    Drenched passion walking the streets in the rain
    Drowning in his own emotions

    Through stain glass eyes he perceives what they call life
    Reflecting part reality and part fantasy

    Too tired to care which is which
    He walks like a drunk without ever needing a sip

    Trying to find the doorway of tomorrow
    Like a cheap bar or motel

    As he travels through the desolate alley ways
    The ill-lighted chasms of today

    I like this. I love the title, really rolls from the tongue. I like 'stained glass eyes' reflecting life.
    One small criticism though. I don't think the line about 'without ever needing a sip' sits right. I would put something about 'He staggers drunkenly, though sober." or something to that effect.
    Anyway, good stuff,
    Keep posting,
    A.
