support means the world! http://www.facebook.com/sunilthewriter

"

What is this irrefutable purge,

This wondersome desire?

This testament to the blunders

Of a partial lapse of reason,

Of common courtesy

To masquerade in and out

Of lucidity and intoxication.

 

What is this disputable urge,

To chunder and perspire?

This lack of rest, of peace and quiet,

Caused by the mask of proof,

Alcoholic proof that is,

And its ability to tire me

But never grow tired.

Fantastic write! Addiction is a hard and lonely road to travel, few capture it as well as this.

I like the way you use words. I had to read the poem a few times to enjoy the thoughts and the desire of your poem. Addition can make you crazy and destroy a life. Thank you for the excellent poem.
