Whiskey

My hands constantly reaches for you
For the comfort of your soothing ways
The gentleness of your touch at first
And the warmth that I feel all over from you

Just thinking of you on my lips, on my tongue
Excites and revives a heart left to die
For within you there is no denying my needs
Your love takes a weak man and strengthens him

You have taken cowards and forged them in courage
Just the thought that this time I won your heart from so many seekers
All knowing the power of being in love with you
All seeking but one night more in solitude or camaraderie with you

All drawn to the amber tone of a goddess, liquid flesh gold
Your bubbly essence, evidence of your proof
Evidence of your dedication, at times measured out
But I’ll take a shot in the dark to you and me

Because even when so many and I swear away your love
I always return after crawling away from you
After retching, purging myself of you and your overbearing love
I’m still somehow drawn to share life’s many miseries with you
