howling, screeching, slinging poo
the monkey's me, the monkey's you
regurgitation, repetition
it seems to be how we're conditioned

my body is spent
but my mind's still reeling
why can't I shake
this sinking feeling?

I fill my head with emptiness
myself to help me empty this
just so, although the words come out,
the picture’s only static now

I light this flame to dim the spark
that makes this monochrome seem dark
and add some color to the days
that shimmer as they dissipate


where’s my phone?

hands interlock
as hearts entwine
the way her body
fits with mine
no awkward moments
have we shared
our chemistry
beyond compare
a ring, a promise
I have made
because, you see
now we’re engaged

is a cigarette
and I'm naked in the dark
looking for a light

this ****'s not funny
I'm down to 4 cigarettes
and 0 money

everywhere I go
every single thing I do
she's right there with me

work out for hour?
eat healthy and meditate?
don't wanna "alive"

endorphins flood
my nervous system
your pupils dilate,
body glistens

your chemistry
I love the smell
I'm hooked again
with each inhale

the stars that linger
in your eyes
have me enthralled
I'm hypnotized

your sultry voice
the way it flows
excites in ways
you'll never know

but out of all
these wondrous things
I really love
the way you taste

a flavor I cannot
describe
it doesn't matter
how I try

except to say,
that it's divine
and every single drop
is mine

it's comfortable
fits like my favorite boots
I'll make you smell them
