Thirsty Date: Sunday, 4th September 2011 @ 02:55:50 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: blended76 I sip hastily from Aphrodite's jewel embeded cup I fear it is tainted Her toxic potion has knocked me into the next rehlm on occasion The recovery time has been unkind Her promise of unconditional bliss is a smoke screen I'm her perfect subject An emoitonal creature with concealed scars The colors of the day seep into my skin Able to feel the vibrations in the air Oblivious to a wolf is sheeps clothing My tears quench her lush garden I'm her curious child who continues to touch the red coil She sits on the sideline with a blind eye Ointment in one hand and a healthy push with the other I love to hate her When i'm on that uphoric high I praise her When the familar wrenching pain strikes me down She is Hades I see her puppet strings but i fall for the the sparkle of her cup Everything has a price The only question left is Do i want to sip today? .
