Sobriety  He stopped drinking and looked remarkable well, his wife was happy, less so his friends who didn't see him in the bar and when meeting him in the street,  his manner was awkward, almost  formal, a few words of greeting followed by   silence He was promoted at work, wore a suit his shoes were polished, and he bought a new car His...

The Vow of Sobriety
Bottles and glasses, left to stand, As time slips through like grains of sand. Often adrift, in a half-conscious sea, This life of escape, it isn't for me. Emotions submerged, a silent tide, Demons within, in darkness, they hide. Endless battles, wear me thin, Against this foe, I cannot win. You've stripped away the friends I knew, My soul you've scarred, no recompense due. You...

Things that go through my brain on a Thursday morning
In the depths of my heart, a shadow dwells, Regret's icy grip, a tale it tells. Missed opportunities, choices made, Unraveled dreams, a path that swayed. Like a phantom, it haunts my waking hours, Whispers of "what ifs" in my inner towers. A constant ache, a gnawing pain, Regret's cruel hold, an endless chain....

Homage To Living a Sober Life
Drop a rock into a still pond, and the ripples echo. A large enough rock, and a pond sized tsunami, waves echoing beyond the edges. Every step I take creates ripples. Sometimes, a tsunami. After all, I'm not screaming in outer space. And the trillions of steps before mine that gave me the ground I walk on, need to be acknowledged by the care I...

The Retreat: Part 9
The Retreat: Part 9 Coming Down The Hill We were warned That the high upon high May not hold or be well-received By the mere mortals below Yet Cliff's Band of Merrymen And bonus babes March forth from Santa's workshops To conquer, resettle The islands of misfits The planets of normies Like vets returning from battle The wars at home continue Some nuclear But mostly whack-a-mole Requiring each sentinel To cover...

Sobriety
I want to seek sobriety everyday I hope to God this sleepless night I pray and pray away the pain tonight I want to be okay as I lay here, decaying like a wilted flower in May I feel this party inside me isn’t over I feel this party outside my range — I don’t want a drink, no thanks...

Time For Change
You were my sunshine, once upon a time. When I stood by your side, day in and day out. Do you remember who raised you for so long? I spent every second surrounded by you. I found security in being needed and my purpose in life was clear. I catered to a life I created and held so dear. My soul longed for you, you saved...
