Shots of Gold

by Kaitlin Kristina   Mar 7, 2005


Hearing the bottle
Glide off the shelf
Anticipating

To lose myself

Unscrewing the cap
Slowly I twist
Anticipating

To cease to exist

Pouring the gold
Into a shot
I have all night
So I wont get caught

Picking it up,
Throwing it back,
Anticipating

To feel pitch black

Biting, burning
Quickly it blazes
Anticipating

The spinning faces

Close my eyes
Suppress the tears
It’ll all be gone
With a few more “cheers”

Pour another
Down the shoot
Anticipating

For life to be moot

Yet another
Tequila down
Anticipating

To hit the ground

A few more
Shots of gold, to burn
Only to check out,

Then return.

    You have a lovely talent for putting into poetry most would be to shy to mention. I simply love you're style, exotic and forward.

    lol, I got you totally.

    I've probably got too many people fluffing my pillow already, yes?

    Although I wouldnt mind you tucking me in at night ;) *grin*

    Yep, I got that completely and it's a pretty damned good end too. And I'm harsh cause you you'd expect nothing less. You don't want me fluffing your pillows and tucking you in at night, you want me to help you improve, right ;)

    The message in the poem, or the deeper meaning, however, is in the last stanza:

    A few more
    Shots of gold, to burn
    Only to check out,

    Then return.

    It is all in the "Then return," because you can only escape temporarily, which is what is being striven for throughout the poem in its entirety.

    Damn, you're a harsh voter ;)

    Pretty much trying to forget is all its about. I see what you mean, I'll probably go back and edit through it to make it more multi dimensional.
