Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder

Absent now  
My fiery verdant truth  
Yet still my absinthe heart  
Sets the veins aflame.  
Banned the green liquor  
Salve to the wounds of memories  
Or inflaming them to burn yet deeper  
Banned the voice drowned to history  
Yet drink I will  
Seeking out the country  
where the green of palms  
And green of seas  
The absentees  
Return to me  
I sigh to find  
It but the raging mind  
Drunk on fire & sugar cubes  
drowned in green fairy shots  
Ah, to share a shot of truth  
With the blue-eyed mystery  
Swim with me in this green and see  
What makes the heart grow fonder
