Transformation

I’m letting the alcohol transform me
To bore who I can become
It becomes harder and easier to see
At the same time did I stay, did I run?

It is so hard to explain with words
Even harder to know my unknown
My thoughts… unable… simply flirts
With every disappearing truth I own

Transformed without desire
Reformed to only have lived lesser
It’s a passion without the fire
A thought perhaps drown within water

In light of all…I have found my lost
Living with an open heart in darkness
In darken state… to hide all cause
Living with an open wound in paleness

Have I drank a drop too much?
To become a poet I never wanted to be
The sort of inspiration I touch
Need I fear what is transforming me?

Fine attempt at putting that "something" which is, at times, rather difficult to explain into words, Joel...I would say you made a pretty good fist of it. My best regards! :) john
