Drink

it courses through my mind it burns
covers all the thoughts the yearns

brings me numbness, seeks to tank it
covers grief, a warm soft blanket

clears all thoughts and brings relief
brings surcease to all my needs

the mind is shadowed, quiet'd a bit
agony covered, a brief respite

all thoughts of pain all melancholy
are thrown away, however shallowly

raise a cheer, a hearty shout
to the chemistry effect
to mind's temp' rout

when soul wails, begs dark dampers
to this ye turn, the mind's dark hamper

shriek and gnash and clamor for comfort
but turn to this, and find warm summer

I cling to thee and enter thy place
sobbing, begging, to your embrace
