The Draw of the Elixir

by Ellie on September 7, 2009

Why do you taunt me so?
Your shiny silver slenderness
and perspiring coolness tempt me.
The hiss POP! of an opened ring pull.
Caramel coloured sparkling elixir,
needily poured over waiting ice.
Fizzing, frothing beauty.
How can I leave you?
How can I turn away?
Your effortless elegance draws me in.
Closer. Closer still.
That longed for ice cold effervescence,
cool and satisfying.
I am powerless yet fuelled by your icy grasp.
I can resist no longer.

Be strong, resist. Fight the headaches. You can do it.

Hmmmm. Hubby came home with 3 bottles last night.

1 glass consumed so far.

Giving up smoking was easier LOL!

Great writing. Send this to the corporation – you've almost got a new ad on your hands there lady!! Feeling similarly angst-ridden about my no TV week. I'm over-compensating with chocolate treats!
