Best Bottled Poems

If love is a drug
my chemist doesn't have it.
Where can I find some?...

it comes and goes lately it seems 
to linger leaving a few more scars 
in its wake the mastering of self 
the balance of craving the emptiness 
shattered beneath us why must we 
relive old memories collecting 

saddened streams of haste causing 
injury to the...

All Bottled Up

Bottlenecks are one thing driving down the road
Making one late for work is another
Cumbersome, slow and an all time low

Containers made from glass have their ups and downs
Mostly downs we’re told

Their poisons kill aristocrats, the poor, poets known and unknown

Highs and lows are...

A bell-jar, crystalline, as transparent as an aquarium
Vibrant colors burnt umbers tints glass atop the kitchen table.
No elaborate gardening, just gentle misting in the terrarium
Muted pinks, earthy tones, texture soft as Siberian sable
My supercilious ways are overridden by fecund elegance. 
Gather around my friends and...

Emotions, what exactly are they?
Many think they are part of being
human, others think they are shared
by all living things.
Anger, happiness, sadness, love
and hate, these are all emotions; 
confusion ripens within them all.
Life itself provides opportunities 
for emotions to take seed within
the mind but many things...

Bottled emotions..

Washed off by the salty waves,
Came a crystal bottle
Nurturing a sweet white note
Decorated by a silky red ribbon
Bare footed,  
She had waited for this
Since ages
Tachycardia took over
With trembling hands
Sparkling eyes
When she unplugged the glass prison
Out flew her lover's note
Kissing her lips
Enthralling her senses...

Our ashes have settled on the cliff of pride
while the seed of today sprouts your frailty beginning.
We have at last seen the face of our god
which you have not even learned to utter
or never will at all.
Your intelligence gave you power that
failed the comprehension of...

Ok, I do not know if I should be telling you this,
It is somewhat embarrassing and you will probably laugh and hiss.

I went on holiday to the land of the free
Actually, it was America to the beaches of Miami 
Dam was it hot, I clearly...

as the days go by the racing thoughts wont stop
it comes to the point where i can feel my heart drop
past memories tearing me apart
who knows if i will ever have a fresh start
something has died inside of me and its probably my heart

suffocated caged

poetry packed into bottles
odes no more kings or queens
still we bottle up poetry...

A Bottled Message of Grace


A successfully affluent lawyer began to wander
Through many years  of alcoholism, he fell
 Ten years he wandered around in the wilderness
In a drunken state at the bottom of life’s well

Everything he had known in his past life was a blur
Like...
