Long Sober up Poems

Your drinker's doom
Turned out to be a tranquil tomb
Is there any room
To bring out your brilliant, legitimate bloom?

You linger around my restful haven,
My darksome and lonesome, yet pretty satisfying bedroom
You stared at me vacantly and...

I am Kerris Hakim, bartender trade by night.  Here at Fahrenheit Lounge I've heard
Stories of patrons who dared to live, and lovers who had suddenly died.  
Graduating from law school without a dime....

Passion in waves, intense they pummel

Rolling me over & over & over.

Crushed. Help me grow; 

Go on, depart, now - a head start

With all this crap stuck in these spokes

Might slow me down, but watch...

Cold turkey never tasted sweet. If you see me smile then I am probably lying to you. 

I am so used to that mask it looks natural. I hide because I don't trust you. You...

 I've been down 
This road before
Far too many times
With a tiny frown, 
But what for?
I've been alone 
For many years 
Far too many times, 
Sheltered by tears

I'm under you now
I love you somehow
Grieve not,...

What is the purpose, 
of lying to yourself
when it's eating you up inside,

What is the purpose,
of running to hide
as if you could never be found,

What is the purpose,
of pretending not to care
when the most important...

"Possums on the Run - Part 2"

No ice cream, 
cupboard’s bare
ultra Fahrenheit sun, 
hang out the clothes
do the dinner run, 
setting table, 
setting sun,
Can of Irish Stew, mashed potatoes, 
Baked Beans, toast -
no Sunday...

The sky turned stygian grey, violent winds blew.
From above, tears of liquid grief poured down.
Flood waters rose, pressure got built under the soil.
The earth erupted with rocks and buildings,
Coming down with a deadening sound, not...

Ready for round one...subject, verb, noun...done.
First, you tried to run, so now let's have some fun!
I got the message at the "PUB," when you poured it in my cup.

If your citizens all taking toxins apt be your nation 
How eager a man be to martyr himself for...

When they couldn't sedate me
And needed to cut strips of flesh
From my eyelid, I heard the sizzle
Smelled the scalpel burning as it sliced
And glimpsed the steam rising
Through a peephole under the
Sterile towel tent covering my...

I was at a party that very unforgettable day
My hosts were really asking me to stay
But I told them that I should go on my way
Go home, get to bed and sleep it all away

So...

By this juice
It hurts us all
God made us see
See the light never bloomed
No burying for us
Totally insane
After so many years
Nothing to see beyond this mountain
Sooner 
Later
Falls same
Not a single shot
Not further from the sky
Just one...

my humblest apology if you experience addle brained, frazzled, harried, livid with rage akin to bing mad as a hatter gritted teeth syndrome when trying to make head or tails of confusing message, which essentially...

Leaves of the Dead

Les feuilles mortes 



They fall like dead soldiers
Dreams knifed in the dead of night
It is as yesterday
Once more
Where love was kissing my cheek
Where hopes had dreams
One could see the blossom of loves...

A big time job,
A beautiful family home,
Vehicles that are yours,
Yet your heart is unknown,
A loving wife,
That gives her all to you,
Are you satisfied now
It's just you two,
Working around the clock,
Never seeming to be home,
But still...

a lot of the time it's ugliness that inspires beautiful art 
funny how it can be the darkness that lights up the most unusual spark
like me fixing her heart that she refused to love me...

The Challenge of the Night,

'O Challenge of

thy fruits consumed me whole,
You wet my lip,

and bore from this my soul,
an aimless spry,

They have a new drink called a Heat Stroke

Let's go Bungee Jumping..... They said.

"Well I've got time to kill"
"Why not give it a go"

So with elastic bands...

How can something perceived special be illusive? 
Reality check, does it really exist

Early stages is like heaven, they say

Succumbing to their fleshly desire, they turn...
