Lush

the bottle’s décor did not even
embody a “cheap kind of pretty”

but the reflective liquid
from the damp of a dark sun fall
courted my expression with
doting oblivion and
short breathed lies

we do indulge
in a give and take accord-

and I take it,
every morning
with 3 fingers full of aspirin,
that expired twelve weeks ago..

but the pain over-exposés me
subdued,
with my knees
at the skin of teeth

Lies and Destruction .. your poem says so much and shows a sad, deep emotion that the bottle brings out of so many ...

You have a way of decorating, with sublime beauty, the worst of our ills.

I must say I have never experienced such a beautiful hang over.

I really must hear this spoken.

but the reflective liquid
from the damp of a dark sun fall
courted my expression with
doting oblivion and
short breathed lies

this strikes the chord of familiarity in my heart..
and yes.. the bottle does lie..
but it lies so well sometimes its hard not to keep going back for more.

great poem.

There's something about that little part of the poem that jumped out at me. There's a sad, beaten down feeling to it, like going through a routine just because there's nothing else... Anyway...

Lovely poem, as always.

(By the way, Lush is one of my favorite words.)

Yes it lies - but such lovely, sweet lies it tells...

I've come to this a little late so everything to be said has been.

Your work is always a pleasure to read, you have a way of using language that i envy.

Lush. A very interesting word. Just reading it makes me say it aloud a few times.

"we do indulge
in a give and take accord-"

I really enjoyed this line; although, I cannot explain why...
Wonderful poem!
