Amber Light
I could take that bath but
will I feel worse when I wake up?
I will feel worse
when I wake.
I peer through the glass.
Waves of amber swirl so light.
Yes, I would bathe,
now that my soul is naked
but I can't and
put it back.
I dream of you, all hours
of the day,
of the night black
and wonder if these feelings
will ever
go away.
I could hold you to my heart,
fully corked, unwilling to spill,
as long as your cool magnum
chills my bodice corpse.
I lay in this cradle
like a crypt, unwilling to cry out
because they could take it all away,
and I need this place to stay.
Baptismal waters churn
and bubble and gleam,
wishing a temptress would beckon
to christen me anew, but
I wasted all my days.
I peer though my night.
Waves furl about a false,
navigational guide.
I can't hide. Let me
drown in my sheets this night.

the potential for alcoholism is great. I've been there and back and believe me, I do not want to go there again. I wish I could just keep the temptress without paying a debt.
