Writing While Intoxicated

By johnqpublic

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I've just stumbled from a cozy diveto my favorite late night coffee shopprepared to share my wisdom with the multitudesHeavy music fills melike God's heartbeat.Whiskey inside me fuels my pento scatter rainbows across a pageand I am flyingin love with the demons that torture me inside.in league with dark stormtrooperson a scorched-earth campaignto destroy every soul within their path.Hostility flows from me-nothing like the sweet love sonnetsI produce in the brightness of the day.Whiskey brings happy thoughtsto some; in me, sinister dreams fill my head.Morning brings remorse and a throbbing head-I review my rageful scribbles as ifthey came from some foreign handYou see, in the brightness of the dawnI cannot not stand the darkness of my face;so I dim the light of self-recognitionby pouring whiskey down my soul.
