Tequila Tears

Chartreuse waves of ocean, Grains of ivory shore,  Drown another memory. Citrus smothered whore. Lemon-lime and bittersweet, Icy hot and burn, Swallowed pain, lies and truth, So easy not to learn. Salty veil of innocence,  Tattered, torn, a demons kiss, Virgin, verdant, in twice the way, Intoxicated bliss. Lick the rim, tongue in cheek, Prickly compromise. One, two, just one more, Heart, head, thighs. Sober thoughts become wasted words, Frozen drops of time,  Call someone who maybe cares? Why, waste the dime. Agave drops of amber ombré, Puddle on the floor. Dignity and vigilance, chaux des fondus au noir. Elixir of the broken hearted, Neon glow of gams, parted, Lamentation, the nectar, Of the harlot, and his bride.
