I found you

Slouched over the steering wheel of your mother's car
Your eyes glassed over with a slight haze

I see you again

Cold as ice when I touch your hand
The faint smell of the noxious gases seeping in from the hose

I begin to shake you

"WAKE UP **** YOU"
WAKE UP"
Don't leave me
My heart beats faster and faster

I hold you closer to my heart

Blurry vision sets in my eyes
Getting harder to breathe
The ignition is finally off

I am not going to leave you

Getting sleepy
I reach for the door handle
Need to get out of here

I fall on top of you

One final breathe
Overcome by the fumes
The garage door begins to open
A sad little love story
Whispers in a dream state
begs you to wake me

..a poet's mind never rest.... except when it lies next to the heart that it protects
A poetic short
That's why it was an emotional nightmarish roller-coaster. .with small bits of sunshine on the track
My spring break 2016
 Mar 2016 The Noose
The Dedpoet
I awoke covered in sweat,
The steam rising from my body,
The light skims in through the curtains;
A small murmur of breath escapes
Into the enormous solitude
As I think about all that is wrong
With me:
I panic because I'm depressed again,
The light is too far from me
And my body craves the dead mans sleep.
The silence is full of noise
And what I hear is myself thinking,
I cannot run away from thought,
The silence is deafening.
      What can I do in my darkness?
      Sadness of the abyss,
      The hole inside me filled with
       Sorrow's song.
And I break from myself,
I try to capture the positive attitude,
That foray into psychological betterment,
The ragged form of relief...
   OK, I pick up my bones,
   Flipping the switch I see my pen,
   2a.m.,great wings of black full
   Of my epileptic thoughts seize
   The page, littered with pieces
   Of me I fill the paper with shadows,
   A simple verse will not suffice,
   But the immenseness of emptiness
   Has become full of something's
   Verses, write away,
   Write away the darkness....

It comes, it stays, it goes and flees
Hand in hand with your hope,
I reach out my hand and I cannot
Fathom the waters murky essense,
I want to be happy!
What does that mean?
The lights are there, but they seem
Faint and faroff, it swells my eyes,
The tears of an unending journey,
At times I smile at all the pain,
These words, these words of myself,
They sail inward, as if to the source,
The source of what?
    I **** the lights after all the words
    Have filled three pages,
    They bled me dry,
    Tears and ink mixed with pieces
    Of my inner reflections,
    Who will know or even care to read?
The thought scorns me,
I lay down, the silence grew silent,
A release of pain and sorrow,
That is my little death,
My little resurrection,
Everyday.

I clapped my hands together
finally killing the fly
that had been bothering me
all day,
saw his little meaningless body
fall to the floor.

I rejoiced a minute,
then got to thinking,
he may have been
a metaphor sent,
to remind me  of me.
