Reality
There are times
when the walls close in
and there’s nowhere left to hide
from the awful realness of life.
When nothing looks more appealing
than the deep amber relief
and the sweet oblivion that waits
at the bottom of the bottle.
Then I seek the solace
of your arms
and there find my reprieve
from the horrors of the world
Where once again,
the monsters of reality are tamed
and I see all the promise
of happily ever after
reflected in your eyes.
For FOWC Bottle
Til next time ~Peace ~JPP
