Repercussions...

INEBRIATION

Burden me not
With so many unsought
Memories.

My heart,
heaped heavy
With such happiness
May no longer be able
To
Brave the battles,
To down the draughts
Of bloody bottles
When
They eventually come.

And render me dumb.

Harnessed to the hopes
Of endless heavens,
I am doomed
To be done
Into
A deadly defeat .

Darling,
I am drunk
With a deep-seated,
Dire,
Heady desire
To drown,
To demolish,
This hapless heart
In you,
Yourself,
All that is you.

This defiant ego
Alas,


Even this is daunted:
It dares not fight
A lone, lost war
With no arms,
Mere head,
To stoke
Its dying fire.

Hangover time,
I fear,
May
Never
Draw near.
