Like any other
I’m with my brothers
Years passed left longing
We’re gasping, laughing
A powder blue sky
Birds startled, flee, fly
In the distant West
Comes a warm breeze, wet
Humid promises
Caress like prom kisses
Passionate, frenzied
Feed weeds of dark seed
The problems distant
Change in an instant
I’m handed a glass
I don’t need to ask
Antiseptic sting
Makes my senses sing
Intoxication
Scented sensation
Ceasing cessation
Emancipation
From sobriety
Notoriety
Known, yet encouraged
Swallow your courage
I tip up, throw back
To memories packed
To stay put away
But set free today
Singeing burn, long yearned
Emotional turn
Guilt geyser gushes
The anger rushes
In a flash, boom, crash
lightnings lancing lash
The stark storm rages
Released from cages
The beast is released
The peace was on lease
Unleashed, I pray, plea
God, don’t let this be
Let this stark scarred scare
Be just a nightmare
Let me wake from this
Give me peace, sober bliss
