Whiskey Dreams
By Chrissy McPhaul

Whiskey Dreams
You gave me
Interview
with the one
you idolize
Happened
in my dream
Instigated by
Jameson
Flavors
of the land
of your roots
Filled my nostrils
as I poured
the shot
into my mouth
You gave me
hope
of a better
tomorrow
made me
see
my home
in a different
light
it was
no longer
my prison
wanderlust
subsided
as I realized
where I
belonged
staring at
the sea
with you
listening to
its waves
and feeling
its gentle
breezes
through my
hair
but you
you have
sordid
stagnation
of the
cesspool
of despair
adverse
adhesion
applied
to the
soles of
your
shoes
to the
gravity
of
backwards
regression
never
achieving
your
full
potential
killing me
inside
and rekindling
the fire
beneath
the wanderlust
in my heart
till now
I am a
world away
and two
worlds
apart
from
you
and at one
time
I
thought
you
were
the
one
