Broken Wings of a Sober Heart

You intoxicate my soulā¦
Filling me full of liquid curiosity,
As droplets of distilled emotions
Dribble down my trembling chin.
You are my elixir of good timesā¦
Tilted back to touch these lips,
So thirsty for your careless kiss.
I am seduced by your bottle-cap eyes,
So intent to pour out their bliss
Of prescription pleasure into mine.
My body is sinking through the clouds
Into this sleepless box of comfortsā¦
Leaking with lithium promises
That seek to silence my crying conscience.
Your words drip with toxic tranquility ā
Crippling my concept of reality,
As these threads of thought start to fray.
I surrender to this surreal sedationā¦
Setting flame to the shadows
That dance like lovers behind my eyes.
My tongue lingers to catch your tears ā
Raindrops fleeing from the jealous night sky.
Your whimsy notions have led me astrayā¦
Lost in a blank canvas of glowing embers,
As memories are painted and burnt away.
I wade through days like a raging river ā
Timid to stop in the glistening waters
That flow eagerly with foolish envy.
Your toxins transform time into darkness,
For I have turned blind to the paradigms
That led me to your arms with reason.
How long will these broken wings
Hide away this sober heart yearning?
