Excellent collocation. Beautiful and meaningful poem. Many thanks.
Drinking lands a man in another orbit and habitual drunkards live in another planet altogether! Exquisite write.

Tipsy speech and gait Courage volatile Blurred image When I see this type of people who are inebriate, actually I feel sorry for them! Inspite of all the harm drinking does to their body and spirit, they may be doing it, because of some inherent weakness in them! A great write with powerful diction!
Philosophical indeed. The measure of a wonderful flowing sentiment is in truth that some poems falter, weakened by their lack of conviction but this writing is not one word too short or long. Magic in that such economy of words can be so ripe with meaning. Easily one of my favorite poems as I reach a year anniversary of tasting the fruit of so many poets.....blurred image, like a receding mirage. The metaphor transport and transcends the bounds of our sleepy state and within your writing a reality is crystallized. I shall return to this writing again and again.....................
