Smooth
I swallow the concoction
my heart seemed quickly soothed
a little truth mixed with the lies
made it taste so smooth
ambrosia to my tongue
with bibulous afterglow
predilection quickly sets in
blurring all that I know
waves of nausea crashing
like the flow of the Black Sea
what echos in this chamber
may never set me free
