The Themisceran Alchemist

What is it that you’re drinking?
I can’t place that exquisite aroma
a clear glass bottle got me thinking
a freshness that get’s one off coma!

served over ice, with muddled lime
crushed brown sugar, a zesty flavor
filled with coconut water, a crime!
In a tall glass with love, one to devour

a taste so unique, made me wonder
a turning moment or just a blunder
a cool taste from a jolly ol’ plunderer
an embrace into a new world right under!!

let them prophets say, the world ends!
I’d just say, let it tomorrow or a week from tomorrow
cos’ the world right under, gives me no bends
but a happy cocktail that gets me out of my sorrow

a temperate that make everything lovely
darling buds of lemongrass that are friendly
the dark green kafir lime that makes it zesty
changing the course of nature to make it trendy

made by the eyes, always hidden by the shades
of a darker complexion, reflected in the tasty tones
with firm hands that engineers the chemical notes
and the calm mind that digs deep into Amazonian troves

I’ve been told, I need to compare
be it with the darling buds of May
or with the cherry tops that’s rare
come what may, my ignorance gived no dismay

for what she’s making it’s an art
who is also to me a true sweetheart
hidden by a world that played no part
yet found it’s way to become a chemical bard

by chance the nature will change its course
from a sleepy hermit to a beauty in the mist
to sit in pub called Tavern of the Wooden Horse
and be famously known to this world under as the Themisceran Alchemist!
