Deception

So i wake up to this beauteous morning,
Oh! This thought still enthralled me,
If only, I could still be dreaming,
But this is the truth and this is what you see.

I am, yet i am afraid, once again,
The song so beauteous, still sings,
O! I am enthralled, or am i just in vain,
Trying to be me, flying without wings?

This needs to be true, and, yes i shout.
O why! O why! IS this a deception?
I drink all the wine but it is still so loud,
Beside this heavenly wind, i owe a reunion?

O! She was the one who made me me,
Still i forgo the real taste of this wine,
Deceptive, she is, couldn’t i see???
Where i headed unreal and without a shine?

Maybe I am dreaming,
For so long, a wish so vile,
Oh! Despair in me, too screaming,
Like a long lost me all the while…

Maybe I am dreaming,
Silence are the words, you play.
Silent is my song now and every day.

Maybe there are left no words,
Silent even the portrait is,
Like a long dead knight, in arms and swords,
Fighting a long lost battle of pleas.

Maybe I am so dreaming,
That even, the wine taste so tasteless,
Like eyes so red, like a cry so whining,
For a wish, that too, so fathomless.

Maybe this is not my star,
Where fairies glide with a song so enchanting.
Crumbling, I am my love, yet so far,
O! Princess, you’re so piercing.

Maybe this is all just a dream,
Still I feel your fragrance around me,
It’s a futile divination, O! My princess,
Still you are, for me, so priceless.

Maybe I am just so dreaming,
For a long lost love, that I am longing,
But, how proud was ever Achilles,
To lose and die in the hands of Paris??

Blue veins and Marlboro lips.
I've got open wounds from my wrists to my hips.
And we've got some left over whiskey so we're just taking sips.
Doing everything in our power not to sink these ships.

He lowered his head toward the steering wheel
And I fell silent just to let him feel.
We watched the kids we grew up with bleed from their noses.
Disappearing with their friends' prescriptions and hanging from nooses.
But he took the deepest cut and came out swinging with the least bruises.
Those dreams of pulling a trigger under your tongue haven't made you useless.
Because the longer you stand in the dark, the brighter the sun is when it diffuses.

Lost in decorated journals
resting on my night stand
Strategically spaced all around
last years Civics notes
Wedged between Great Expectations
& a dictionary on a book shelf in my bedroom
Cycling through the washing machine
tucked inside the back pocket of my jeans
Crushed under the weight of my dresser
Hidden under a pile
of paperwork in my car 
Words drenched in so much
unadulterated pain
Years of twisted agony,
aching to be forgotten

There's a mess inside my skull
& it's pouring from my finger tips

This Ugly Town
 Mar 2013 Lee
Morgan
It's our tongues tingling
in a thick sea of Vlad
It's impromptu road trips
without a destination
It's all of our legs wrapped
around the same gray sheets
It's eight of us in a four seater
looking at each other through blood shot eyes
It's ****** breakfast food that makes our ribs
ache worse than laughing at our misfortune 
It's twenty seven reruns of
ghost adventures at five in the morning  
It's my hair in the palms of their hands
as my head hangs over the toilet
It's all of their voices talking at once
just to greet the tears on their way out
It's every phone call
that has gently eased me to sleep,
it's every makeshift sing along
that has kept me sane,
it's every tired morning
after every dark night
we spent curing each other,
It's every beautiful
friend we found  in this ugly town

They told me it was metal,
but I didn't believe a word.
But now I find it's iron
of the strongest, finest kind.
Ah! Here is my little bellows,
I think I'll melt it down.

Overdose.

I took the pills two by two.
Three-thousand, six-hundred milligrams so true, so true.
My body, my mind, their taking control.
My feelings my touch, begin to fade, begin to go.
Six of them I took, some more, some more..
valumes I popped, I'm on the floor.
My knee's are weak and my mind is clear, nothing but pills, the pills are here.
I fear they'll take me, fear that I'll fail and fall.
But on the pills I don't care at all.
Popping them,
loving them,
I'm not letting them go,
my addiction and submission of the friends I now know.
I took the pills, two by ******* two.
I took them all.

Religion brought me tea at noon,
And taught me how to pray,
To God, and birds, and indifferent moon
That holds the world at bay.

Heaven came to me disguised,
Beneath the heavy drone,
Of millions of silent prayers,
Pleading to be left alone.

I heard the cries of anguished souls,
Lamenting their fate,
For penance costs a heavy toll
To walk the narrow and straight.

I found my heart laid out to dry
Upon the chapel floor,
As saints and sinners passed it by,
Too busy to implore.

I paid my dues at Sunday mass,
And sold my soul last June,
Because infatuation with the past
Brings even the pure to ruin.

I heard the angels singing out
A sad and passionate song,
As the world shrunk back in pious doubt,
They continued on and on.

I fell into a rabbits hole,
Full of all that isn't,
I accepted Him to make me whole,
The most righteous kind of prison.
