Got a wishstick.. All blazen with glory
Got a human from birth tilted story
From a skyline the thunder cracks
From the pavement he shudders to care
Like a boy
Like a man
Like a missile
Like a play
To well be born
To conjure best
To reinvent
This heaven scent.
It's mud you know
Thick sludge to fall
Play the piper
Play the role of navigator

She is him like he's in her
Like mother father maternal birth of no ones claim.
Drink like a fish tide
Swallowing pride
Galvanize this heavy prize.

Addictions affliction
Go chase God's wheel
The black is tar stained
Lamps gyrate
their glowing mourn

Hills high rescue.. mountain tops.

Sky so blistered
Hearts on fire.. yes
Shakesfears moan

To mute intention
As the castle gates draw back
Faith in reason
Citing gloom
Blue black the shields
As arrows fly
She's in him
Soft ashes cry

Custodian blue ornament
Oh weathered tomb.

In swamps grey haze
Do whispers charm.

Must disappear
Stark punching grims
Clench muscle whisks
That stir up harm

This cultured valley of dinosaurs

Hello banquet your good denied
Helios this burning prize.

Happenstance go cheap on earth
Retaliate white bonfires cloud
All a nonsense in afterlife

Pulsing thin
Reverberate this blowtorch
This blastcage fire
Eyes alight

Temper semester
Born of fuel
Ism grates behavioural noons into midnights cave

Dust goes moaning
Tidal waves come crashing
Glass in sand in hand stark warning

Sober means go dive deep in
Parachute got lost
So base jump from turrets
Trusting you

Every shade in colours hue.

Good to be here
Good to breathe
It's 2 am
I'm in reprieve

Got indigestion
Sausage heave
Ate late my dinner
Windy breeze

Moral is stay off the booze
Then cook up dinner
Before suppers here
Lest go to bed tense unease
Tossing turning knotting sheets
Clenching cursing not again
Up alnight soaked in sweat.

early sobriety
four years ago
i presented
a similar show

rollercoaster
tilt-a-whirl
flying teapot
wanna hurl

anxiety waves
please hit the beach
simple sanity
far from reach

existential
who am i
scuse me
while i kiss this guy

but here i am
i'm not a mess
before sunrise
dressed to impress

new life new job
a sense of purpose
no more flailing
like a wet ass porpoise

Well I'll take it on from here...

Golden sand ocean's breeze
Great to hear ya
Going well
Keep it rising
Through the swell.
Sober life walk
Refreshing mornings
Off to carry inspiring stories
All's a glitter all's a gas
Just got to haul out lazy ass!
Stay walking tall
Life's not a beach
But its a call
We each much reach.

Dog is God in mirrors view
God is dog right back at you
My dog is love
My God is love
My sober self is strong enough.
So happy 2018 you
Hope you see it sober thru!

poems can say what prose cannot
if prose is a booger
then poetry's snot
say it dry and dig it out
or let it flow
from brain
through
snout

Some call it a disease
I call it scars
Like a gale from beyond mars the red planet all it's bazaars
A fizzcore of bomb filled head clouds
An annoyance cold
A tripwire shiver dance
In the midst of it all.

Fester cut lonesome boy
Solitary spark
No more gasoline today
Earth rammed breathing core.

Hello halo mirror clean
Feels warm like summer sun
Hello halo sober me
Got guns from navarone

Gentle tender no agenda
Just prioritising you
All is well in zero land
Safe haven harbour's view.

Feel a bit lonely
Just retiring to my bed
Happy sober Sunday.

back in the day we had quite a crew
of poets who let their brainsauce spew
but these days folks seem all so serious
poetry's just too vague and mysterious
folks seem to wanna be understood
to be obtuse is just no good
see me love me comprehend me
from my pain will you please rend me
but i come here to let it out
there's no need to beg or shout
so what if it falls not on eyes
i'm not here to get replies
i'm not here for dopamine
but try not to be too obscene
catharsis is what this does for me
now scuse me cuz i gotta pee

Exquisite madness
Solitude badness
Mixed emotions
Heavenly notions
Incomprehensible
Neat dishevelled
Racing mind
Quite sublime
Futures past
Firstly last
Sober alcoholic
Bland psychedelic
Gutless Fortitude
Serenity mood.

bland psychedelic
ain't a thing
unless your blotter
has no zing
dry old paper
never soaked
butthead dealer
not a joke

Mopping up the fury
With perspiration
Bedtime story imagination
Buckets of core white
Flaming glories
Holding hands kiss.. .
Broken quarries.

Did I do well
You did on your own well
Keeping secrets shadowlands
Fearing fear primal assault.

It's haphazards gap
Through which to fall
Beneficial this Tigers banquet
Wild packs in woods heavy crawl spill.

Sugar come close
Let me smell your colours
Closing eyes into immersion
King and queen

This lofty road kills
This lofty road lifts
This lofty skuttle knows no qualms
Seizing heaven from moods that harm.

Everyone's an a$$hole,
Everyone like me.
Everyone's an a$$hole.
Just you wait and see.
If you're not an a$$hole,
I give you a minute.
You'll become an a$$hole.
'Cause we both are in it.

Tad twam asi. You are that.
If you're thin and I am fat,
My weight's yours and your bones mine.
When you go to chop the tree,
You are cutting into me.
You're the axe, the trunk, the vine.

maybe opinion
or maybe fact
your little poem's
a tad abstract
if you are i
and i am you
perhaps there's nothing
left to do
but recognize
the trunk and axe
are one and the same
we all have cracks
