Vodka gracefully burned 
its way thru my veins, 
my brain glowing 
with the ecstasy 
of that 80 proof 
intoxication 
 
and like a stalker 
in the shaded wood, 
Regret and Sorrow emerged 
to murder those villains 
called Glee and Laughter 
without remorse 
 
as the glow was snuffed 
Sin and Misery 
danced in to join 
the party that was lit 
by bright flashes of memory 
long buried 
 
Smiling was abolished 
and swept away 
by the tears 
that cracked thru 
the wall once built 
to cage in Love
