I could stay drunk for days,
I love the way I can't feel
my legs
or my head
and I can't see
what's in front of me;
I love how I can punch anything
and everything
and not feel it,
and I absolutely love
stumbling home
with ****** knuckles
and laughing at my own
stupidity;
I see inside of myself
when I'm drinking,
I see it all;
all the anger
and the pain,
we don't talk,
just look,
and that is enough,
to know that when I
inform people that there
is so much more to me
than what they see,
and they tell me I'm being
silly,
I know,
I know,
that you exist
I scraped my knee
when you tripped me
But, it's cool
I found a band-aid
so now it doesn't hurt
falling for you.
The difference from you to me
is that I can care for you but you cant care for me
I look at you and wonder
why don't you want to come around anymore
I wonder what I did to you
why you left me alone
I needed you mom
I really did
but you choose the alcohol over me
you drank and drank
but never once thought
how it would affect me and my brothers
nah, you did not
One is always in trouble and does drugs, now he dropped out of school
Me, I got caught for smoking...hoping to get your attention-and failed
the other boy, still loves you and clings to the hope someday you will return
the youngest has forgotten you he doesn't no your name
we needed a mom who could care for us
I needed you most
I needed you when I had my first crush
I needed you when I got my first bra
But you were there for none

but most of all I needed you for things that every child needs
I need you to hold me when I was sad
I need you to be here when time got tough
but instead I was left to fight alone
didn't it occur that it was killing me inside
watching you drink and sleep and drink some more
you weren't always like this...you use to be great
you use to smile, and sing
you were always there to catch me when I fell
but then one day you totally changed
you took to drinking and never gave me a second thought
I cried for you every night
praying for you to change
but you didn't love me enough to stop
and I couldn't handle it, the pain you caused
the sadness that came slowly turned to anger
Now I am a bitter soul and I love you no more
Gazing down at me
In starry eyed brilliance
The apex of your pleasure
Reached with sweated brow
Clenched teeth and moans
Energy released leaves love's scent
Heady. Hazed. Humming.
My body curls into yours
As worked out lungs catch up
To our finish line
tonight we are going away
just for some hours
i wont let you stay
tonight is ours
i like the way you sway
you deserve flowers
from the back of the dray
tonight we are going away
YOU
DONT ALWAYS
HAVE TO BE BRAVE
LET
YOUR WALLS
DOWN...
IT IS OKAY

PEOPLE
ARE HERE
FOR YOU
NO
MATTER
WHAT THE
VOICES
SAY

DON'T BE SCARED
IT WILL ALL
BE FINE
JUST GIVE LIFE
A LITTLE
MORE
TIME

DON'T
END IT NOW
YOU JUST
BARELY
STARTED
TO LIVE
WAIT
IT
GETS
BETTER
This proverbial palace of pen
And paper has room for
Exactly as many as
We are.
Together.
People of Parchment, welcome.
Move in.

Poem has room for your every letter,
Each one of your feelings, all
Pleasure; all hurt.
It's diary, -hallways that go on
Forever-
That you can explore in your mind,
It is birth

Of things that you love, that you see
Your own features in.
Thoughts fit for sharing with minds
Like your own.
It's channel for channeling, channel
For handling the things that arise,
You are never alone.

It's words to the pictures of love
That you witnessed, it's tellings of
Hardships you had
To withstand.
It's more discriptive of lust and of
Pleasure than movies you watch in
The dark with
Your hand.

The Palace of Poem has room for
Each poet. The doors are unlocked,
See the sign: "Vacancy."
Interiour's custom, your personal
Taste as design, and don't ask:  
It is perfectly free.

In here there's no grown-ups,
We're children; just taller.
No bedtime, no said time to eat or
Come home.
In here you can choose to create
When you're crying, or laughing or
Tickled or cut to the bone.
-
It's a palace fit for the Kings and
Queens of Expression
That truly live in your
Every
Mirror.
Katie Price
Had a collection
Of last season's
Brassieres
Which she indexed
With the help
Of a sincere
Bilingual reindeer
Dressed in spandex
Who for some reason
Was single.

Taxonomy
Is so important to me
Said Katie.

So they were labelled
And kept in taxis
At disused angle grinder factories
Near the Tower of Babel
So posterity
Would be able
To analyse
The finer points
Of her physiognomy.

Quite an unusual praxis
And something of an anomaly
For someone like me
Wouldn't you agree?

Cross my heart
And hope to die
I agree.
