it's time to change
Here I am as I reflect upon my own life and where I've been and gone through in the last four years. 😔. For it's true that we sometimes pick up habits during the course of our lives. 😞 YET not thinking about the damages, that we do to our own body and soul and mind. 😲 Let's dive into the deepness, of the mind and spiritual soul of the truth, about what we have done 🤔 over time. 🤫 But yet it is necessary, to be able to be honest with thyself, for sure no matter what type of drugs, we took into our own body over time it will affect us, in the long term....

I don’t wanna come down
like a fuckin drug baby
coursin thru veins
dialatin eyes
desperate hands
seekin moment of peace
from the chaos inside
electric chemistry
disguised as a kiss
body instantly surrenderin to relief
as we dissolve
in each other’s bloodstream
til shoulders drop their weight
silencin the world
as our lips find each other
that hell inside
fadin to whispers
durin those stolen moments
tomorrow brings the comedown
but tonight is the fuckin remedy
coursin thru veins
dialatin eyes
desperate hands
seekin moment of peace
from the chaos inside
electric chemistry
disguised as a kiss
body instantly surrenderin to relief
as we dissolve
in each other’s bloodstream
til shoulders drop their weight
silencin the world
as our lips find each other
that hell inside
fadin to whispers
durin those stolen moments
tomorrow brings the comedown
but tonight is the fuckin remedy

no more (this is my stop sign)
No more loss
no more loss
I sit and wait
for your message
I sit and wait
for one more thing
to break me
...
Visions in my head
bottle of vodka
drink it down
Blink
Blackout
Wake up anywhere
wake up anywhere but here
Wake up
still myself
Blink
Blackout
Wake up
buy cheap wine instead
dissolve into the pale gold
Blink
Blackout
Wake up
start a fight
Blink
Blackout
Wake...
no more loss
I sit and wait
for your message
I sit and wait
for one more thing
to break me
...
Visions in my head
bottle of vodka
drink it down
Blink
Blackout
Wake up anywhere
wake up anywhere but here
Wake up
still myself
Blink
Blackout
Wake up
buy cheap wine instead
dissolve into the pale gold
Blink
Blackout
Wake up
start a fight
Blink
Blackout
Wake...

That's What I Get For Dating A Sex Addict
While sipping on some
champagne, Natalie looked with
angry eyes at Chris
cheating on her with Alice,
Benedict's sexy mistress.

CRACK'S CODE BLUE
Crack kills and that’s no joke!
It once killed my pocket broke
As my luggage wheel struck the sidewalk crack
And my worn-out heel cracked outback!
I wibbled-wobbled on a cracked low-pump heel
As a zoo waddling seal!
I took a tumble to the ground
Onto the soiled and grassy ground
And, as I fell, I cracked my nail
The pain flushed me pail!
Cracks – cracks – all these cracks
On roadsides, sidewalks, and bicycle tracks
And, can I have you believe, I heard a crack
On a duck’s resounding “Quack! Quack! Quack” ...

dreaming of mother
it did not happen that way
or I would have remembered it so
you were always so fond of the lie
which put toe into truth, cold truth,
and fashioned straw snowmen
which didn't exist
can you not rip that memory
from that cardboard covered thing
you recorded all those shall we say
delusions? No one wished to kill
you as you slept so why the mawkish dummies that you made
of clothing beneath the spread--they
would have fooled no one
as you sought trembling sleep ...

Craved by death and the grave but not today
Hooray although scathed I played and got away
Time flies good bye bye
Hurry up and seize the day today
BE THAT AS IT MAY they say
Come on let come what may my way
So little time remains yet
There's so much still left to say
Mayday Mayday
Mqybe everything will be okay someday
Displaced today from this dretched dismay
How everything was kept then swept away
Disgraced this way in a rant I rave
Cliches fillet in this escapade
Like the birds of...

temptation’s kiss
you press against my eager lips
bold and demandin
the way forbidden things always are
your burn flowin over my tongue
liquid smoke and honey
claimin me from the inside
taste of oak and sin
as you slide down my throat
markin me with your heat
my body respondin to your touch
a familiar ache spreadin thru me
as your warmth becomes mine
stumblin into your embrace
addicted to this blissful surrender
secret lover creatin and erasin pain
patient in your seduction
knowin I’ll always...

Do you have compassion
I will always follow you to the end of time, for I will follow you in my need to sustain my life, for I will follow you as you have inspire me to think for thyself 🤔 in all my life situations, that seems to have me feeling like I'm drowning, in the sea of death and fear. 😨 For sure I will always follow you, as my thoughts become dangerous, to my own well being. 😞 For sure I will follow you as my life, becomes filled with nothing but confusion, and negative vibes, driving 😕 me on a two way street, yet going the wrong way. 😕 AS if I got a death wish that...

Fight to live
Eighteen dollars to her name
Can’t survive, it’s all the same
In need of food for her kids
Drugs & booze the way she lives
No ambition to get a job
Unless it’s slobbing on someone’s knob
How much lower can you go
You’ll be remembered as a filthy ho
You must fight to live
You must fight to live
You must fight to live
Inside your fucked up selfish mind
Sleazy strip malls is where you hang
Beware the rats with long sharp fangs
Behind the store to get your fix
Fever ignored, getting real sick
...

Pathetic!!
Rats chewed the hands, lips and nose off a four month old baby in a fleabag apartment building across the street from me. The mother was on PCP. She had her head in the oven trying to kill herself. I asked her if she needed assistance. She said no. I helped her anyway.
People are so pathetic!!
People are so pathetic!!
