Alcohol


NaPoWriMo here we go! :)

Alcohol

You're like a hard liquor
that burns my throat.
With every sip I take
my body warms up to you.
Your taste is like
a thousand summer suns,
that rips through my senses
intoxicating me.

You're my alcohol,
my addiction every night.
A fine flavored liquor
placed in a bottle
with such delicate delight.

I long for the night
when I can have
a kiss from your lips,
and drink your essence
to warm my body.

I want you to blind my senses
until I stumble to bed,
and dream of your searing kisses,
till the morning comes.

A Break from Writing

I can't believe that I've forgotten about this blog of mine. It has certainly been ages since I last opened this account but then I took a break from writing poems and stories because I lost my muse. I gave up on my habit of writing poetry because the world took me in and shackled me to a desk like a machine that needs to work day in and day out. I grew tired of it eventually...

It was only November last year that the thought of picking up my pen and start writing again grew. At first it was scary and I was nervous as hell because I figured, what if I can't write anymore? What if the words no longer have meaning for me and why should I write if I can't let anyone read it? I stopped before my pen even touched paper and it was a couple of days later that I took the chance and plunged head long. It was a relief and at the same time the fear only tripled after posting my work in Wordpress at Little Ink Elf. I don't have any idea whether my work will be well received or what but it was a challenge I took and now, I'm glad that I did.

So, after a few months of writing and testing the waters, I found another challenge to do. It's called NaPoWriMo and it's an attempt to write poems daily throughout the month of April. I think this is a fitting start for me to revive this blog of mine. Anyway, I am off to peruse my old poems to see if there is anything that can give me some inspiration for this project. If you want to join in, you can learn more here.

Have fun!
