Mellow Me To Waste

Lonelier than lonely, the walls cry out to I. I choke on sour taste as I attempt to reply. Feelings bunch up, crouch within my throat. I want to let them loose, fly them free, put them afloat. Sweet, cascading, dark crimson wine, Please, fill this crimson space in time. My skin feels the uncaring wind blow, Reminding my tired heart of all I don’t know. Melt me away, oh wine – let your fragrant taste Erase my fears and mellow me to waste. ... CayCay Jennings July 27, 2016

I hope you have some nice soft jazz on the box! That would be a perfect setting. This is a very relaxing write, CayCay. I'm guessing the wine did the trick.

Would you believe, I don't drink? I want to, have tried to, but (a) don't like the taste, and (b) I get totally silly before passing out on the bathroom floor hugging the toilet. I do; however, know the feeling of wanting to be blown away, oh yes I do. Thank you, Daniel ... CayCay
