Poisonous Poseidon

[smore222]

Critical analysis insists
That I draw some sort of conclusion
From this chaos
And I'm thinking of you.

It's as though I'm treading
On shards of broken glass
And I seem to continue
Sitting on pins
And I'm thinking of you.

My hands are dancing
Leaving the rest of me behind
I'm watching my departure
From myself tonight
And I keep on thinking of you.

So this is where it begins
And indeed,
This is where it shall remain
The thickness of your memory
Overwhelms me
And so tonight, I drink to you.

It's not because of who you are
It's not because of what you are
It's not because when I drop my hat
You sing and dance
Until exhaustion consumes you

It's really because all roads point to Rome
And roam, though I may
The lost and found is far away
So I'll not wander anymore
Because tonight, I drink to you.

And before I drift into oblivion
I just wanted to say
And to re-iterate
How beautiful you really are
Sail away, Poseidon
Sail far, far away

Here stood tangible grandeur
A statuesque purity
A slender tunnel through which to cross
To your true consciousness
And enjoy the turbulence.

My Poseidon, falter not.
For tonight, I drink to you.
My poison, for my Poseidon.
A fair trade, fair maid
Your fare is paid,
And though I drink to you tonight,
Farewell, farewell.
