Drunken Guides

Drunken guides pour

Through the crowd

Like hunters to prey.

Their eyes are bloodshot,

but narrowed from the haze.

There is no smirk here,

Just a grin to hide the lies.

Walk with her through the desert,

and knowingly be demised.

 

She touches you with

Sweet lips.

Her stain evident on the cusp

of your tongue.

Temptation stopping

to linger,

Her smoke coursing

through your lungs.

 

I walk with her through

the desert,

her fire being my sun.

She guides me with green eyes

and open lips,

without her,

I would be shun.
