Alchemy

LP2187

It spread like butter

Gold wading through

The shimmering pipes

Glass containers filled

With clear chemicals

That swished fiercely

 

An elixir of life

Collected in drops

Pure drops

Of an antidote

To eternal blight

Resting in my hands

 

I raise the small vial to my eyes

A flask of burning love

Melting in existence

A cure to death itself

My mind rages as I twist

The bronze burette close

 

The flow of liquid stops

Infinite flames licking

The insides of my dry mouth

Anticipation and desire

Unfolds and ripples through me

As I raise the flask to my lips

 

An explosion of nectar

The boundless essence

Flooding my veins

Senses overwhelmed

Heightened emotions

As I swallow the contents

 

Love and pain

Glide down my throat

Suffering gnaws at the edges

Remaining with anger

But still overpowered

By the elixir’s love
