Drunk In Love Poem by Micha Memory Asime

As my eyes dawned
On the seconds of the rising sun;
My innocence and naivety yielded much.
In the fantasies,
Of fairy tales and their forever after's...
But as the morning came and the hours drew on
I learnt not to dulge on my stupidities
But to lust on as my emotions surged on
And I perceived myself to have found Eureka
Only to know it was a fool's dream.
An errand to the ashes.

The afternoon drew near
And I had learnt much of the secrets of the sun
Could even count the stars the day held uptop, so clear...
The skills, charisma and thr characters
Stolen from an afternoon from yesterday.
From thr scribes, the red motion and Hollywood
Had coated the linen of my mouth with sweet deceitful honey
And my whole with tge acts of Solomon's blues
And I thought myself Jack.

But the night caught me unaware
For it was still young....

And I, with me flowed with the current of the wind
Ended up to the parties and fun
Oh! ! ....there was much red meat and wine
And jewels that shamed the sun
And fine linens that made the clouds inferior
I soo did have my fill
Like the glutton in me for all things good...
I was Drunk In Love
And as the night grew old, my imagination wild....
I had seen fire, I had seen rain.

Midnight found me in a fool's slumber
All jarred and scared and purple tearing with a smirk.

Another dawn my eyes saw
With a hangover so huge the blue sky
A regret so deep the sea
For I was a day older and a lil wiser to reality
A yearning so great for better much
A thrill so imbedded for what this day will bring
After all;
One is what one was for the rest of one's life
A Drunkard....
