27 Club
Ben A Jenkins Dec 2010
How will it all end?
We will never know I suppose.
Just guessing,
I'd say that 2012 can't come soon enough for those.
Those who fret and panic daily.
Those who say that we're all crazy.
Lazy days are dead and gone,
now have the will to carry on.
Left again to my device.
I turned away to find a life.
But live young man and do it fast.
27 in 2012 looks like a blast.

COLLABO
Ben A Jenkins Nov 2010
Watch the sun rise one more time
It'll just go right back down again
The moon, again, floats on by
Changing tides and lighting
skies.                        


There's this hallowed path we take
This whisper in the vines
Don't stumble there my little friend
You haven't much more time
No sleep, no rest no stopping now
The future looks so bright
As we look ahead again
On toward the morning light


Less dark left, the light comes soon
Born again to light the room
Along it brings a brand new day
Again one more has ticked away

Three-thousand and, six-hundred ticks
I pray to God that this one sticks
Cause heaven knows I've felt the ******
This winter's gonna be a *****
And God forbid you start to itch


The weather here is getting cold
I feel it in my bones
And with the cold a chapter's ended
The storm before the calm
A baby takes his infant steps
A drunk man tells a lie
Eventually we'll all be dust
So there's no use to cry


Soak it up, you'll need the juice
To get your fears to disappear
**** some sorrow, cut it loose
Be ready for what's near
Hold it in and blow it out
Shelter from the cold
Every time you do this ****
You say it's getting old


So...... I will say it's over
We all know our role
From now until never
Leave nothing or no one out in the cold

The Trippin Spoon
Ben A Jenkins Nov 2010
Left my soul in the trippin spoon. Gave it a shot now I think I'm through. Now watch me ride on and see it through. Until we meet again. A chicken crows in the dead of night. Another tweaker, been up all night. In the dark chasing dragonflies. Now its time for the morning light. So welcome home. The phone rings but I don"t pay the bill. I probably spent it on a ****** pill. But he still can't find a thrill. Where did the mortal go. Back to the trippin spoon.
thank you. this is my medicine.

shifty
Ben A Jenkins Nov 2010
I left my body last night. I got shifty and I saw myself kicking, drowning. There are times when only my mother's milk will do the trick. But shifty, I just lay here, my muscles aching and quivering. By God I've done it again. I did what I swore I wouldn't. I left the party last night. So say goodbye to being shifty.
    I trip like I want to but the shifty always seems to creep back again. Slowly I remove the thorn from my paw. It'll only hurt for a little while. Back to normal for a while. Until I again decide to let myself get shifty again.

Spotless Rays of Light
Ben A Jenkins Oct 2010
Spotless beautiful rays of sunshine shining upon an otherwise gloomy cloudy field; a barren desolate wasteland of a place.  But, every now and again on days when things are quiet, the sun shines bright in places that never seem to get light.  Those are good days.  Then there are times when the sun never shines.  Days, even weeks pass where there is no light.  Those are bad times.  Nothing grows and everything seems to die.  The worms love these dark times.  They come out to play when there's no light.  Though, when the spotless rays of light shine bright enough, the birds sing, and the bugs and small creatures play.  And the worms; The worms hide deep within the earth, hiding from the light; hiding because they fear the shining sun and its dying, life giving rays.

Oh, how I love the bright days.  Maybe tomorrow the sun will shine.
Benjamin Adam Jenkins, 2010
