This drink

This mead

So intoxicating

At first sip

A heady feeling

Making you think

You can take over the world.

All your hard work

Has borne fruit.

You have reaped

What you have sown.

The first time's always the best

Drink after drink

Reaching new highs

Refusing to crash to old lows

And slowly

But surely

The draught running through

Your veins so blue

Will take its toll

Giving you

Clouding vision

Darkened gaze

With eyes unseeing

Skin unfeeling

Cloaked in the aftertaste

Of bittersweet victory.
