Absinthe

She stares into a pool reflecting midnight stars

A scrying glass of mystic mystery

A portal to dimensions where the brave may pass

Without a password or a golden key.

 

The shimmer of green oceans in the mind's third eye

Reflects a myriad of distant lands

A chalice raised; a sip that brings the lips to sigh

Wingbeating spirit hears and understands.

 

The trees are hung with lanterns giving amber light

The sky's festooned with stars in veils of cloud

Reflecting in her eyes. In decadent delight

She takes another sip and sighs aloud.

 

The light green potion lingers lightly on her tonge

Unfolding tastes of mint and aniseed

Promising deeper pleasure while the night is young

Where evening moths and fairies stop to feed.
