Pen and Drink

The room is spinning and the wine is sweet
Little bubbles dance-dancing to my blast-heart-beat
with your words on the wall
and Perignon on my lips
Fermented gold apocalypse -
My man of the hour
is always 3am
:and the music throbs a pounding pulse of what-why-when:
I might have had a point
but I forget
I bet
this won't make sense but nevertheless
with intoxicated rhythms
and syllabic distress
I immerse in borrowed glories and my drunkenness
I really think that I should think
a little bit less
of you
This world should have come with a warning.

I shout! I scream!
I die! I dream!
I want! I think!
I'll have! Another drink!
The sun's coming up on my mourning.

this write makes my head spin..just the way it flows, forces me to read it rather quickly..then i feel a bit dizzy at the end, euphoric but aware at the same time. i just..love this. i keep coming back to it today, just to read and read over and over.

On Thursday May 4th, 2006, Anna Helianthus (1164) writes:

the last line kinda makes me think sadness..and "this world should have come with a warning". but then the exclamation parts just make me sort of happy for some reason. like, i just want to go around yelling "I'll have! Another drink!"
