Absinthe

It awakens artists & cures melancholy.
Take me away from this dark reality.
Numb my sorrows & heal my pain.
My wounds will heal, but will I love again?

Absinthe releases the "Green Fairy."
It has inspired writers like Mary Shelley.
Open my third eye to see the mystical.
Everyone's dreams should be magical.

It creates roles for actors to play.
Images of someone they may be someday.
Reciting stories written in rhyme.
An audience is taken to another place & time.

Absinthe releases the "Green Fairy."
It soothes the soul & relaxes the body.
It is a muse to poets like Edgar Allan Poe.
If he was reborn...where would he go?
