The Wine Traveller
AS I stare down the bottle
deep into the murky past
I see the home I used to own,
the love that did not last.
I think of the two little ones
we had before my fall,
but I'm too drunk to be with them
and they no longer call.
I miss the man I used to be
before I fell in love with drink.
In my rare sober moments
I'm amazed how far a man can sink.
I mourn the loss of wife and home.
Its painful to recall
Back before I was a drunkard
You might think I had it all.
It's Just you and me now two buck Chuck
We've had a real good run.
I am the wine Traveler;
my goal? Oblivion.
Inspired by a sign on a wine vendors van A work of fiction
