Let the liquor pour, and dim the light. Don’t mind me as I wrap my scarred skin in shadows, drawing my darkest secrets, like crow feathers tatooed across my wrists and ankles, memories of the cuffs I wore for too long. Let the wine flow, and hope I learnt how to swim somewhere along this desert road. Keep the drinks coming, the lock of my golden cage is getting looser, with every other sip. Do you hear it? Do you feel it? The raging thud of my heart, furiously roaming your way… Hit me again, now. If you have the balls to look me in the eyes, if you are man enough to handle the strength that built up slowly but surely, behind my ragdoll’s eyes. The time has come to open this Pandora box… Another round of shots, what’s your poison, Honey? I long learnt that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. I’m ready to spread my wings and show you what I’m worth. In all my blessings and all my sins. All my shades of survivor! I might look frail, but I am not fragile. I need not to be saved, not anymore, never again. I just want someone to see my inner warrior. So, if you’re tired of picking up lost damzels, fill our glasses to the brim…
Cheers!

I certainly like a girl who approaches her drinking not only with enthusiasm but with a hint of predatory aggression.
Bottoms up.

If we’re to share a couple of drinks, might aswell make it an experience 😉

I could not agree more. Depending on the level of enthusiasm with which we approach it then it may be ‘an experience to remember’ or one that we can’t.

This is quite a dilema… On one side, you keep good memories, on the other, you have more fun but can’t recall any of it the next morning…
I’m pretty spontanious… I guess we’ll see 😉

The positive side of not remembering is the overwhelming desire to do it again to find out what happened. But, of course, one hopes that a clear memory of it would create the same response.

It would be inappropriate, of course, for me to ask for any elaboration on that matter.

About 7 seconds if I recall. There was definitely a bit of bourbon involved, so the memory is a bit hazy. 😃

7 seconds is not bad at all! Not that I know anything about it, but I don’t think I could stay on as long, liquor involved or not 😛

The alcohol didn’t help me stay on, thats for sure. But it made being bounced off it a lot less severe. 😃

Pop the cork and pour the wine
You and I are doing fine
Found each other, not too late
It’s time for us to celebrate
Hands connecting hearts that sing
Eyes detecting everything
Inhibitions never more
We’ll leave them on the bedroom floor
Another sip of liquid bliss
Memories are made of this
It sounds like an advertising jingle for a cheap domestic bubbly, perhaps
