I've been drinking about you baby
trying to drown you out of my head
but the poison makes you stronger instead

I've been smoking about you baby
inhaling you into my lungs
i miss the feeling of touching each others tongues

I've been pill popping about you lately
to make me feel more numb
the fact that i still need you is really pretty dumb
might delete this soon, just something i'm writing to get feelings out while i'm pills at the moment so idk

Like a spider crawling against my veins
Poisoning my body
Shattering the cells beneath my skin
Into shadows of dust
A sewn heart cracks open
Flooding me in puddles of scarlet silk
Dripping as I fall like pixels of a broken image
Disappearing into a dark infinity
The flames between our souls extinguish into oblivion.

Days to people mean different things
A new leaf to plants mark growth
A larva turns butterfly reflects change
What does this day mean to me?

It could be another day
It is just another birthday
Another year to my stay
Maybe just some remembrance day?

Seconds, Minutes, Hours and days
Weeks, Months, Years and times
One question that comes to mind
As the clock strolls ticking by

What have I done all these years?
What can I do this year?
What will I do in years to come?
My life has a story to tell

A Birthday poem to an old friend, a piece of advise..  .....our life's have stories they tell, I wanted the friend to make hay while the sun was yet shining

My lingering lament
my stuttering sonnet
my book of bewilderment
has your name on it.

If
If you'd let me in
I'd jump into your heart and
See everything you see
I could never see what you see, especially not in me. I wish I could see what you see, because I have never seen anything....

the nodding snowdrops cannot compete
with the ornamental grass swaying in the wind.
The pathway to the pond is unsteady
its wet ground giving way,
no room for the artist to paint.
The threatened rain has not arrived
whilst  the camelias gives a sad hue
of what should have been

Here's a thought
Stop crying out
And start reaching
And I'm not calling you attention seeking
Because I wouldn't mean it
But If you don't let anyone help
Whose gonna stop the bleeding
And if you're telling yourself that pain is on your side
When no one else is
Try to let someone else in

I'll craft you an arrow with a poem-poison tip,
Forge you a grammar-sword to hold at your hip,
Ride into battle proud to be by your side,
Wordsmith a cave where I’ll take you to hide.

Give me a word, and I’ll light it ablaze,
I have a million wonderful ways,
Wrath bullets launching from literature-guns,
Shiny and sassy and loaded with puns.

Seed me with words, and I’ll birth them for you,
Transformed and ready, and scathing, and true,
I am your friend, your protector, your muse,
I will comeback, and attack, and confuse.
