The answer to all of my problems. The thing that makes my pain go away. The genie in the bottle of colored pills, that I use everyday. Just one in the morning and my day becomes fine, just another one before dinner to keep me in line. A last one before I go to sleep to make the bad dreams stay away. Automatic therapy is what I take everyday. No doctors needed to talk at me, just give me what I crave. The genie in the bottle of colored pills is all that I need. With just a few doses a day, I can be normal just like you. Do not ever let me miss one dose or I will go on a trip or two. Under the care of these potions, life is wonderful everyday. If they were to go away, then I would have to face reality. That is something I couldn't abide, the pain would be to great, so I will just find life's solutions in a bottle, just one pill is all it takes.
Open my arms to the bright noon day sun, gasp in awe as butterflies flutter around me. Walk barefoot in the grass and feel the earth between my toes. Step into a shaded grove of trees and listen to a brook as it runs by over smooth aged stones. Step into a shallow pool where minnows dart about and let the cool water run over my feet. Sit on a bed of Moss and smell the damp odors rise around me. Watch squirrels run about beneath large Oak trees, as they play. Sit back against a large cool stone and listen to birds serenade me with melodious songs. Separate myself from the ordinary grind of the daily life that I call progress while immersing myself in natural wonders that are often ignored, an yet exist all around me.

Kiss me.
I dare you.

I almost know
it wouldn't be smart,
yet I can't help
but be drawn
to your
smile.

Let me drown.
I dare you.

Let me drown
in the warmth
of your arms,
weighted down only
by knowing
what's to come.

Hold me close.
I dare you.

Make me want
nothing more
than the weight
of your body
against mine.

Don't let me go.
I beg of you.

When all I have left
is the memory of

trembling lips,

starry eyes,

beating hearts,
and
heavy breaths,

I'll wish
I dared
not to love you.
I know that someday
The walls that surround you
Will come tumbling down
      All around you
And you can be certain
That's when the curtain
Will rise up on the first act
The debut of a new play
That you've been rehearsing
One that noone has ever seen
     The actors are ready
    To see how steady
They can be-as they deliver
The performance of a future
    That's taken forever
    To get it all together
The scenery is authentic
The writing is so insightful
That it creates a delightful
Illusion of an intrusion
Into the personal lives
Of the actors themselves
As they pour out the words
That they had to memorize
Then they look with surprise
As they recognize -the disguise
That's been shielding
The very unwielding plot
That has come to the surface
Where it is now- gasping for air
           And aware
Of the mortality of any reality
That has been set loose
And exposed to the light
    Held up....as an example
Of just what can happen
When you sample the emulsion
    That you been trippin on
    Along with the beast
That's been secretly hiding
And has now been caught
     Along with the plot

Constantly in perpetual emotion
   Going around and around
Like a pinwheel-that's being
Held out the window- Of a car
On a highway-going somewhere
             In despair
Knowing that my way is taking me
In the opposite direction
As a means of protection
And having no need
    Of any type of correction
    BECAUSE..... the
Curtain has fallen down
     To surround....you
Like the walls that you built
That you once let crumble
Before the guilt that you felt
Reassembled all the pain
That has now been built
All the way around you...so
Close down the play
Send the actors away
The reversal cancelled
Any need of rehearsal.... So...
LET THE DARKNESS TAKE OVER THE NIGHT
LET THE DARKNESS TAKE OVER THE NIGHT
    Turn out the lights and close the doors
Knowing that somethings not right
About the way that you say
No emergency assistance is necessary
Once the curtain falls
And you make your way back
Back back Back back behind
Behind behind Behind
Behind your walls

I think everyone has that poem about them
The one where they believe they are monsters
Some people are either brave, or stupid, enough to tell them
And while some only have enough describing words for a three minute song
Mine has enough for the musical you can get a full nights sleep to
If you're not afraid of the nightmares that follow
Ganges giver of life's water, flowing through a mystical and vast land, heart of so many lives. How you have been afflicted by the changes in time. If only people would stop and listen to the peaceful song as your waters run deeply through the land. In silence they would hear your cries and see the peoples tears. Those who reverence you are at a loss for the things that you have suffered in the name of progress. If all were taken back and let to run its own course, you would bring hope and life once again. Until then your children will weep for you and pray for you to recover until you become beautiful and full of life once again.
Words are beyond lost right now
I think this is what it feels like to be numb.
I know this is when I'm supposed to have faith and hope and this is when it is most vital.
But where to begin?
Where to decide that from this moment on I am going to be happy.
Happiness is something I seem to treat as a destination.
Happiness is a mind set that only God can help me achieve.
I love God and I love being able to not feel held back by anyone in this manner.
I just know I feel lonely.
I feel insecure.
What makes people decide they don't want me?
Is it the fact that I can't help where I've come from?
You can tell someone all you want to work on their issues, but tell me how is that going for you?
Do you have everything figured out and every ghost distinguished?
No I know you don't.
So don't judge me for mine.
He once told me not to let anyone tell me I'm not worth it, so here it is, I know I'm worth it.
You tried to tell me I wasn't but you didn't break me like I thought you would.
In fact I feel stronger and motivated.
God can see who wins in the end and I know it is us.
Reading his daily messages soon became boring,
but you are ignoring the fact that he was only trying to be loving..
At first he was special for you,
but now you treat him like a nobody..
You are missing the whole thing..

You asked him to remain the same..
..but you changed..
Its a shame!
Sending you messages daily without getting any replies,became his habit,
and reading his daily messages without replying,became yours..

The point that you are missing is that there're actually lots of girls out there who wish to have someone like him in their lives..
but still,he is holding on to you..
because he still loves you the way he did when he was 17..
but maybe it won't last forever,
because he is a lover,
and lovers expect love in return..
-Sharvish
You'll only miss him the day he'll be gone..
but he'll never let you miss him,
because he's got no intentions of leaving..
even if its difficult..

OFF I GO
 Dec 2015 Sam Winter

Last night the alcohol filled my system
and I laughed so hard
pearls came rushing down my cheeks
One, two, three - more than many
Last night I cried and filled an ocean
while I got drained
of the remnants of a one true love
together with the one real agony
And last night I tried to fill me up again
with thoughts of forgiving
and a decision of forgetting
Well last night at least, I really tried
Today I woke up
with a brand new hangover
and without the same old heartburn
Yes finally
Today, the sun greeted me
and I smiled back, "Good morning."

Now off my heart goes.

Letting go and finally saying goodbye was never an easy thing for the heart that had been so true, so passionate , and so hurt. It's never easy, but not impossible.
