Accursed Poppy
Jumping from my skin
Hair-raising flashes and waves
Like winter breezes
Haunted yawns howling
Visionary eyes tearing
Decrepit visage
Memories of sun
Fading obliviously
Looking outward dark
Nervously stretching
Tensley vasoconstricted
Muscle and tendon
Knee jerk reaction
Kicking and thrashing non-stop
Craving more dope
Obsessing over
Symptoms unrelenting still
Focusing...

Waste
I fell in
Again
Halfway down
A bottle of bliss
Wasted the day
And now I’m pissed
And all I hear
Inside my ear
Is the reprimand
For my error
And then I see
It so clear
Facing me
In the mirror
Again
Halfway down
A bottle of bliss
Wasted the day
And now I’m pissed
And all I hear
Inside my ear
Is the reprimand
For my error
And then I see
It so clear
Facing me
In the mirror

Intoxicated
Glinting with a mystical majesty
Painted in surreal clouds of fantasy
Wherever do you hide, my love
Your luster has dulled with time
…
Malignant spirits, in the dead of night
Seek to unravel the tortured mind
With lips that shimmer of the poison
You swore you’d never taste again
…
Lessons you’re forced to relive
No other is quite as powerful as:
We never lose our demons
We only learn to live above them
Painted in surreal clouds of fantasy
Wherever do you hide, my love
Your luster has dulled with time
…
Malignant spirits, in the dead of night
Seek to unravel the tortured mind
With lips that shimmer of the poison
You swore you’d never taste again
…
Lessons you’re forced to relive
No other is quite as powerful as:
We never lose our demons
We only learn to live above them

Insomnia
Today is day three of restless, sleepless nights
I’ve called out of work, can’t focus, called out twice
I’ve taken my pills, but they don’t help me sleep
I’m tossing in bed, now I’m starting to weep
I’m crying and shaking, I sit down outside
Can’t control my emotions, I’m empty inside
I feel like I’m lonely, feel sad and depressed
No sleep isn’t helping, it’s all ’cause of stress
But there’s nothing in life that’s bothering me
I don’t care about me, hold my breath, count to three
I don’t care that you left, you are better off now ...
I’ve called out of work, can’t focus, called out twice
I’ve taken my pills, but they don’t help me sleep
I’m tossing in bed, now I’m starting to weep
I’m crying and shaking, I sit down outside
Can’t control my emotions, I’m empty inside
I feel like I’m lonely, feel sad and depressed
No sleep isn’t helping, it’s all ’cause of stress
But there’s nothing in life that’s bothering me
I don’t care about me, hold my breath, count to three
I don’t care that you left, you are better off now ...

share a cigarette and win a friend
Share a cigarette and win a friend
a leading newspaper, I read an article written by a pompous
and opinionated person, a story about cigarettes he didn't
understand since, in his goodness, he has never smoked fags or
danced barefoot in a winter park or been in love at dawn
when I was young, cigarettes were the thing a social life without
a group having a laugh and smoking was unheard of
there were still tobacco shops selling cigarettes individually
buy one if the money is tight and smoke the sigs in the shop
The shop I knew had two ladies...

Brighter
Saw you in a dream last night
House full of strangers
Flickering bulbs devoid of light
Something seemed off
You lazily smiled
Blank eyes told me the cause
Concern meshed with my wasted mind
I woke thinking I'd see you soon
But your future was reassigned
Death came calling without warning
Years of friendship
Replaced with a lifetime of mourning
It was good to see you while I slept
Seems you were sending me a reminder
Ten years since your last breath
A reminder...
To live in a...

the cook and his sister
the cook and his sister
once I was a poet blinded by the shiny pebbles, by the shore
of purity and heart delight, but it was not to be
although it was said about me in India, this man is really innocent
My sister stood crying at the railway station in Montreal
so, what are the tears for Are you not alive
you silly girl; I have been dead for 44 years
and you think you have forgotten
can forget about real life, anyway
I have never been
in Montreal, especially now that I'm dead
you should see the main street in Montreal
it is...

Give me that Drink!
Give me that drink, I need time to think, let it all rot, I care for the lot, every day of my God-damned life
Making amends with the bestest of friends, the sweet taste of courage on my tongue
Give me a drink I need time to think, wash it away with my sorrows
Double the strife, play fate with the dice and quench my thirst for revenge
A drink, a drink, my friends to the end
A smile on my lips as I drain her dry
Born from a thirst that will never die
The sweet ferment
Brings me warmth
