Long Inebriation Poems

1.
This hunger artist cannot read 
volumes of printed material fast enough 
to satiate an immense appetite 
and unquenchable thirst 
to acquire learning from 
the millenniums gushing fount of 
cumulative chance revelations, 
(or deliberate intent to...

life has it's ups and downs
it's highs and lows

Cruelest thoughts overwhelm
beyond the patrol
beyond the drowning sunlight
firelight creeping up my back,
grab your camera and attack
a moment that doesn't hear
the glowing blue
I should have kept in a faerie jar

ajar is my mind,
hinges broken, hinges built
100...

It's not when I'm asleep I dream,
It's the stages in between,
The moment just before waking,
The drifting before repose,
When fleeting seconds which with I gamble,
When the mind is allowed to amble,
Through the childish thoughts & tangents,
Through...

Idioma

There is a man with a gun.
His finger taut,
tensed and still,
the intention obvious,
no reason instilled.

Because guns kill people.
Or do people kill people?
I can never remember.
Let's take a look at entropy.
A molecule hits a molecule
hits a...

We have reached the base of the Idol
where the iron is now mixed with clay
a kingdom broken and fractured
its lack of strength in full display
 
There can never be any cohesion
of elements weak and debased

It comes in waves
Before you know it
Was it always there
 It comes in waves
You didn’t think about it today
Did I make it up
Is pain a feeling I’ve ever known
 It comes in waves
This time was...

Beneath the azure sky, I yearn for a divine wine of love,
To taste it and ascend, intoxicated by the infinity of moments too brief,
A sweet-bitter inebriation, spinning through veins like a thread of pure water,
And...

365 days of the Alcohol Experiment
After 30 days the need to continue was evident.

Italian adventure to Rome Florence and Venice, cosy restaurants and no wine a penance!
Elation on completion of a holiday with alcohol deletion.

I walked in and pulled myself up to the bar,
The place was dingy and smelled like sour beer.
The people all had that same stare,
Inebriation wrinkles covered their faces.

"Give me a scotch on the rocks," I...

It crept upon me,
From the age of eight,
Who knew the depths of hell,
That that first taste would lead?
The singing and jokes,
The dancing and shouts,
It all seemed grand to me.

It ate deep inside,
My nervous system,
Trapped by...

Growing bald from tearing my hair out.

Fighting the feeling that I'm out and down for the count.

This inebriation has me wanting to scream and shout.

Fighting tempting temptation to want to wash it all away with...

Music is life; live with it...
The life flows in romance, 
Dances in blissful tune, 
As the pitch of flute's melody,
Flows high and low;
Like flowing lake,
Enjoy ups and down in life; 

Music inspires; own it...

WHY THOMAS K THOMAS LEFT A SUICIDE NOTE

Nothing left aside,
He lay on his back
Eyes fixed at ceiling fan.
Reminiscence of Predicament
Of travels in shade
Sojournment in places many.
Land of beautiful women
Back waters,
Port wine and pure lust
Day of...

Undulating emotions 
are encircling all around
Discomboblating and muffling 
the impression of sounds
Retarding the stillness
of abiding on smooth ground

It's like:

What do?
I do?

Do I
Take a walk  
worn down
unshining
strapping on
buckled high
heeled shoe
bling

Or do I 
Sit with
drooping butt

To see the unknown is to grasp the strange
struggle with hallucinogenic disbelief of the deranged:
To arrange and rearrange the disarray of a mind 
nonplussed by a puzzlement of imagery that binds
one in loops of madness...

Stumbling all over the sidewalk....
Eyes completely glazed. 
It was something that had to be done,
It was one of those kind of days.
So after work, I went to the store,
With only one thing in mind....
