Midnight at the Voodoo Lounge
Midnight at the Voodoo Lounge
Get your prissy self to serving drinks
You know the boss
Don’t like you popping Benzedrine
On break time
Sure you look like a 40s starlet
In that red dress with all the frills
But if you get jazzed on those pills
You might start spiking their cocktails
With crazy medicine
We might have the men
Giving the women a pat down
Like in airport security
When the camera isn’t looking
The ladies would stop patronizing us
Then the men would vanish
Like the wooly mammoths
And...

Clear Haiku
Crystal clarity
In glass, a pure reflection
Warmth in cold embrace.

Red Red Wine
I kissed my friend's red ruby lip
and vowed we'd never part,
and stroked her neck and took a sip
to warm my cold, cold heart.
I caressed her shoulder all dewy eyed
as on her lip I kiss and kiss,
her smoothness soothed me nigh to cry
such sweetness I had long, long missed.
I'd loved her from my very first
when her spirit suffused through me
such pleasure I thought I would burst
and for a time she set me free...
She was gone during that short dark night
when I woke I cursed her near to dead, ...
and vowed we'd never part,
and stroked her neck and took a sip

These Pills
A pill for what makes me mad,
A pill for what makes me sad.
A pill to aid my diet,
A pill to keep my mind quiet.
Big pharma give me more,
Take my money,
Treat me like your whore.
Minimal side effects you swore,
Sell those meds, Doctor's profits sore.
You have great insurance,
My body has no more endurance.
Take them till the day you die,
We will cover up our little lie.
Pain you say?
Big pharma, hear them yelp..
"Its just a small needle,
And later you'll need help."

Too Late
The screams come,
mothers and fathers
brothers and sisters
sons and daughters
friends and neighbors
another soul lost
another lifeless body
another one gone
oxy,percs,vicodin
or The Big H
a sea of opioids
so easy to drown,
a scream within
a scream for help
a scream not heard
until the end.

Comrade Self Destruct.
It feels like something.
Serious.
Is creeping behind my perceptions.
Ruining the high I do got.
Stalking me.
Hunting me with the ever present concern for.
Withdrawal symptoms.
The Police.
Any sort
of calamity.
And, is there enough euphoria to power me through this doldrums.
But, that's my prerogative.
Guilt and shame arise in my subconscious.
Cause I keep getting an intrusive thought.
That the cops are coming.
Someone knows something.
I'm dying.
Or
have I transcended. ...

In the case of Me versus Addiction
I'd love to know
what scared me so much
about myself
to have ended up
parked in a lay-by
chasing my life away
God knows I was on top
of the world
thought I had it beat
some poems back
but in the end
my mind wasn't with it
took weeks
for it to catch up
and I'd love to tell you
'bout how much hell turkey...

High Write
Was challenged to do it and that is why
i am writing this poem while exceedingly high
i had it all planned a definite route but
i've forgotten what i was going to write about
No matter i'll make it up as i go on
Look there's Tony Blair riding a swan
This is more fun than i thought it would be
Except for the fact that you're looking at me
i may do something drastically unusual
Or just continue to tease and abuse you all
When the time comes i'll know it i'm sure
i simply love the feel of orangutan fur
It's all wrong and it's going...
