[hometext] => a true to life acount happend to a mate of mine when we went on our most recent trip to Bangkok
[bodytext] => The air hangs low as the smell of the last night's debauchery Still hangs in the air, as a combination Of wet pavement and putrid human stench The route down the street is overshadowed by a virtual canopy of neon signs Reaching my destination, the climb up six flights of stairs In a decrepit building passing groups of young women Congregating in the stairwell Laughing, eating and preparing their makeup for the night Reaching the top floor the rusted door swings open into a little room A quiet oasis situated high above the mayhem of the city below Sitting at the small bar inside is a young girl she is skinny and fragile Her hair is that of ebony and her skin of alabaster I approach her & she turns to greet me She sips her melon line daiquiri we talk for hours Soon the bar closes and her shift is over Together we leave and head for home We walk through the sea of neon & people Its noisy and crowded and the smell of fried food & cheep alcohol Cling to the inside of my nose The night is illuminated with visual stimulants And my brain is intoxicated with the sights, the smells & the beauty before me We arrive back home & the rest is kind of blurry I wake to find morning has come & she is gone Destined to repeat the actions of last night time & time over While her soul remains chained to the will of a cruel slave master [comments] => 1 [counter] => 234 [topic] => 48 [informant] => Immortal-Dragon21 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 8 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
