Drunk

You know, 
One day i'm going to get drunk. 
And these words will come flowing, 
like a soft spring, 
Over jagged ice.
Melting the sharp blades,
Into smooth edges
That will stab,
my fragile skin.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

The poets have a similar enthusiasm as being drunk of love, beauty and truth to justify the good by finding mercy, compassion and piety. It might be a reason, they were driven away from the Fortress of Pure Reason.
