Liquid Dreams

The elixir is taken and  
The transformation begins  
The anger builds as the scenes play back in his mind  
The bride takes a new lover  
No thought of the forfeiture of the valued gems  
She holds in her hands  
Self-gratification her only motive  
Selfish all-consuming lust  
Breaks down the bonds she held  
Precious at one time, long ago  
The old lover hangs on like a worn sweater  
Riddled with holes, worn, abused  
Used up and is no longer wanted  
Waiting to be discarded he fumes with anger then  
Jealousy and pride add fuel to the fire until  
He explodes with plots of murder and dismemberment  
No thoughts of this person having value to another  
The rage has taken over his mind  
There is no reason left  
He too has forgotten his value to others  
Selfish judgments play in his head  
Torture and pain seem to gratify his agony and  
The lust for warped justice he needs and  
She deserves..  
Builds in his chest  
More of the elixir is consumed and  
The rage multiplies  
Alibis are formed and replayed in his head  
Like old reels, black and white  
Tweaked in such a way to redirect the outcome  
He laughs at his evil ingenuity  
Proud of himself and what he’s creating  
Godlike feelings induce more plots  
Too creative to be undone by mere mortals  
The killer does not want to be caught  
An accident or better still  
An act of God to show them all  
The righteous judgment of God watching  
The fault lies with her alone  
He was the innocent companion  
More elixir is taken and  
The plan goes to shit  
Self-pity creeps in and  
The killer becomes a blubbering idiot  
The loss of his life’s work sets in  
His heart weeps and won’t be subdued  
His humanity stumbles through the anger and  
His love erases all the plans created  
By the mere mortal  
The inebriated,  
Hurting man
