William Jackson - You Are an Elixir

You are an elixir, a magical draught
of which I can never quite get enough.
And the maddening shame of it is
I have not even tasted a single drop
of delicious you.

Still, I am drawn to you like Odysseus to the Sirens.
Like him I have lashed myself to the mast.
Sadly, I know this is entirely insufficient.
Since I have no wax with which to stop my ears,
I shall go quite mad!

William Jackson
