Bottle weary

You maybe my only friend,

you listen,you don't interrupt'

and your never abrupt.

You have a beautiful figure,simply simmer,

and you make me feel slicker,although slightly dimmer.

When your empty you've filled me up,

void of all logical thought,

you can always be sought.

Sweet to the taste you come in many fusions,

I don't have a favourite ,I don't want to add to the confusion

When I lay alone at night,staring at the ceiling,

you never want to start a fight,that's my favourite feeling.

You fill me,you complete me,

Without you,I cannot be.

I know you'll leave me in disrepair,

but don't,please don't,leave me without a care.

Felt like you're talking to a very old friend. I understand the connection that you've got but I hope you be a little mindful of your health, too. It is, oftentimes, the weakness of man to cater and numb the hurt of one part yet abused the health of another. It might give you the sedative you needed at present and I feel that you badly needed some from time to time, but I hope my friend (please pardon me for intruding unnecessarily on your choice and your life) that you be concern of the aftermath, too. I promise I will read all the pain and despises. Back to the poem, I felt you. I hope you have more better days. :)

This is from times past and other people I knew. It's not my bag anymore as I'm still relatively young and healthy,I do appreciate your kinds words. Thank you

[EloisaWrites]

A! Nice to hear that. You had me worried there. :)

[Bob Sherunkle]

No,no.When I was in my 20'/30's I may have behaved this way,good times turned into wasted years,in more ways than one.I write about what I was and what I could have become.

[EloisaWrites]

That's good. And even though you termed it as wasted years, those years become references for all your emotive writes. It made you a poet. :)

[Bob Sherunkle]

That's a big responsibility calling me that,don't know if I'll ever be one,but having fun trying.Thank you

Wow, I can relate to this so much. It really speaks to me and makes me think about my significant other. Especially the lines: "When I lay alone at night,staring at the ceiling, you never want to start a fight,that's my favourite feeling." She is always speaking of not wanting to argue and I've felt bad for not living up to being that man in that portion of your poem. An eye-opener, indefinitely.

The only issue I had was the spelling but that can always be helped. Anyway, thank you for such a great read! If you can, please read my new short story!

[Bob Sherunkle]

Hey! I know,my spelling can be bad,but I type so fast and spell checker is a nightmare on this damn thing!I will indeed read your story.All the best.

Had some Crown Royal after dinner, myself! Just as I reflected on your liver being left as puddin', I read the words, "I know you'll leave me in disrepair". Ha! Good timing! I like the idea of the drunken state,as it correlates to the idea of the bottle being "void of logic", in filling you. There is no logic in just not wanting to be there or feeling anything. It comes with the stress territory. Excellent, descriptive read!

[Bob Sherunkle]

Thanks Jay,many thanks

[Coyote Poetry]

This is very good poetry for the bottle of our choice. I like the description. Allowed me to fall into the words and I understood them. Thank you for the excellent poetry.
