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.
The Draw of the Elixir

You almost make me want one and I hate the drink, really. Beautifully written
Be strong, resist. Fight the headaches. You can do it.
You're so brave – I wouldn't be able to resist. Good luck!
Hmmmm. Hubby came home with 3 bottles last night.
1 glass consumed so far.
Giving up smoking was easier LOL!
I feel that way about Pepsi. Well written!
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!
Another beautiful post. Think you should sell it to them.
