Wintersunsets

So much life is around me

Full of dusty greens and noise

The growth has unleashed.

I miss late autumn just 'till snow

And after I will love the winter

All the quiet and all the blues

Of Winter-sunset and its dusk

I feel more alive surrounded

By elements and quiet cold

Wrapped, and cuddled

By the flakes of falling snow.

Whiskey

Whiskey quench my thirst
Spread the fire over my body
Sting my lips and my tongue
Keep me warm this summer night
Turn my mind away to clouds
Make my heart beat loud
Keep me away from sleep
Your pungent aroma
Bites me kindly
Never liked the hints of oak
Yet now we are in harmony
A young strong body
And perfected poison
Distilled spirit of the earth
I consume and filter
As it feasts on my flesh
Would rather inhale
Bitterness of herbs
Still nothing can replace
The sour mash
Balsamic to my soul
