SWEET BILE

Sweet Bile you are
Sweeter than honey in the tongue
But a poison to the liver.
You like an Ocean
Indepth you lies a huge wealth of treasures
Forever bellowing and rolling
Beckoning the sailors' ship.
A skilled sailor will pass through you
Into the unknown,
Maybe to pleasure,maybe to penury.
But unskilled sailor will drown in you.
You've given man life from your produce
But also ruined the lifes of many.

You are a bitter Honey,
Though bitter in the throat
My soul need you to quench its thirst.
You like a medicine to my fevered spirit
I will joyfully drink the HOLY GRAIL
From the poisoned Chalice.
Sweet Bile,
The only portion for my disillussioned self.
