Lemon slices the tongue
Alcohol soothes the pain
Fuelled by nicotine breaths
Colouring a pale life
Jump into another world
Through the medium of your TV screen
The inches slide away
Beauty transforms the plain
Until rudely awakened by the commercial break
Another slug of vodka induced light
Never-ending bottles
resulting in becoming the James Bond beauty
Bikini clad and arched eyebrows
Plucked to perfection
TV Nirvana
Dancing in fluorescent light
Atoms and particles ignite
Dots merge and form
Until we see a Deity
Lost in abstract reality
Drowning in devastation
Absorbed in Hollywood hype
How many actresses bleed themselves to death?
On a lullabye dream of red roses and crimson wine
emblazoned with dollar signs
Only to find the bottom of the bottle
Offers nothing but empty dreams
Years of unresolved regret
Yet the medium of T.V fuels their primitive beliefs
And yet beneath the terracotta sun and moonshine
Puckered pink bud lips
Sip Campari and lemonade
and dream..........
