Ingested Poems

Letter to Alcohol

LETTER TO ALCOHOL 

Ingested poison
Ingested pain
Ingested hurt
Constant rain
Consumptions of an illusion, 
Bruised, Bitter, and Broken.
Ingested false realities and Trumas never spoken
Secrets within the eyes hidden behind a smile
Ingested loss of self gone for miles and miles and miles

I allowed you Jack to plot with Daniel 
Jose to lead me astray 
And Johnny to walk me down a path that led to a permanent grave

But now the Death of a spirit has gracefully been reclaimed from what you once shattered and broken and held with liquid chains 

So Goodbye to your wicked lies

so long to the days I've carved 

You flowing through my veins that made me an addictive slave.

decluttering

connected by a net of misconception
venomous spider’s webs
spun a murky vapour 
synapses raged and festered in a Self
frozen on autopilot with anger and regret

an endless loop of thoughts and feelings
simply refused to thaw and forgive
permafrost allowed no seasons
subglacial lakes slushed an underworld
of resentment in nervous fear and self-pity

irrevocably he had always been a hoarder
collector of trivia banality and serious gloom
icicled intransigence frostbitten mind
so much that hellfire appeared
to be a welcome proposition

he had ingested incorporated inhaled
so very much nonsensical rubbish
there hardly was a tiny space 
for respite and inspired respiration
he nearly suffocated on himself

out he breathed out from his lungs
his spirit soul and desperation
and there was just a small fog of warmth
that graced his near expiring Self
a meltdown of considerable strength
mist of recovery and heat of the moment
that he promised himself to live
reside in the here and now
one day at a time

Cacoethes

"Alone is an addiction for Agoraphobics," ... by The Poet

Fireplace, beg a question; spark fuels naught?
Tired face lit the embers that awaken,
iron mace walled, beyond, fox and bears fraught.
My birthplace well-hushed that quiet sneak-in.

Contented engraved on my face, falsely,
consent and circumstance, hunger and thirst,
extent and measure, fed and quenched shortly,
ingested fully well, blessed, and naught cursed.

Accordingly, dawn swaps late noon's plum skies,
rewardingly, I stepped outside to pause,
awarding me sunsets that soothe my eyes.
Artistry; that the dusk paints when it draws.

Twilight ascends, sunlight lost, moonlight found.
Finite embers dim, alert eyes remained,
my sight sees, the fire's out, I'm bedroom bound.
Divine light flits fears, embrace Grace proclaimed.

Enjamblment, Gathering and Forging

Of the evidence -
Oh the preponderance of tabulated facts
If for not the days accumulated notes
Might the proceedings be held of lack

Perhaps a pensive notion 
Deep within the womb
Leading to retraction before the ultimate impact 
Spreading a distant plume 

A scavenger of such
Gathering and forging on
To find a key of existence
To find the truth in this mysterious life

I weigh all that was ingested
A judge and jury perhaps
Searching for knowledge and wisdom
A book
Of life itself

A Case of Vulnerability

I was never taught how to love
I was eaten alive by the scars of my childhood
 This great devouring, left nothing in it's wake
I'm only a ghost of what was ingested
Living a life pretending
An existence born of violence and disquiet
 I'm somewhere empty, something hollow
A  shadow that lurks in the confines of this flesh
statelessness 

I saw God but now what

Indeed, I declare, I have seen God.
However, He emerged and vanished.
I was climbing up the hillock to visit the deity.
Noticed an aged-man with scraggy structure 
Sitting cross-legged on the verge
Stretched his dangling frail hand 
Seeking alms with slurred voice
I could read the pain behind his sunken eyes.
Instantly offered him what I was holding.
Indeed, I affirm, I saw God in him.
He emerged and vanished.
I climbed down as the purpose was fulfilled.
Thereafter, I went on many a time
Offering many to the gathering there.
Intended to envision Him again but in vain 
How could it happen earlier?
I deduced that my first impulse was out of spontaneity 
But not unpremeditated
I was amazed at this knowledge that beyond the mind.
However, until what is ingested is processed, I fear I may burn.

Energeia

Energeia
Spaced energies from of God’s collective, galaxies;
Ingested forged energies created from;
I intangible, total pure energy;
Placed in an earthen vessel, I’m not of this planet;
Energeia

A little higher than the angels;
I know whose and who I am, I am able;
I am energy placed in a vessel
Mighty I am potency


Vitality vigorous life Energeia


Animation vivacity spirit
I am a spirit, I am a spirit, and I am spirit
I am spiritedness passions fire
I am effervescence exuberance power
Mighty I am potency

Energeia
I am living force, tensional force dynamism effervescence 
Enthusiasm passion; Potency am a spark, I am light,
I am Power fuel I ignite I am strength, force, vitality vim, enthusiasm, 
Dynamism, I am might, potency, stamina total dynamism,   

I am a power spirit force vitality verve animation spark sparkle


In the image of Him, Elohim I am Energeia

The Feathered Owl Man and His Social Theories

Can he dance for do you move heterogeneous. clam chowder to be ingested can you guess his name. Undistinguished gentlemen ferocious and insane. Currently the much wise sagacious yeti  who devolution confer his home to a carpenter. I came to listen to turculent demon who eyes glow with a scinilliant green light a head of a tiger wings of a hawk opens maestoso revealing a conjoined body of faces made of clay crooning in refrain. Heres comes the godhead brain.

Human Toxicity

After injection,inhalation,or ingestion,the first symptoms to appear are muscle spasms.They appear very quickly after inhalation or injection within as few as five minutes and take somewhat longer to manifest after ingestion,typically approximately 15 minutes.With a high dose,the onset of respiratory failure and brain death can occur in 15 to 30 minutes.If a lower dose is ingested,other symptoms begin to develop,including seizures,cramping,stiffness,agitation and hypervigilance.Seizures caused by poisoning can start as early as 15 minutes after exposure and last 12–24 hours.They are often other adverse symptoms, including hyperthermia,rhabdomyolysis,myoglobinuric,kidney failure,metabolic acidosis,and respiratory acidosis.As poisoning progresses,tachycardia(rapid heart beat),hypertension(high blood pressure),tachypnea(rapid breathing), cyanosis(blue discoloration),diaphoresis(sweating),water-electrolyte imbalance, leukocytosis(high number of white blood cells),trismus(lockjaw),risus sardonicus (spasm of the facial muscles),and opisthotonus(dramatic spasm of the back muscles,causing arching of the back and neck)can occur.

Healthier Education

I could be quicker to apologize
and more deeply reconsider
healthy and safe restitution
restoration
restoring right relationship
restorying win/win potential
resolutions

To become more integrally confessional
when I have lacked transparency
hidden by invulnerable
chauvinistic silence

Fearing to offend
on matters not deeply mattering
to me
but almost certainly significant
to this one before me
and/or those beyond me
who do care

However selfishly
needing to be heard
respected

Wanting to have control
over healthy
safe possibilities
truthful
potentially beautiful
where they have invested

Even though I may see
and hear their outcomes,
smell
and taste these same yields
touched
and felt too win/lose
zero sum infested
congested,
too hungrily ingested
injected

I would be quicker to apologize
reconsidering healthy and safe restitution
restoring right relationships
restorying win/win
cooperative
more inclusive
open
vulnerable
and yet resiliently resonant
robustly forgiving 
co-invested 
EarthTribal 
resolutions.

Tests Are No Light Winnings

Tests arrest students' rest:
Requesting the best their stomachs digest;
To see the ones that would be oppressed,
And the ones that would repossessed...
Providing solutions to teacher's quests, 
From the simple twists to them he ingested--
That with pen, he will have marks attest:
Either make cane's justice get them swiftly arrested 
Or make praise reinforces their progress assessed.

Tirane 2022

Sticky coal is pouring down,
looks like it's gonna be a moonless night.
From a rooftop I observed, this inconsistent city with it's logic twirled.

Starved for attention and wanting to be heard,
these "awoke" people absurdly refused to hope.

Irrational thinking took over, as most were hypnotized and lost composure.
Now, tainted, spoiled and infected,
the deadly rain's collected and ingested.

Chewing ashy snow with their mouth agape ,
some puked their intestines while others reshaped.

Neglecting their well being for a comfortable skin, 
as the official death of caring intensively, gives birth to shallow acquaintances.

Magic Elixir

There is a magic elixir
With secret healing powers
Throughout this big wide world
It is ingested every hour

This elixir is not costly
Is available for all and sundry 
From every walk of life or culture
In both hot or cold countries

It calms the nerves and aids the sick
Gives comfort when lonely or afraid
Cheers the sad or unhappy souls
Helps keep troubles and woes at bay

Brings a sense of normality
When all has gone astray
Rationalises situations 
To make it feel “Ok”

It can help relax in a social situation
Creating a connective atmosphere 
Is cheered in celebration 
Way back from yesteryear 

It is available in various colours
Like black ,white, green
Can be weak, strong, bitter or sweet
Hot , cold or anywhere in between

You can consume  it from many a vessel
It has many a different name
Enjoyed by both young and old
From its benefits all will gain

So ,wherever you are
Or whoever you may be
It’s time to pop the kettle on
“And have a cup of tea”!

Full Throttle-Hlm

tubers on the vine
flourishing in fertile soil
field of potatoes

I swilled vodka made of spuds ~ Absolut
Distilled veggies that were grown as a root
Drank another bottle
Hit the ground full throttle
Grossly soused but I didn't give a hoot

ingested as French fries, potatoes are better for human health

Swings and Roundabouts

forthright don’t seem meandering paths ~ but they are known tried and tested 

shortcuts and trapdoors are much more direct ~ but lives they have ingested
