Come With Me
I stood in the drive
Next to my Plymouth Sundance
That day in the mountains
Asked you to take a chance
Been doing this so long
There's nothing left here
Come on baby take my hand
Disregard the fear
I said
What's keeping you here
What's keeping us down
What's coming around the corner now
What's stopping us from leaving this town
Why don't you want to come with me
I packed my boxes
Drove alone, left you there
I-95, heading south ...

Alcohol
I had entered the blue lights
And fog of the joint
Mostly to become oblivious
Tip of elbow
And Gin colicky
By sunken treasured
Green olive
No pimento
To dissolve through the juniper taste
Salty swill
And swilling
And would to the extent
Of almost un noticing
The cantor of would be stallions
Surrounding my bender
Their prance intent
On heightening my heel
A good five inches
That oblivion
Hooked
Spiked over
Curved steel
To balance Gin effects
Over the bottom of ...

Dependency
For the first time really
Looking into alcohol self dependency
Never have had an addictive personality
Don't even drink that much
Yet the pattern has always been daily
A friend recently said the same thing
Got me thinking
Not a wine drinker
An occasional beer
For me it's whiskey
Straight no chaser
Ice at the most
Sleep then is haphazard
Dreams I'd rather forget
Last night it was Gatorade Zero
Now there's a switch
No proclamations of quitting here
Writing it is good therapy
Knowing my...

Rye
This juice is a motherfucker
Different from bourbon
Kissing cousins
We know how that turns out
Got me dreaming in weird realities
Hard to fathom
More than 1/2 the bottle to go
I’ll get back to you
Leave a messsge

No Booze
It's been 2 nights
Mini detox
Not quitting
More of a pause
I love booze
Even lovers need a break from each other
Sometimes I'll say to myself
"I'll just quit"
Then I'd miss the burn and glow on my lips
Beautiful bourbon
Miraculous rye
Demon vodka
Trifecta of paradise

Fate
Did I choose my own fate?
Did I need something to hate?
Why did I relate
to this kind of bait?
The thoughts in my head
I wish you were dead
Those words never said
Actions not led
Try as I might
I didn't take flight
I knew what was right
I always said might
In the darkest night
always a fright
I needed the light
a beautiful sight
A protective cocoon
like still in my womb
The door opens...boom
I feel the doom
I control the emotion
with my devotion
Go...

Drinking Rubbing Alcohol
My cousin's sister died four years before he did. She died in 2015. She was addicted to a prescription drug. Her name was Christine. I don't know what kind of pill that she was hooked on. All that I know is that it was a prescription drug.
She was unable to get the pills and she did something that wasn't smart. She believed that drinking rubbing alcohol would be the same as taking the pills. She drank some and it killed her. She suffered tremendously. She didn't die immediately though. She lived for a few months and then she died. I don't know how much she drank but it was enough...

Stay in Your Aisle
Visual Poem
She no longer believed in fairytales and happily ever afters
Life and love had left her jaded
Too cynical to harbor dreams
of being dressed in white lace
with the sand between her toes
reciting leaking vows
underneath an alter
adorned with dying flowers
- a foreboding foreshadowing of romance dying slowly over time.
She never would understand why the world insisted on taking something so beautiful
out of its natural habitat
just to...

Careful, Man, There's A Beverage Here!
There's a phantom in the
hallway to my heart,
the thing just screams.
I try to drink it quiet
but it never really shuts up
even at the bottom of a bottle
I can still hear a shrill hum.
Fucking A, dude.
hallway to my heart,
the thing just screams.

pubs
you won't be allowed groups
of people huddled together whispering in corners anymore;
it's a bloody conspiracy ..

Overton’s Army
I’ve written so much
shit that I have to
search my archives just
to make sure I haven’t
already written it
the hivemind demands
total capitulation, but
I’d rather die destitute
on the street
and I’m not even brave
enough to reveal my
real name
the pains of being
pure of heart
I’m a sheltered
lunatic
I’ve earned this, bit
by bit
you can’t write a
script
you know nothing
about character
development!
you’ve been...
