Popular Drugs Poems

you were the best of me
for a little while
and i thought
we'd break on through,
you and me,
the way we moved,
light
but solid,
your smile
cool on my lips
and fingers
like an angel's in my hair
and the worst of everything
tucked away,
the world
suddenly small enough
to fit in my pocket
and goddamn, sweet thing,
we didn't
give a shit
for any of it

but it's common knowledge
it don't last,
that you always take
more than give
and turn gold to shit
and bleed...

The moment I found out
there can actually be
silence in the mind.

I cried.

I didn't even think that was a possibility.
The brain is a train that never stops,
and yet it does. Holy shit.

Doing fancy ninja kicks down the street
microdosing psilocybin is
a mental retreat.

I remember making that call,
When I finally found you again,
I can still recall hearing your voice,
You broke down –
  With a hallelujah and an amen.

I couldn’t believe it when I saw you,
You had turned into an old man,
But I was happy that we found you,
As you hobbled –
  I didn’t really comprehend.

I had imagined you somewhat different,
As you had been thirteen years before,
But the things which happened to you,
Took away so much –
    All that you loved and more.

The good word had always...

Now old, (chronic) diseased, and and no longer
     "desirable" as pertains to intimacy. One might
                                   say
"Time. Time Time wha'th'Fuck has become of
                                   Me?"
Well, kids........my Me has always been an ill'usion.
   and when ye Believe ill'usion(s) be Real, they
       turn into (like magic!) De-lusion(s).
(d'ye dig what I'm sayin'?)
 
                                     Now, looky here.  I don't pre'tend to
                                                          ...

My shackles shake
Born of a Material world.

Leaping sands
Leave familiar footprints.

This is the path
Of madness.

It's a cold path
But this path
Lies ahead.

And then impact
But not like before
Sensation
Awareness.

Awakenings!

God I love a drink!
