Good morning beautiful
Good morning beautiful
let’s get shit-faced and set this town on fire
fill the empty wine bottles with gasoline
and pay our respects in Molotov cocktails
‘cause I’m tired of hiding behind graffiti’d walls
that’ll be painted over in slate-grey boredom
in a week’s time, like we were never there
to mark our territory - dogs of the underground
There is a sweetness in your lips
that no wine can sate or cigarette eradicate
despite the gang of Jehovah Witnesses now attempting
to run our streets and save our souls with stupidity
when we not-so-secretly worship that holy ferment
in fingered prayers to the pagan God of cunts
And we’ve never been so fragile
than when the bottle’s run dry and a bible
is knocking at the front door with the promise of hell
for those that dare take a peek and lick the vellum pages
of history like it’s the latest hallucinogenic trip
In the early hours of the morning
after the fires have been lit and stoked in devotion
we cum our praises and swear solemn oaths
to fuck ourselves to oblivion doused in the grape-fermented
Blood of Christ poured liberally down our throats
staying awake long enough to watch the fire of the sun rise
a picture of hell dawning on the day that we’ll cheers
Molotov cocktails to, on the other side of the grattiti’d wall
we spent our days painting with love and a “fuck you”
Good morning beautiful
You get the bottles
I’ll get the gasoline

Fucking great poem, Indie. Don't know where to start, or even if I should dig in this.
All the lumps of words here are powerful and striking. I love the fuck you to the mundane everyday shit and how you romanticised it.
Good stuff.

I love the explosive use of the word cunt.
It's just beautiful. I'm sorry I don't have anything constructive to say other than well fucking done, love.

Oh hell yeah!..im always in support of inspired drinking, fucking and destruction. Many beautiful lines, and I sense an increasing rate that coincides w the emotional involvement of the author. I dont relate quite so much the christ oriented religious aspect throughout,but only because I wasnt raised w or am around it much. Its more of a curiosity than an impactful element,ehh..blah blah it works fine sorry to clutter your page...that first line makes me curious to hear your voice,great line that could be as beautiful as sedition,if the voice is half of what I imagine...sidenote: if im not mistaken your in recovery,and its interesting to that you would write romantically on intoxication

Thanks so much for your comment LB. I put this in dark because of the terrorist element. I considered erotica, because some of my work does cross the line between dark and erotic, and if I could have put this in spiritual and got away with it, I most definitely would have.
As far as romanticising drugs, alcohol, violence etc I know that what I am writing is art, and not a snippet of reality, because the reality was never as beautiful as my twisted imagination regarding these topics. I think I'm grounded enough now 8 months into recovery to know the difference between art and reality.
I once said I could (probably) make death sound romantic and I've already achieved that lol. Though I don't know if that is brag-worthy.
Thanks again.

Haha...i genuinely just saw that this was sectioned as dark. It might say too much about me but I would never think that...inspirational upbeat perhaps even love or erotic but not dark.(dark for me eliminates all the wonderful grey areas)

Read this the third time. Was silent cause
I can't do a 'great write lol' or 'awesome'.
so I used to sneak in and read and slip away.
Every time i smiled. So high five. There is
no constructive criticism of any sorts. [No need and no wish]
this.is.the.thing.
This is your thing. And I hope to see more of it. It reminded me of Graham Greene and Mansion
at times. Loved the details and the choice of
words. Yes. Cunt was a winner.
S 4, L 7 Did you mean cheer?
I love the end. Nine inch nail.:)
Loved this write. [It came down to this]
Burn some gasoline.

re: :)
Thanks so much for your wonderful feedback Summeet :D I'm glad you took the time to think over your comment. An "awesome" is much less than the wonderful comments you bring. I often refrain from commenting on poems until I can formulate a response better than "omg that's awesome" even if that's what I first thought lol.
S4 L7 Cheers was used in celebratory tone, like cheers'ing glasses of wine, only a lot more violent.
Thanks again
Peace, Indie

Good morning beautiful
that title is one of my favourite things to hear or read... i smile every time... it fills me with a mood of intimacy and fondness; then the poem crashes into its beginning, and i get such a close comraderie out of the whole mischeivous thing. it jarred me just a little until i adjusted into 'good morning' being the middle of the night, but man, it is awesome. rousing read, Indie, and beautiful voice work as always, Missy.

Breathtakingly raw. Strong and awakening, no syrup-like bosh but articulate and spiky words. Love your style.

Pick a subject, pick an abstract-If You Wrote it-I'm reading it!!!
The energy is quite bombastic- I felt like an outlaw for a minute :)
Dig the reading as well-Kudos Missy!!!
(The Monkey Wrench Gang) emotive-wise this is what it felt like to me (and the only book I have to draw on-in this vein)
But be sure it is not mistaken for anything but Genuine Indie Ink!!!

Thank you so much souladareatease :) That's quite a compliment. So cool I got you to feel like an outlaw. This piece is one of my faves (if I'm allowed to have a fave piece of my own work.) And Missy does the reading brilliantly. I think it's her Brit accent, she makes it so much sexier than me with my Aussie one.

Love the imagery and the connection of sexual passion to religion. I always have been against social masturbation and I have never seen it more than when I went to church.
Urban, Anarchy, Revolution. Strongly worded poem. Keep it coming, I loved it.
