Poison by Joel M Andre Tuesday, September 30, 2008 Rated "PG" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan It has so many meanings, it is always fun to hear what people say it is about. I did not have anything in mind when I wrote it, but it has gotten a response over time. Enjoy! Oh there is a word that could be offensive to some, the word is used to describe a place of fire. If that word offends you, please do not read.
Poison Hush dear And just drink of me A long slow sip From my grail Wrap your lips on my cup And embrace my warm drink Which burns your soul And fills your thoughts Close your eyes dear Smell the drink Let it linger on your lips And embrace the drink Grasp at your throat As you are forced awake As you struggle for air Relieve those moments in terror Now you have learned Something from a time long ago Something someone should have warned Something you thought was a joke Look in the mirror Embrace the facts I give You have learned One hell of a lesson For everyday you will know That of all you have loved One now has left you Poisoned (c) 2008 Joel M. Andre
