[bodytext] => Drunkenness ~ You used to come home late at night, While I was still sleeping. You used to slam all the doors, While mom started weeping. Who was this man before us? Only his face I recognized. Who was this man who swore to stop? But only told us lies. ~ Sleep was like medicine for you, In the morning you’d appear. And plead for forgiveness, Like you’ve done for over a year. Though my heart would say yes, My mind could not forget. And after all of this time, I’m still not over it yet. ~ You took from me security, Something a child desperately needs. I’m fearful of closing my eyes, For you planted the seed. You battled with this addiction, Not wanting to be saved. You stayed with the bottle, Right up to your grave. ~~~ Thank God this never happened to me or my family. Growing up in a Christian home, I never knew what booze was until I was much older. I never was exposed to the dangers of it, or the destruction of the family it caused until I met a boy in grade school who had an alcoholic father. His stories of abuse where horrifying, I can still remember them today. Years later his father died of alcoholism.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
