Pick-me-up lines

And we meet
never before
Don't know you.
Don't know me
not the way I feel tonight.

Feigned interest in a mundane conversation
both of us
The out-of-control juice isn't flowin' like mud tonight.
Sit back and watch, listen, feel

tense?
I am now…
hard to judge my thoughts on the whole thing
under the blanket of words and drink

saying the sweet things I hear
lift me out of my funk
hey, want a funk?
because I've got one that I'm in
up to my neck now.
Ha, that's very
funk-ey
when you think of it.


fall

into the fog that clouds the judgement
until the fire we feel
burns the fog,
away
and the raw want finds us
tangled up, knotted up
passionate, aprehensive, dirty, sweet
wanting more
and regretting

just between us
these are fine lines
