Absinthe soothes the Heart

Sunshines, daises, butter mellow Turn this lover boy yellow!

They call me lovesick

Vitals are fine, you are mine

The needle goes in

Each prick of the needle

a blessed relief from this madhouse

Beep beep

My heart beats

Hear it sing with the sweetness

Of a thousand nightingales

An ode to your beauty

HEAR ME ROAR!

OFF WITH THESE SHACKLES

YOU HOLD ME NO MORE

Oh, how do you do, Nurse!

Your uniform is neatly starched

Pressed and ironed

With Reckitt's grace indeed!

Why, I am a national treasure after all

Mosquitos sucking me dry

Oh excuse me please

There is a fair bit of skin here

Please, do prod it too

Welcome, Doctor!

How fare thee?

With thy saw teeth

And piercing obsidian eyes

Anaesthesia has deserted your ranks

Love has robbed your banks

　

See your holy temple of science

And reason

Turn treason

I am free

My beloved awaits me

Blood red absinthe soothes the heart

Poor me, I never tire of love's tempting!

Sounds like a love affair with whatever those quack doctors are giving you!

This one felt like it had a lot of heart.

"There is a fair bit of skin here
Please, do prod it too"

The wanting and yearning of love. Make the kiss more sweet.

My beloved awaits me
Blood red absinthe soothes the heart

I liked the above lines. Temptation make the final destination better. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Excellent write. I loved the tone shifting (you are really good at it) - including the all caps showing the definite cry- that matched perfectly with the imagery of the shackles being removed. Thank you for sharing :)

[Lavender Soya]

Definitely enjoyed it Tks! This style is something new to me. However, you caught my interest and I was engaged from start to finish. Loved the suave flow and the effective rhyme scheme. Oh one more thing, what a vivid imagery you've put in each line! Thanks for sharing! :-)

[Mary Bradley]

I enjoyed it. The imagery was fantastic. The rhyme scheme was great as well. Do not use caps in writing, especially in poetry. Poetry is supposed to relax and soothe and comfort the reader; you know as well that caps mean that you're pretty much shouting at whoever is reading, and you don't want to do that. Other forms of writing might be an exception, depending on the circumstances. The description of the nurse and the physician was quite sinister, and might reflect on the patient's mentality. You've done it justice. I applaud you. Thanks for sharing.
