Say 'No' To Alcohol

by Pankajam K

I am a prisoner of love for life
occupying your innards, like a caged bird
and I flap my wings in pain
when you don’t seem to realize
the liquor that you gulp down
burns you, me too as I dwell inside
and I, who can’t fly away from you
accept the harm happily.

I am your guest for life
with no intention to cut short my stay
so pleased with your warmth
so impressed with your care
so humbled with your attention
that I can’t think of your fall
and walk away unconcerned,
hence silently swallow the bitterness.

Even when my wings lose their charm
or my stay with you turns unpleasant
my absolute love will linger forever
to fill aroma of life in each pore of your being.
