I made my way to the temple,
more to set a perfect example.
I looked and turned to the left,
feeling myself quiet adept ;
entered a dirty squalor.
It was old Lucy’s, little bar,
midst neon and fluorescent greens;
I realized after the few sips,
God dwells here in the broken hearts.
Last 3 lines. Awesome.

Thanks for your thoughts, I’m glad you liked it. I’m usually never high, I rarely take alcoholic drinks, but no harm writing about it though 🙂
Haha chill. Was on a lighter note.

Excellent poem, Tanya.
It kind of reminds me of the Billy Joel song Piano Man lyrics, “We’re sharing a drink called loneliness but it’s better than being alone…”

Fresh poppy pods are the seed pods that are harvested from the poppy flower. Poppies are known for their beautiful flowers, but it’s their seed pods that are of the most value. These pods contain the seeds for the next crop and, when dried, they are frequently used in floral arrangements and other decorative crafts. By using fresh poppy pods, you can take your art to the next level as it gives a natural and pleasant look to your creations.
