The fix...

Love seems to be
the only thing
worth being real with
maybe I'm naive
It's the only thing
worth feeling good
about
taking things down a notch
and it's there
simple
not so big
as the world's problems
going down smoother
like a' hot toddy'
whiskey, honey and lime
or an aged wine
I want to stay there
always
in a fix to keep me high
a look
a touch
a sound
makes me feel good
softer
than the hard edges
that life brings
so I'll stay in that illusion
building sand castles
along the shore
waiting
to be swept away
in its tide...
