Potion

Blended potion,
Water and Whiskey,
Stimulating emotion,
Happy, sad and then risky,

Sip by sip,
It seduces,
Drop by drop,
Illusions,



Painful shadows emerge,
They dance together,
Dreams shatter,
Life seems a failure,

Next sip kicks in,
Fuel for imagination,
Walk forth new chances,
Rickety hope for new dreams,

My innards feel warm,
Brain has long gone,
In this company of spirit,
I am reborn,

Do not know for how long?
This pleasure shall reside,
Later comes the hangover,
Another reason to sit and cry,

This never ending cycle of being drunk,
No profit have I ever earned,
I do not why I even started?
This bogus potion of pleasure.
