Daybreak confession to the Sea

In a life we must add up what we have done. Re-set our journey and begin again.

  Daybreak confession to the Sea


I have reached the bottom of the bottle.
Now distraught and delirious dreams led me to wishing.


I was swimming in your warm sweet kisses.
Desiring steamy long nights of passion  in your embrace.


I have joined the bonafide brethren of men who cradle love in their hands.
And misused the sweet woman.


Now I sit in a abyss of s**t sipping bourbon.
Walking on a tightrope.

I wish for those nights when you came to me in your sexy red negligee.
Your brown eyes taking the weight of the world away.


I try to forget your beautiful face.


I pick-up another shot of whiskey.
Raise the glass up and whisper to a divine and beautiful woman.
Who flee my worthless life.


Daybreak will be merciful.


I sit alone by the sea.
I will calculate how kind and noble you were.


I pray to the God of the Sea.

Sent a Angel to me with beautiful brown eyes.
To bring joy and laughter back into a sad life. 


I'm sorry.

A old poem. Wisdom can take a lifetime to learn. If we are lucky. We learn before it is too late.

Sorry I have been so busy reading so many writes, I was unable to take out time for reading yours before now. ^^ And wow did I start with an amazing one. I am a teetotaler so for me I wouldn't know how the Bourbon felt. But pretty sure it was just a temporary relief. Heartache and heartbreak is harsh, and you know the sorrows you end up drowning in is worsened when you have lost your way and not willing to get over it.
Umm not sure if this was intentional but in the last couplet you have written a Angel, shouldn't it be an Angel?
Thank you for sharing ^^ Some good advice thrown here for others to learn and follow ^^

You are right. An Angel. Thank you for reading and the help. I do appreciate.

old ..but oho! Provocative and sensual, another feast for my senses.

A very powerful, but sad piece. A very heartfelt piece. I love your note as it is so true...wonderfully written..

I've seen so many people use substance to get rid of their pain. In my expirience it never works.

This was a nice, emotional poem. Nice job.

[Stacey Watts]

Wow very powerful piece. This was sad and with a longing to find the missing piece. This was very well expressed.

[alan khan]

a wonderfully written poem full of raw emotin that i could feel with each word. i really did enjoy this. great work.

[Leaner Pastures]

It is not uncommon to seek solace in the false prophet of a whiskey bottle. I have always made it a point to not consume hard alcohol when mourning a relationship, if nothing else, to avoid sinking further into the abyss of s**t. The longing and misery of regret and growth is manifest in the lines:

"I have joined the bonafide brethren of men who cradle love in their hands.
And misused the sweet woman."

Again, I thank you for the wisdom.

I feel for this guy. Your poem tugs at my heartstrings. I can only wish all will not be lost for him and it isn't too late for him to find some kind of happiness. Nicely written and nicely done.

[Star Wolf]

Very sad and very emotional. This is so well written I hope the ending is a happy one. He sobers up and gets his Angel.
