Drunk On Words
So I’m drunk on wine
And I haven’t found the time
To say how I really feel
Crushed under life’s wheel
I want to say so much
But I don’t have the touch
To put it into beautiful words
I want to sing like a songbird
I’m left feeling so empty
Everything’s so petty
Just need to find me the time
To make my thoughts rhyme
I read these beautiful sonnets
Nothing yet is quite as honest
If only I could find me some time
Where something sounds sublime
And I haven’t found the time
To say how I really feel
Crushed under life’s wheel
I want to say so much
But I don’t have the touch
To put it into beautiful words
I want to sing like a songbird
I’m left feeling so empty
Everything’s so petty
Just need to find me the time
To make my thoughts rhyme
I read these beautiful sonnets
Nothing yet is quite as honest
If only I could find me some time
Where something sounds sublime

Surely 'where everything sounds sublime?' What wine is it? I've been on the chardonnay tonight!
I wrote 1.5 sonnets btw as 1 of them is a co-write. It was hard work but personally satisfying.
Do you have any sonnets to your name then?

Hmm, good question. I googled sonnet for the sake of the poem but I can’t be sure if I do have one to my name. I’ve never collaborated though, if that helps haha. It’s Cabernet Sauvignon, my favorite❤️

Ah, I feel this one, I do! Here lately I've been getting really frustrated because I can't throw my thoughts together. When I want to rhyme in poetry, my mind throws me prose & vice versa. Thank goodness, I'm ok with being "the improper poet" which I wrote about, considering my muse can be a real bitch when it comes to form & flow. As far as a sonnet, they are tedious. I have managed one, but sky_dancer is the one to check out for those! 🖤

ah, been here... all tongue tied but the thoughts are untethered, flitting about haphazardly & unwilling to come to heel...
for sublime sonnets, read Geoff... the man is a master at them.

I’ll have to look into that, poetess! I’m between being drunk when I write and sober when I write. Ahh and which is better.
Thank you, for the read, for the comment and always for the love❤️
