A drink

The stranger offered a drink, to clear my mind

A drink, to clear my thoughts?

Are my thoughts not clear for you, I ask

I walked to this tavern at midnight for your company.

They see me as a drunk, wanting to drink more 

But do they now know; it is not the quest to forget but to know

The eyes are still filled with lust, meaningless sex

Oh what is a union, we do not ask as lust leaves me blind

The knowledge is buried inside the grave

The selfish lover never taught the beloved

A mystic lover was the claim, but a selfish lover

Oh what do I know, I still have to find purity
