Day Drinking

Three in the afternoon--
Grab a beer, or two!
Chug, Chug, Done.
Drink another?
one more cheer!
Let's go shopping,
beer in hand.
But we must not miss
happy hour at five!
Gin 'n tonic,
Coke 'n Rum.
Seven PM--
time to eat!
More food, more food!
We dine like Kings.
Feeling tired?
Let's make a quick
stop at the store.
Mix up that vodka
and red bull!
Time to fly to the bars!
Beezies left and right!
Grape shisha and house wine!
Drink 'till you stumble upon
some cricket-playing Indians!

My Dear

I lied to you today, m'dear
it's hard to say why,
perhaps out of fear.

I wasn't scared of you
persay, but scared of me.
we want different things
you know, you and I

I tell myself:
do not involve her.
I don't want to hurt you,
but I might.

Sometimes I can see
you think the same
behind those shined eyes.

it is a delicate mix
of love and lust,
m'dear.
