Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Time in a Bottle

I started drinking very young.

All kinds of alcohol became

Best friend to take from hand to tongue,

Escape into a dream the aim.

I was a hard drinker to love,

Although many in my life tried,

But self absorbed, my love more of

Pouring more alcohol inside.

Through time my life was deemed a waste

By whoever I came to know.

More alcohol, more I erased

Reality for my dream show.

Time in a bottle came to be

All that was important to me.
