No Poetry
no beauty will be uttered
from these lips today
poetic horizons
have turned to ash
blown away
by the monster
called pain
see I hurt today
too much alcohol
the culprit
my stomach is doing flips
body aches
mind in a stupor
singing the hangover blues
you took the last whiskey train out of here
leaving me pale
sick & twisted
your spirit impaled me
released my demons
as I was forced to swallow them
one by one
they went down hard
choking on my own gorge
as my stomach convulsed
all for that mellow feeling
to quiet the internal storms
the devil has his ways
he enters silently
creeps up on you
slips inside & takes control
with wild giggles
the spirits have their way
as you leak from both sides of your mouth
the things they would have you say
you took the last whiskey train out of here
took my poetry with you
left me aching
without a thought to spill

This really hit a nerve with me Crim. I'm dealing with some aches and pains and it helps to know I'm not alone. I just wish I could describe the pain with your kind of eloquence. You address the psychological and emotional aspects just as well and with incredible flair. Excellent write.

Re. No Poetry
Oh by all means that whiskey train is always leaving A shattered mark trying to get control of that HANGOVER. Eh, time draws near for yet another blast of rotgut, or primetime whisky and you find yourself doing it all over again. Ain't we got fun though?
I don't think what I say counts for much. Sad. Guess I am too intense.

You have a very descriptive way of writing that allows the reader to visualize and relate to you.
You remain in my heart.

Love sucks,
then you try to drown it
in a bottle of whiskey
only to find he drank you
to the last drop ...
pills won`t do; they
don`t have the same effect;
a hangover only reminds you
that your pain from his
was real ...
Please get better;
there`s more tall drinking whiskey`s
still out there ... ;)
~love you, my Queen ... Devlin

"no beauty will be uttered
from these lips today " - what a fantastic falsehood as evidenced by these gems that followed:
"your spirit impaled me"
"as you leak from both sides of your mouth"
"left me aching
without a thought to spill"
nice job!

You begin by stating there will be no beauty emitted by you and then immediately prove yourself wrong. Beauty in the dark, dark angel. Your pen will bleed no other color.. beauty in its many shades. I do hope the pain eases soon.

That train always howls in the distance,
reminding us just how much we'd like
be on it, riding the rails.
Still, you write with an achingly beautiful passion,
taking us along for the ride.
And no one should have to ride alone...

Unfortunately you can't escape from pain... you can numb it, to find it out comes back with a vengeance...
"the devil has his ways
he enters silently
creeps up on you
slips inside & takes control" > amazing lines, the same can be said about depression...
Great write, dear Crim!
Love, Duende

My Beautiful Brenda....oh how I can relate to this as you well know...I have been away for quite a spell and keeping me company were these lines....brilliant!
"all for that mellow feeling
to quiet the internal storms

with wild giggles

as you leak from both sides of your mouth

You've captured this darkness with perfection! I love you so much
Love Taryn xoxo
