Adrift

Adrift

Eyes glazed
shipwrecked
by a pink fizzing tide
absolution of worries...
Endorphins collide

Neck craned back
silently studying contours
of a spiralled artex ceiling

Neatly pressed pills
beginning to digest
will I ever tire of this
blissful abundant feeling?

Incarcerated by the current
drifting like a drunken log
barely buoyant, saturated
marooned in pea soup fog

Fabulous write Syd...very descriptive, carries the reader away. It sounds like you are talking about drugs or booze here but I know you are talking about the ecstacy of chocolate!! ?...hugs ?

Thank you so much for reading and leaving feedback Marion. Yes...unfortunately you were right on your first educated guess. I'm definitely not looking for any sympathy though. I just write about whatever inspires me. You kind of get what you're given with my poems lol.

Take careΒ  - Syd xoΒ

Then they are all the more brilliant for that Syd,Β  just be yourself Syd, everybody else is taken. I read that somewhere thought it was brilliant, neither black nor white inspires artists...it is all the myriad colours in between my friend ?

You described this feeling so well that, yes, I was there in that pink fizzy tide feeling soooo relaxed! I know this feeling very well... although not through alcohol or pills or anything else like that. Excellent writing!Β

Hi Being Me, thank you so much for your kind feedback. This write was inspired by pink gin & tonic and medication. Hence the pink fizzing tide.

Thank you so much for your kind comment Tony. I usually find it quite easy to write about myself. I wish I could change some of my old habits though. I'm always trying to improve my vocabulary, so I appreciate you mentioning that also.

If this is about addiction then I sincerely empathise. If it's merely a description of some leisurely relaxation then enjoy!!
A bit of what you fancy does you good, so the saying goes...Β 
An enjoyable read ?

Thank you for kind comment Pen, I don't believe we've been acquainted here on Cosmofunnel. The write is a bit of both, I'm not a full blown alcoholic and I should definitely drink less. I also enjoy it.

Apologies for the late reply - SydΒ
