Faux Daddy 2
I’m your sickness
Codeine and Sprite
Pulling you down
Into my lair of last rites
I’m your addict
Artist, poet and troubadour
Outta red
Slitting my wrist
I need that color bad
I’m your admirer
Old but hard and vigilant
You don’t understand this attraction
Yet you won’t let me leave
I put you on a pedestal
Half looking at your ass
Or up your dress
I put you on a pedestal
I understand your mess
It goes on and on
I’ll never stop coming for you
You like the attention

Could be a Bukowski mirror or just my ongoing story ...

The crimson of life, of blood,.........of life and death. But I also like the emerald green of hope.........Excellent painting, as usual. Regards, Robert.

As I was reading I kept thinking how Bukowski-esque, then you mentioned it. I was at a bookstore a couple of weeks ago and I was about to pick up a book on him (now I'll order it for sure).
Tremendous work.

It's funny, this poem didn't get much play and I thought it would so I'm glad to get your comment Wally. Bukowski was quite a legend in his time. Not sure how he would play in today's PC world. I really liked his novels Post Office and Ham on Rye ...
Guess if he were around today he'd be here with us in the underground....
Thx Wally

So funny thing I like to brag about is that I attended the same high school he did (50 years apart).
You're right, today's society would have a field day with him because he didn't have that filter and spoke what he felt. He really stood out from the rest.

What I admired most about him was his need to produce writing. He wrote day after day, hour after hour. Basically he was a writing machine …
Admirable that need …
