Elixir

Eagerly I swallow
Each aromatic drop
Exposing myself to
Euphoric essence, as	 
Even-song resonates
Erasing pain, aiding
Enamoured heart to heal.

I love how you made it all one sentence, Paul. Now I'm wondering just what this elixir might be? This is an excellent poem. Very intelligent write.

September 22, 2016 at 12:38 PM

I'm glad you mentioned the 1 sentence, Daniel...I think that it is important to have flowing lines in this form. Thank you for liking and commenting; as for my elixir I'm still trying to get it branded:) Regards // paul
