drunken suspension bridge

Your lines resonated with me and not in a metaphorical way, but from experience of earlier years. Alcoholism is an illness and I experienced that with a partner. Sober, he was a completely different person. He certainly loved his drink though. Much to think about here and reflect on. Up to your usual high standard arqios.

Tristan Robert Lange said:

I can certainly relate to this, my friend, both in how I have seen substances destroy the lives of those I love...and the way it started to destroy my own. Thankfully...I am a semicolon in this way and in others. A brilliant poem that sees the humanity in someone struggling as opposed to merely the problem. Well done, my friend, well done! πŸŒΉπŸ‘

A powerful piece layered with anger and pain, they can see without the alcohol there is love to be had. A worthwhile read.

If taken literal it is so difficult to deal with substances in a relationship on the metaphoric side drunken on fantasies one can not create a deep and meaningful relationship. In its simplicity it says so much.

Yes, despite my poetry’s focus as of late, I too, do have that inner child within me, longing for Christmas Eve/Day. Thank you for bringing that less cynical kiddo out with this wonderful gem, my friend! πŸŒΉπŸ‘

Yep, I get caught up in the mania.
It\'s the one time of year I allow myself to get ripped off.
Wait a minute, today I bought oysters from the farmer for $15 a dozen, and 5kg of frozen wild caught king pawns for $27.50, and got given a watermelon by the Syrian grocer. Great time of year,
Cheers

Most tender and at the time most splendid in images this poem speaks to the heart of anyone that has ever held another dear. Lovely

Poetic Licence said:

A beautifully written piece of poetry, riddled with tenderness and love, and i feel the love was never actually made public. Well worth the read, Thank you

The greatest loss this side of heaven, is surely one that can only be disclosed to the closest of friends. You penned this poem with absolute depth and feeling. A wonderful write of love unspoken. Well done arqios.
