The Succulent Turkey drew my attention,
Beckoning me with its plump figure
How could i resist its alluring whispers?

Nay! I become familiar with my triggers

For its piquant facade
May curse my wild tongue
In a state like a drunk

Cease this at once! I must sway towards reason

Yet i overhear the others consume the dead brute
Munching on its Crisp outer skin,
while sipping on fresh gin

O, how plush the meat is! My body trembles

Woe to my eyes! Hail my sense
As its aroma tempts my stomach into hysteria
Breaking my barriers!

Halt! I cannot control myself!

My hand hovers above the Corpse
Yes, It is a feast in the name of Jesus,
its point to please us
However i cannot continue
to over-indulge, i must flee!

My reasoning for this,
some may comprehend

I confess to the lord i am gluttonous
Everyday I struggle to cope with my habits
Every swallow of good shoves the melancholy down
temporarily,
Thus, the cycle continues.

I witness this day as the birth of Jesus Christ
Yet this celebration
I musn't take part in.

Lord how do i continue?
Thy carries the freight of past horrors and future possibilities,
Upon my shoulders
Such a sense of disquietude.

I may fall due to this Lord of Light!
as every step i take on this tightrope,
flashbacks of dreadful memories come back
putting me off balance!
Nay!

I must take a step back,
or two
or fall!

Put me out of my misery Lord of mercy!
As i wobble on this rope,
trying to find my balance
How!
When their is nothing beyond this tightrope!

Lord!
All i observe into the distance is fog!
the future is bleak for me if i continue
on this tightrope!

Hail the Lord of Forgiveness!
looking behind me i see fog
what if i just jump?
from this tightrope

It is so easy
to take the pills,
overdose
and as consequence, kills.

Yet i am here
writing this poem,
dissociating
feeling beyond broken.

I hang on to life
like a thread,
i may loose my balance
the worrying thus spreads.

As i wobble, tremble and struggle
to find my stability,
the thread gets thinner
I may fall critically.

Who would save me?
i cannot look down
or anywhere

i am bound,

To my worries, fears and tears
silly hopes, dreams and lies
past, present and future.

Through the words you have written,
I see a broken spirit

Perhaps i could be freinds with your demons?
Hear the text through deep conversations

As the person you portray to the world is different Writer's man,
Carless, heartless, angry and chaotic

Yet Writer's man,
Your Poems show a beaten man overpowered by his inner evils and addictions.

I know this seems bizarre Writer's man,
But is it possible i fell for you as i read every line?

Our drunk moments may mean nothing to you...
But they cling to my memories

I must admit,
I am broken myself
but perhaps
we could be broken together?

Writer's man, Could i hear your dark thoughts, raw emotions and hug you on your darkest days?
Only time will tell

Odd, is it not?
Our moments, or am i wrong?
Drunk moments turned to love?
Or lust?

How is it that you cannot see,
I yearn for stability
Yet here you are,
Coming and going?

What we seek in each other i cannot tell
As we speak slurred words of deep thoughts,
that turn to passionate touch

Odd, is it not?
That i want something wrong?
Moments of being a drunk,
Can it turn to Love?

"You are obscure!", they tell me
For how could one like another for their damage
they do not see what I see, distant lover

"To hell with those addicts!", they scream
due to the crowd not seeing deeper into your minds
missing the good parts of you

For the way you smile, laugh and stare
has me in a daze

I look past your nonsensical doings and depression
and see what I admire, the good man you are
making my heart flutter

but how could I approach you in the midst of your intoxity?
surely you mustn't remember our moments we have together
how sad, yet I still pester for your attention

yet I still yearn the love and touch of you
but confused as to when you are not straight
dear distant lover, how complicated does this have to be?
for even this poem seems chaotic

When i am within your presence i feel completed
Perhaps due to meeting in a previous life?
For the connection we have i cannot comprehend,
As to how similar you and i are...

Thus, as we delve into conversations
Thy inner vibrations that seep into my aura radiate outwards,
Allowing the both of us to reach limitless possibilities
To the Tides with it!
Thee lets down the bridges thy has built within to free these vibrations
But note,
O' friend or foe? Nay! This is not a declaration of romanticism
But rather a note of what i observe of our friendship?
For the innocent jokes, slight smiles and full cries have the biggest impact!
O' do ye not see?

Hence, i ask of you one thing!
To have patience with such a being like me for i am only human,
To grow with me as we both develop into reality,
To remember the feeling you have whenever we see each other.

Dear friend or foe?
When we distance i feel incomplete
Perhaps due to you passing away in a previous life and leaving me behind?
For the connection we had creeps upon me within the night,
Reminding me as to how similar you and i once were
