l New Years Eve l

Tick Tock of the proverbial clock
3,2,1 detonation, bursts of applause
warmth of laughter hugs and kisses
embrace the newly born year
smiles drunkenly shared
more than champagne
promises of vows yet to be broken
before the year is used
weight to drop
smoking to stop
surrender thy self no more to the comforts of a strangers bed
seek salvation in thy inner self instead
