Why Poets Drink (Why I Stopped)
In a drunken kiss
I write of bliss.
debauchery, and pain.
Of pleasures unsavored,
of love unclaimed.
Of mornings without sunshine,
and evenings soaked in rain.
With a swollen headย I sit
reading pages, I wonder did I even write.
And in melancholic forgetfulnessย
I read with fear and delight.
Not knowing whether to be proud
or scream at the words before me.
Like waking in flight,
from an auto-pilot dream.
Not knowing if the words
came from the ***** or me!
