Pictures of Neon

Extirpated memories (as if by choice?) rattle around my head flashing along side pictures of neon blinding a bright blue Skyy Last call moments fall upon these lips where ne'er a shot was wasted but I tasted the heavens poured upon my soul in those seconds that you stole the liquid from my veins My head bounces off the back seat of the unknown rambler as I ramble off directions to my heart it's not a straight shot it never was add some wings and we'll get there I just hope the water's cold

Hi there, Tim! Saw your comment on my comment and had to check out your poem. I learned a new word in "extirpate", so thank you for that! I don't think I may get the entire picture here, but it's perfectly fine with me, since I still enjoyed reading this. I don't drink mind you, but first glance at "Skyy" and I had this entire setting in mind. At a bar (neon sign?), a guy mulling over complicated love over Skyy vodka on the rocks. Yep the road of love is always convoluted ;) really enjoyed this! Plus as I type this now, John Mayer's "Neon" comes to mind-- kinda fitting methinks!

I thought this was going to be about Kim Kardashian. She's been on a neon vibe at the moment. But you did it justice!
