Intoxicated torment

This was a duet by a poet and a poetess. One drowned in whiskey the other silenced by pain.
It happened on one of those rainy days, when it was not supposed to rain, but like everything that goes against you at times, the rain clouds too were against us. It was a volley of emotions shot across by sms believe it or not. This is a collection of text messages that were sent and received. He was drunk on whiskey and I was tormented by pain. Till Shom's lips touch whiskey and I suffer agony.....

A dialog between whiskey and pain.

whiskey:

It is going to rain tonight like the night last.

pain

I love the rain

Let it come tonight

If it doesn’t then make it come

I demand it.

whiskey

You demand rain is it?

Then give me pain

and I’ll rain my tears for you

pain

The rain beats on your face

Tears or impostors

its hard to trace

whiskey

But would you care?

Would you really care if they

Made love to you for a fleeting moment?

Made you feel like a queen

and gave you memories to cherish forever

Would you really care?

pain

Those fleeting moments I hold

in the deepest part of me.

Where a moment is extended

to last somewhere to last somewhere

close to eternity...

But do you possess enough pain to quench my thirst?

Is there so much in you to let the rain clouds burst?

whiskey

Rain me away oh woman

Rain me away...

Oh woman the owner of enigma

Make me thirst

Make me cry

If I don’t have pain I’ll give you my dreams

Oh woman...oh woman!!!

pain

Pain I’ll freely give you,

Your wounds I’ll decorate with my laughter.

Each tear I will accuse of your loving me,

and each verse I’ll write with your intoxicated blood.

But the wounds I make I bleed to heal you,

The tears you cry rip a hole in my being too.

whiskey

Kill me kill me again and again

So that I am reborn not as I

not as you but as us.

Let there be us.

I am willing.

I am willing to die.

Love is the perspiration of the soul

Let us mix it

Let us be one.

Give me pain...oh give me pain...

pain

Oh sweet tormentor of my soul

Let us dwell in this madness

This is glorious ecstasy that burns within me

that burns within you...that burns within us...

To purity that’s beyond our comprehension.

whiskey

Oh lady oh lady...

When has death been so romantic?

When has death been such a witness?

When has man loved so?

When have the laws been defied such

When has there been more torment

and each moment of torment

more intense than the dying sun

When has love died so to live forever?

Eternity has been defeated

We love...

Let there be no witness

for no witness shall comprehend

Let there be pain

Let there be rain

Love me woman

Hurt me till the end!!

pain

You bereft me lord of words.

You take the breath out of my lungs

You let me not sigh even.

You have encompassed me in my entirety.

There is no longer the sun

We have surpassed it.

There is no air...you are all i breath

There is no god....you are my salvation.
