I Want To Remember This

You’re asleep next to me right now 
Drunk after only 4 tallboys
While a 6 pack and 2 tallboys has me Barely buzzed. 
I don’t know if you remember,
But I tucked you in
Put on some cartoons
And caressed you 
Until you 
Fell asleep. 
You’re snoring 
But every time
Your breathing lulls
I pull you close
Until
The snoring starts 
Again. 
Some may find it annoying, 
But I know
It just means
You’re ok with me.

Playtime’s Over

I am but a child, 
Sitting in a 
Garden,
Eating the dirt. 

I told
The fairies what
You did
And how you
Hurt me. 

I hope that
In another life,
You are an ant
And I am a child
With a 
Magnifying glass.

The Hunt

There’s something at the bottom of This bottle. 
I know it. 
Not quite sure what it is yet,
But there’s something down there;
There has to be. 
Is it a solution?
God no. 
Is it a sense of satisfaction?
Most definitely not. 
But the process of finding 
Whatever it is
Sometimes gives me 
A temporary sense of peace. 
Sometimes. 
Most times though…
Let’s not focus on that. 
Focus on the warm and fuzzy feeling
I get from my search. 
If it feels this good now, 
It has to feel that much better
When I find whatever’s down there. 
I don’t know what’s down there,
But I’ll drown trying to find it.

Be Here Now

What is here?
What is now?
Suffering is 
Here
Now. 
Pain is
Here 
Now. 
Why do I have to
Be Here Now? 
I want to escape. 
I want to 
Tear off this 
Meatsuit 
And be free of it. 
But Ram Dass said
I have to
Sit with 
The pain. 
Sit with
The suffering. 
And 
Be 
Here
Now.
