Liquid Courage

Pour me a bottle of that ink

Shot after shot

I down it

The bitter tang excites my brain

Altering my thoughts got me going insane

The insidious pain

I like the feeling so I 

Drown it

Doesn't matter if my insides 

churn

It's my fire.

Let it burn

My gasonlime

Take it to the head

Ignite the Poette in me that was once dead 

I want it to penetrate my blood stream alter the scene before me. 

Set me on flames because

When it's in my system I'm hard to contain

Let my drunkin mind speank the sober truth in the form a flow. 

These syllables staggering together to feed my ego

Metaphors become a part of my lingo

Figurative mingle

I dance to the tingle 

Intertwine with a rhyme

That allows it to pass.. Thing called time

Let the sounds beat

As the ink seeps inner beats screams

I can write a symphony 

Consisting of similes that will be drawn out so descriptively

Simply a mystery just hand me the ink

Lethal dosages are my potions thats sets me free

Staggering thru stanzas slurred speech I can speak

Or maybe I'm drowning in the bottle I call my symphony

Let the ink seep

Deep within my soul

Brews this potential poison

Liquid lie detector

To those who consume this....
