Mass, communion,

Ale for the Ail
Closing my eyes
as I savor this moment
with big gulps of treasure.
Pretty soon, my mind is buh-bye,
drowning the torment.
Looking forward to the pleasure.
Tilting the bottle
to get those drops of goodness
that I need in my life.
Emotions at full throttle,
I must confess
I am riddled with strife.
Looking for satisfaction
in this cylindrical phenomenon
where my worries are diminished.
I enjoy the distraction.
Yes, I am gone.
I need another; I am not finished.

(32) Repeat.Intoxication.Process (R.I.P.) 02/01/2016 @ 3:11pm
Cocaine, marijuana, meth, pills and alcohol.
Fantasizing to be free both mentally & physically.
Will I seek help anytime soon?
Will I ever be high enough to reach the moon?
I lost my self control, I have no sense of hope.
The day will come, I’ll fatality drop from dope.
Unstable by the teardrop.
Countless narcotics, it’s a one stop shop.
Penny for your thoughts?
I’m drunk and nauseous, stomach knots.
Why am I breaking speed limits?
Will the drugs ever be off-limits?
I’m running on adrenaline!
In the dark,...

Habitual Dependence
Will you catch me this time if I fall?
your support has become a hindrance
the last several times I hit bottom real hard
I'm trying desperately to release the demons
it isn't easy when your neglected without assistance
you've said you loved me and you know that I love you
is it a lie?
i need you now, more then ever before
please, be by my side
we said years back through thick & thin
bonded together we'll always win
The dream is crumbling
reality is a curse
your support has become a hindrance
the last several times I hit bottom real hard
I'm trying desperately to release the demons
it isn't easy when your neglected without assistance
you've said you loved me and you know that I love you
is it a lie?
i need you now, more then ever before
please, be by my side
we said years back through thick & thin
bonded together we'll always win
The dream is crumbling
reality is a curse

Recreational drugs
I’m smelling fucking colours
I’m seeing through the stars
My eyes have become portals
My body’s up on Mars
I think I’ve become Woody
I think I’ve become Buzz
No wait, I’m actually Bullseye
Ha-ha I’m actually sars
My anatomy is changing
My cells have become cars
The wheels on this bus are turning
On this clock you have my heart
My minds morphed into numbers
Speech has become blurred
Language into music
Pictures into words
Take me to your mother
Ask her, would she take me? ...

(26) Life As I Know It V.XIII.MMXV @ 4:04pm
Drugs ignite twisted perceptions.
Times are rough, that’s an expectation.
Everything the world does is meaningless.
Life keeps teaching us.
In the bathroom reflecting on events that occurred.
Scribbling it down as I’m flying like a bird.
Hoping one day these painful rhymes get recognized.
Miserable memories linger, my family cries.
Life’s a twisted dimension, swirling in circles.
Roaming dark alleyways, smoking on some purple.
I don’t have enough reasons to live nor end it.
Regardless, I can’t split.
I’m not the one...

A friend and a foe
Hello old friend we need to talk about the good times and the bad.
When our love was strong you kept me safe me through all the pain I had.
When i was hurt and sad the more you got involved.
The more we were together our bond did grow and that is when we evolved.
You confused me with lust and lies, I did not want to live with out you.
So many walls around my heart you wouldn't let anyone get threw.
I blindly burnt down bridges gasoline and matches in my hand.
Life time bonds crash at at my feet, in the past I could not understand.
I have had some time...

A TRIBUTE TO MRS. ZINN (I Love You)
Sadness covered the earth, as.the
chariot came,
And silence fell, like gentle rain.
Friends and loved ones mourned the
day
The angels came to take her home to
stay.
But, lo, the Heavens burst forth with
delight,
As another Saint came into sight!
Prepare the choir, open the gates...
Sound the trumpet, the King
awaits!!
"Welcome, my child, we've been
waiting for you!
Your mansion's prepared and your
robe is too.
Enter your home, Here,sit on my
right...
You'll be dining at the Head Table ...
