Intoxicated Heart

proclamations of undying love
occupy a sober man's mind
but his intoxicated heart beats
drunk on a mere thimble full
flicking like an asp's tongue
charming words escape his lips
he worships at her sacred temple
to honor the God of tits and wine
tokens of his carnal affections
left upon her delicate neck
the serpent's venom spills forth
to fill the body and poison the senses
the damsel can not escape, torn asunder
by his declaration of wantonness and desire
only to wake in the early morning light
with no memory or feeling because
a sober man ignores the intoxicated heart
