"inebriated" poems
Water lilies, libidinous lover boys, on the sly circles her naked body, impertinently while she unaware of this, swim and play in her water-crazy, noisy country girl self in this enclosure of ***** pines wildly in bloom, She's happy for being shielded from prying looks of rowdy village boys, adept in disrobing her with their eyes    Enamored, the lilies, white, blue and purple inebriated all, by drinking the nubile beauty limitless all along,under the  level of water and above, breached all the reserves, ahamelessly sevoured her saucy proximity til she left when the dusk, shed saffron all over.         Yet in her innocence she would think, "Poor darlings,how much did they suffer, as I splashed and broke the calm of the pond all evening"

A nymph among water lilies
I’ve been reading a bit about positivity, this past hour. I have been trying to project what I’ve read, mentally, in scenarios where I’m under stress to see how things work out. I couldn’t make peace with the fact that sometimes letting go and keeping quiet is the best course of action. That sometimes, just sometimes, shutting up and letting things happen is the only way to get over a bad situation. The fallout can be dealt with. The one percent of our animal nature within helps us rebuild every time. I can feel an uneasiness settling, making its home in the center of my being. Writhing in malcontent and uneven distaste, counterbalanced hatred for this feeling I’m riddled with. Where is the good in all this? Is that what forgiveness is? Swallowing the bitter pill? Turning a new leaf? Among other euphemisms for being a **** up. Something that’s very hard to do. Two minds too blind to make themselves up. Nothing is accomplished in confusion. One kills while the other cries. Despair and hope side by side, waiting for one to rise and the other to fall. Positivity is elastic, it can be stretched to fit over what you deem right. It can be mistaken for a rush of energy, a thirst for life, a sense of achievement, an inebriated night. All the while festering, brooding, decaying inside, a heart of sadness, that once did smile.

Positivity
After dark, energies flow in manners that pleases them most braided together in lust, two king cobras were seen spiraling up when darkness like a camouflage sets in thickly around,you're the  marijuana of my mind, seeking far horizons of pleasure. I willingly seek oblivion, when pink pointed goosebumps like tarantula's love bites, results of mating time cruelty infest all over my body's landscape, signatures of ecstasy. I feel your lips become, moist, soft, honey from each drips never enough,for me, is it possible to get inebriated more? Your sighs and moans speak the vocabulary of a forgotten ancient language love hurriedly resurrected for us from past, brevity is the crux of that lingo of erupting jets of desire, it teaches you to moan in fifty different tones in all;even more? Your sharpened nails etch cave murals on my itching back that has the searing taste of blood, in hot hot chilly red. my taste buds of lust, begs for more and more of it. You are the marijuana fueling my narcotic flights that land in your misty land, enveloping my senses as a whole. "The night is still young, hear what the darkness whispers" I hear you speak like an oracle, on things about to happen.

A tryst with ***** narcotic moments
Zeus is ****** tonight. Maybe he was having conflict with Hera. Maybe Apollo or Athena or Artemis accidentally attempted to rain art or astuteness or animals down upon Earth, respectively. Maybe he drank too much wine. Whatever the reason is, it's quite a light show. There are no stars, only the chemiluminescence on my shirt and my shorts that were poured upon me by intoxicated partiers who thought it would be entertaining to shower the combination of peroxide and phenyl oxalate ester upon the party guests. A map of the universe is splattered across my hands. It's as if Zeus threw away the sky, in an inebriated gesture, and it landed around me. Cronus should have swallowed the father of gods and of men whole.

*Inebriated blue cloud, I know you well enough libertine ways you have make you a lover of deep thunder and meek rainbow and also a chit of a lark that loses itself in a song be it is in grief or mirth. Strange is the ways of my heart, how much I long to fall in love with you and proclaim this to the world scheming to disrupt the pleasures one seeks without any reason at all "Look! love has no limits, no reason even the lovely cloud, softness personified caresses my foliage with sensuous abandon kisses me with her wispy lips of moisture" I know you understand, though unmindful of my unbridled passion making breaches in the limits, I have no illusion about our improbable union. True, how can we live happily ever after? I envy your gift of wings though you have none visible, you borrow it from the wayward wind, too willing to carry your sweet load around. I stood on the hill top, wistfully thinking that you will come and take me within your soft folds though I am a tree with deep running roots that has become a restraining thing. Freedom without any limit gets you inebriated every minute, your love for love,  makes you desirable you live in the present, suspend thoughts on time to come as it is hypothetical, you say. You are in a hurry to roam wherever lovers lead you one after the other do you have an urge to dissolve and pour- as water, without any remorse? Do you know my  penitence for your love on this hilltop is a true sacrifice? My love for you doesn't bring anything except my wilting hour after hour. Let me be on your blue breast for moments when my boiling love will seek your shining center that melts, melts we'd freeze as one, how long my darling? Time would simply stand still to a distance, i'd be transported, where tree or cloud means nothing we are an incessant rain lasting for ever.*

The big angry things sling vocal feces Fleshy phallus-pumps close at hand, cooing Guzzle guzzle ethanol Inebriated petrol-baby "Smash the atom!" "We're too late, we're too late!" Tar (quick) sand ***** Big angry things drown "We gotta gotta drill!" Penetrate the Mother with a steel **** Oedipus laughs As the boulder, finally Crushes Sisyphus.

Oedipus laughs
It shifts, dual purpose, Illusions, truth, Mirages in deserts, Purity, the stream of life, It flows, it flows. The young lady, she stands there, Her voice muffled in the silence, She says something but not a sound escapes, I take her hand and, She guides me through this crevice, Between reality and spirituality, A key between the black door and the white door, A way out of the waiting room, She guides me. Trees a burning gold, Everything is connected, Branching out into infinity, I walk until the path leads me, To the two rivers in the seam, I stand in between. Silence. What does it mean? Perhaps an exaggerated dream, Foreshadowing, Of what is yet to come. I walk, and walk, She guides me, The deer wanders, Behind unboundedly, Liberated, not a care, Time is an illusion. We walk until we stop, My legs like fluid, No restraint, A body of water, Made from the purest glacier, Connecting from the two rivers, Understanding. A towering mountain stands, King of everything. Dipping my face in the water, Rejuvenation and comprehension arrive, I see a peek of truth at the bottom, Swim down but I am stuck, It's not my time. I surface as she takes my hand, We walk down the path, So inebriated with the vision, Unaware of the avalanche, Everything collapsing, Falling, falling, crashing, I am not to grasp it yet. A taste of possibility, The perfect amount of tranquility, The Creator poured just enough of each ingredient, A glimpse of what I need to change. I take the first step into the last days, A different man.

Whiskey, Neat
V. Ethereal Maybe being drunk is the closest I will ever get to zero gravity-- to walking on the moon. My fingers curled around the neck of a liquor bottle,   I wander to my bedroom window, as a tipsy weightlessness settles amongst my limbs (and my thoughts). Swaying slightly, I part the curtains and, in my intoxicated stupor, search for Polaris in the night sky, point to it, press a clumsy hand to the glass, convince myself that I have captured the star, and all the omniscient power it possesses, beneath my finger tips. Star light, {lips pant-- inebriated, heavy} star bright, {my breath appears a catalyst as the window pane glazes over in an impenetrable paroxysm of fog} first star I see tonight, {I take a swig, raise the bottle-- a toast to the cosmos} I wish I may, {Lashes meet in silent matrimony} I wish I might, {Behind closed, desperate eyes, ribbons of colour dance towards me in a disoriented jig} have this wish I wish tonight-- to be obliterated by the very galaxy that birthed these grieving bones and this tumultuous heart. Because only then-- as the Gods paint the Night with the innards of my soul, acrylic purples churning against the blackness-- will I become what I have always dreamed of becoming: Lovely. Ethereal.

I, Ophelia (Part Five--Ethereal)
I want to kiss you. I want to feel your downy lips Pressed gently against my own. I crave to feel them part like the Earth's mantle Revealing your core That is wet, hot, and squirming. I desire to taste your sweet Honeyed saliva, To satiate The sweet tooth Of my lust. I want to grip you As if I were holding onto my own soul As it tried escaping from my body. Like it was the end of the world And we only had each other To look to for affection In our final moments of existence. I thirst to look into your dewy eyes, That reflect my own feelings A mixture of desire and fear. I want to drink in your wanton stare And get intoxicated by it. And we'll fall, drunkenly. Inebriated from life for the first time. We'd roll around together Laughing. The sound Muffled and obscured, By the pressing of our lips And the movement Of our tongues. Our bodies would contort, As we grasped at clothes Out of instinct. We'd feel hot And constricted, Taking deeper and deeper breaths As we kissed. Still waiting, For the world to end. -SLuR

I desperately want to kiss you.
One is seemingly more impressed by the less endowed or blessed when somewhat incapacitated and borderline inebriated; the monstrous unconscious disregards the likelihood of fathomless undergarments in other dubious departments. Disregard the random blotches or the involuntary discharges instead revel in model tonsils and almond shaped parcels the comets of multi-notches like a strange attraction for disheveled carpets. The blossoms of toxins a libation ensemble almost near horizontal each movement a bent nozzle like a prehistoric Narwhal dancing like a jackhammer with the elegance of a cement mixer a broken leaking fissure seeping vapid glamour and indecipherable grammar. The paraphrased clichés and communiques of praise like lost prophets put on display caught in the ricochet of overplay making an exit with the grace of a stumbling ballet down a poorly-lit nightclub passageway. Ultimately this can only lead to the face-plant moment-of-tomorrow the flooded memory of the-night-before feeling utterly spent hungover and hollow with ill conceived consent. The: Oh. My. God! The: ***** is still here, what do I say? Hoping inexorably they would just get up and silently fade away. Beer Goggles: remember to drink sensibly, or run the risk of nasty STD's or unwanted pregnancy or breathless infidelity or reckless insincerity or if you're really lucky, just another session in therapy.

Just how does warm weather conjure the inebriated & lovers, on to Londons’ Tube? Are sweaty nights an aphrodisiac tune, to an alcoholic groove? Wavering tight stepped shuffles, paired with googly-eyed, hand-clasped, lip-locked, snuggles. Inward thought toothpicking the corners of mouths, as cheerful eyes spy the Underground antics of the South. That off the shoulder dress, stranger clothes, newer shoes; a fashionista bazar, A fleeting memory is Winters’ white metaled fire. Hapless in this weather what else to do but smile? Is it not so much easier than to revile? Warm weather has a mission… dismiss disgust. Go on London smile. It’s a must. © Qwey.ku

A storm, a sandstorm, a blinding sandstorm! Grits of gold inebriated with a haunted hurricane danced with a fiendish fervour in its search for identity. Glare of gold blinds, grip of greed delirates. Like a marauding butcher, slivers of gold gouged out your saneness. You danced like a possessed, with the yellow glister holding your hand to the funeral pyre  of your created destiny.

The lost equilibrium
Spanish La luna es pálida y triste, la luna es exangüe y yerta. La media luna figúraseme un suave perfil de muerta… Yo que prefiero a la insigne palidez encarecida De todas las perlas árabes, la rosa recién abierta, En un rincón del terruño con el color de la vida, Adoro esa luna pálida, adoro esa faz de muerta! Y en el altar de las noches, como una flor encendida Y ebria de extraños perfumes, mi alma la inciensa rendida. Yo sé de labios marchitos en la blasfemia y el vino, Que besan tras de la orgia sus huellas en el camino; Locos que mueren besando su imagen en lagos yertos… Porque ella es luz de inocencia, porque a esa luz misteriosa Alumbran las cosas blancas, se ponen blancas las cosas, Y hasta las almas más negras toman clarores inciertos! English The moon is pallid and sad, the moon is bloodless and cold. I imagine the half-moon as a profile of the dead… And beyond the reknowned and praised pallor Of Arab pearls, I prefer the rose in recent bud. In a corner of this land with the colors of earth, I adore this pale moon, I adore this death mask! And at the altar of the night, like a flower inflamed, Inebriated by strange perfumes, my soul resigns. I know of lips withered with blasphemy and wine; After an **** they kiss her trace in the lane. Insane ones who die kissing her image in lakes… Because she is light of innocence, because white things Illuminate her mysterious light, things taking on white, And even the blackest souls become uncertainly bright.

Monroe Ave c. 2018, in my own dream land. K. Daniel's Revelation, cannot reverse what's starting to happen. Darker, more forlorn. No more bar and restaurant patrons, the streets are just a scattered herd of pestilence. No cars, the somnambules own the streets in silence. Honey dripping hipsters, years gone. ***** clothes, hair past their pearls. Asking for boy, asking for O.P.s, asking for girl, asking for crack, asking for methamphetamines. The only noise. We lost the reclamation of the city our parents left. Escaping dead end cul-de-sacs of basement poverty, we no longer had to drive. Stacked with our friends in tenement commune. We delivered the body we consume in service, catering to a more privileged few. Only responsible for one when long work was done, I ensured my red blood's full of fun. We drank and inebriated with design when allowed more free time. But, darling, I think this town was already gentrified. We changed no thing.

It Didn't Even Feel like a Nightmare
do we you or i live life? I think so we live life and experience things like the cosmos – nebula's, constellations and galaxies the speckled white backdrop of purple green on a black satin sky at night – so magnificent we live life and experience things like that hobo – cold and homeless an image of pure sadness we look at the wretch and feel despair – he smiles, his shallow and sickly eyes say the opposite. So we wonder what is his story, his history – a mask we live life and experience things like a rainbow – an optical illusion that has no end and no beginning, it is infinite and we reach and reach and grasp and grasp and and we never get a grip – a mirage we live life and experience things like children – inebriated adults proclaiming a grin of innocence and a smile of sweetness in small form – we cling to our youth, much like the rainbow or the lion seeking his prey we hunt for it – **its momentary ** we live life and experience things like exhilaration – riding a roller coaster, a high speed car chase – watching a man land on the moon, falling in love, and the times when childlike excitement fill our bodies – the escape life is so magnificent, who we are behind the mask, how we see a mirage, and its momentary fleeting passing, and our escape –living for the escape.

a life spent escaping life
Ach so! thou much-praised and lauded Milwaukee, Thou delightful Wisconsin Stadt of boundless pulchritude, Verily hath History endowed thy blessed name With the noisomely beery breath of immortality! And thank the benign Almighty in highest Heav’n That thy delectable streets and arboreal squares Doth remain heretofore untouched by unseemly civic strife, Despite thy renown as veritable midwife to Sewer Socialism! Yet, tear-inducing recollections have I of this dwelling-place And herewith followeth heart-rending remembrances Of what transpired when I inveigled a plump young Mädchen there For a brief sojourn of untrammelled concupiscence. Alas, alack, after gorging her impetuous appetites On a gargantuan repast of mitteleuropäische delicacies, Methinks her poor heart gave up survival’s uneven battle And, warbling a soft piffero-reminiscent sigh, she expired. ‘Twas too tragic thus to depart this happy welkin in mid-prandials, Emitting a final flatus, sweet adieu, from her rearmost aperture, Leaving me, her poor forlorn swain, bereft and solitary, Faced with mine host’s request for instant monetary rendition. From that naughty place of my bereavement fled I, Clutching to my ***** the contents of her silken purse, Determined to partake in untrammelled ***** licence elsewhere, Ere the chanticleer’s dawn croak wake the inebriated citizens.

Tragically Gay Memories of Old Milwaukee (poem by Edna's ******** brother Siegfried)
Under a large, round, yellow Full November moon The chill of the cold, dark night Slips in through my window It fights against the heating To send a shuddering shiver down my spine Under the full November moon People spill out of noisy pubs Leaving heat, light, music A false, inebriated happiness To stagger, swirling home To warm beds of love Or cold, empty houses And late night T.V. Under the full November moon Teenager's breath leaves clouds in the air Hanging heavy and mingling with smoke From spliffs secretly held in cupped hands Hanging around shops, parks Even the disappearing phone boxes Feeling the arrogance of youth Course through their veins Under the full November moon The middle aged sit In armchairs with tea mugs T.V. droning as they dream of their youth When they were slim and **** Or hungry and virile Before it all slipped so quickly away Under the full November moon Swingers swap flesh and fluids In hotels and motels With no more passion or emotion Than passing the salt Under the full November moon Prostitutes haul their tired, aching bodies From car to car for the price of a hit The dealers swagger, stoked full of ******* With the power and arrogance of mediaeval lords Under the full November moon People sweat in police cells Under grey, itchy blankets On blue rubber mattresses In a white - tiled nightmare Under the full November moon I think of them all As I sir writing ideas In a cheap, lined pad Then turn off the lights As the full November moon Bids goodnight To us all

The ****** poet mainlines inspiration by the gram. chasing away the gnawing emptiness. Fill the void with creations formed in pain, molded in your likeness to keep at bay the loneliness. The ****** poet and his muse paint the world in inebriated metaphors. Burnt spoon blackened souls gather on the fringes. Creating living seas of tortured, tumultuous shadow. The end comes like an implosion. Destruction turned inward one last time. Not a result of action, but of choices made in moments of self-loathing when the junkie’s muse was nowhere to be found.

****** Poet
A ringing in my ear The soft cry of children My innocence slaughtered Where did time go I lay here awake Aware of the mess Who dragged me from my bed? My fists are cut and ****** And the bottle lay empty Another night out? Butchered tree in my pocket There’s more to it than this An endless road lie yonder The heat waves friendly I see you but hear nothing I don’t wave back Another left behind Learning new ways to walk Have we forgotten how to live? Worshiping false idols Media is a speedy vehicle Inebriated driver behind the wheel The minds of the masses A thirst never quenched I laugh as I know And wander off the road I think I found a new place to go The land of maize But I’m not lost I have no place to be Do you? -AJT

I met an artist yesterday, sat in solitary silence, In the shadowy corner of an affluent bar. And cloaked he was, by babble of students, Boasting of wealth and test results. molested In the attire of a catholic school, His cigarettes born from bible pages; and -- Inebriated from the blood of Christ -- surrounded by empty glass apostles, He paints the papers, In a masterful stroke -- Of pointilistic precision -- In a viscous hash oil That he had melted on a crucifix. The artist drunk, and drunk He drowned himself, Deafened by his liver Drowning in a sea of expensive whiskey -- It was a miracle that he could walk on it. And began to rack the coke he'd wrapped in a losing lottery ticket -- In plain sight of those 'sophisticated' enough To use a bathroom cubicle. And hoovered the diamond shards into his nostril, Through a rolled up scrap of paper -- A letter for an Oxford Interview he could not afford to get to.

The Artist
Pub poetry is a form of performance poetry consisting of the shouted word which has developed in UK urban pubs, dating back to the 1940s and 50s. Words are typically yelled over ambient haphazard rhythms which are not especially chosen for the piece of poetry, rather the poetry is performed over the generic sound of empty bottles and part filled glasses and live samples of patron conversation that will be familiar to those frequenting hostelries around the UK. Sometimes the audience will employ call and response devices to distract the poet, such as calls of "W##k-er!', with the traditional response of "F##k-You!" before the pub poet continues with his yelled out verse, often read from the beer stained back of an overdue envelope. The pub poet usually appears on a chair or table, surrounded by immediate family or work mates cheering him on. Invariably inebriated, the pub poet may not appear to make any sense to the uninitiated - but once you too have availed yourself of your 4th or 5th pint, the words become clearer and easier to appreciate. No musicality is built into pub poems and pub poets generally perform without backing music, delivering chanted speech with pronounced modulation, broken-rhythmic accentuation and dramatic, though random, stylization of gestures, often resulting in the pub poet losing balance and sustaining a head injury thereby losing consciousness and bringing the evening's entertainment to a premature, but often welcome, end. It is often noted that many pub poets are remarkably shy and retiring when sober.
