Inebriate Adieu
By joyismine
INEBRIATE ADIEU Tantalizing foam Slipping seductively over the rim And down the side; With promise to sate desire, Formerly unquenched, By lust, greed or pride Vision not quite clear, Shuffling footsteps Trip and slip and slide Movements beyond control Inebriated actions Weaving side to side Flash of unexpected light Crash and shattered skull and bone Blood seeping into the light Accompanying cry of pain Of wasting life, Surrendered with a moan Life slips into dusky shadows, And on to darkness, With helpless fragile moan; Seduced by brew of alcohol, And says goodbye Leaving loved ones all alone. Joyce GuyDedicated to a friend who, over several years, in separate accidents lost father, husband, and son to accidents with drunk drivers.
