Homage to AlcoholA Poem by IbrahimJust what the title suggests.
Homage to Alcohol
1 Wrinkled wraiths of my wretched past flare up, Summoning my spiraling resolve to the precipice. A shadow. O no! It is real. Very much so. A silhouette? The demons of magnanimity; The war cry for my peaceful requiem. 2 I begin my initiation towards redemption, Nothing too fancy, mind. A trifling amount Of what my profound partners prefer. Bless'd they be. The clarity is amazingly blurred. The ice trails to white froth as the Dark Man stalks off. 3 The tirade against humanity is well received, A tinted smile by my buck toothed companion. Silvering my half-empty glass. I see with blinding sight the banality of my life, Time only justifies my Pain. 4 Towards the end of my tether, I notice; My bottle is empty and yet, my heart full Of intermittent bursts of despair. The floor creaks, I jump to my feet and for the first time, Contemplate the hue of my eyes as I face the Dark Man. 5 Embrace him, I must. © 2012 IbrahimAuthor's Note
