(sigh!) A REVERIE

SomeOne told me

"Everything you need to know

you learned in kindergarten."

Everything I learned 

in kindergarten...

I forgot!

WAIT! I remember! There

I kissed my first--no, 

second girl...lovely hair!

I had slept with one older

--she was eight--I told her

we  were too young

Too young for what?

Neither knew.

We just blew

into each others ear

until we could not hear.

All wet in there.

Hot night

Wet night

Sweat night

Didn't DO anything...

Well, we kissed,

hissed, ummm

and  missed.

Never let me say

I'd not live it again

Because, my friend

Ever have I lived such

sweeter life. If only better

I might remember

my kindergarten days. WOW!

And between then and now:

drunked, drugged,

eons, it seems, of

that. Past is past,

so "Live and Love"

PEACE to you, Peeps.

My motto:  
BE JOYFUL with me!

SPINNING IN 4TH DIMENSION

 

House, in such darkness,
The kind which in time you'd see
Ever so few, ever so slightly
Outlines of form
In dank and dark dorm
My body was so worn
Spirit completely torn
And there was me
On the floor. Yes, I'd be
Trying to grab onto...anything

Room spinning
Alcohol winning
It was that last drink
Don'tcha just know...

All right--the FIRST drink!
Without which there could not BE
A 'next' one or a 'last'...then,
Way too late for me to see
Rising up to meet me--the floor
Head on
Dead on

Oh! How I tried
And how cried
but tried once more

to keep myself level
feet even with head
climbed onto unmade bed
Keeping eyes blinking
Willing them stay open

Room going round and round
Me, listening for any sound
Water somewhere dripping, leaking
voices hushed, softly speaking

"Here's one, still breathing.
Barely alive...seething.
He almost escaped the planet"

Using a needle, they sent me
On a physical and mental journey
Of pleasantness"

What ever had happened?
That long time ago when
Life went round the bend
Had climbed aboard the Merry-Go-Round.
I was on, could not get off!
Organ grinding, still hear the sound

Endless sound--YEARS! Round and round
More and more, around and fast
Wondered how long my bottle would last
Recalled those short shots of my past
And a prayer of mine, so old
Escaped my heart--to my brain (so bold?)

My God, please
Oh, let me be
One who cannot see
Anything, any more
Except what's in front of me.
