Absinthe on my lips ,
for way too long.
Seconds , minutes, hours
passing by like the wind,
stronger than a poet's mind.
Power was their fear,
but they had control over me.
Days, months, years , going
through my mind. Like the wind
stronger than a mother's cry.
And while spring was a mystery,
with them the voices in my head-
from blossoming lilies in pain-
become the songs sang by birds
on a sunny day!
But absinthe has been on
my lips for way to long.
134340 elements of hope...
Just like water colours
these illusions too wash off.
Temporary relapse and
they take me back.
Yes , reality is prison!
But surveillance of the phantom
is just another punishment
for the heart...
