Set free

Her presence is overwhelming

I'm almost losing my life caring so much to see her face for a few more hours

beer after beer

empty crack of the top on the bottle

the sense of reassurance that one can be

full of life and flavor

yet be so empty

the glass is free of any solid

complete openness

to be filled with what he seeks most

and guess what

it is empty again

to be promising from the first touch

quite a rare situation

yet with no hesitation

with no reassurance

he grabs the next bottle

surely to be satisfied with the next experience

is is empty in the end

muck like the life he lives

the day he finds the endless vice

the bottomless pit 

the depth only he dares to venture

happens to be the day he takes his first breadth 

life begins with no end in sight
