THOUGHTS IN A TAVERN (An Original Poetry)
IMAGE SOURCE; The Barren Land by Titaniasky
The tales of tipsy slurps,
vague memories, eyes in tranquility
gin-soaked mindsets, plastered all over
seeing the haziness around
takes the soul on a reality tour,
forgone anguish lays bare
on the banks of the reminiscence
waiting to be fondled
the taste of tavern's ale
harvest the harshest actualities
from the comfort of irretrievables
We are antelopes without homes
hiking the misty marshlands
paradox and irony
the only truth we know
perceiving bitterness without a noes
a flagon of daziness
to camouflages and tarpaulin your thoughts
but sorrow is an immortal figurine
that's never bested at battle
awaiting till your dive through
waiting at the other end of the bank
Your conscience is two edged sword
leading you to spoliation
or gripping onto your humanity
exfoliating suicidal musings
or taking you to a boozing spree
where the world is black or white
neither pink, yellow or green
you're awake to see the creeping things
that sleeps and feeds on your consciousness
but from a tavern's thought
the mind may be comatose
but reality only comes
at the day's forlorn hours
Watching wearily as nature weans
springing forth fangs and mandible
while beautiful and sonorous smiles decay
we wait earnestly in impatience
to buy warrant to watch our demise
munching and nibbling on our lips
till we bleed past the purity of pain
staying sober for the sterile days
but drowning the essence
once again with coloured waters
When the world
can no longer sting us

I like where your thoughts take you during your drunken stupor. It's fleeting and yet it speaks to the very truth of our existence. I guess alcohol really does have a way of unearthing stuff we dare not face in our sobriety.
You're right, the intentions was to really show that sometimes the real sobriety comes from being drunk really and well life itself is a jukebox of paradoxes as well. It's been a really long time my friend
