Love Poem: Resolution

Resolution

Ruben looked deep down a decanter of hopeless glass

Engulfed in spirits of the wrong kind by his inner nemesis

Saturated with agony delusions and soaked surrender as he

Opened the screw top and drained drunken promises

Lingering at agony’s abyss he glanced at the sink hole

Unrequited love was a reason to live and not to dissolve

Tempests of titanic proportions tempted his resolve

In the face of drowning he tied a new essence to his dreams

One day at a time and sober he now faced life on it’s terms

Naked to the core he put the genie back into the bottle
