Morning Meditations

 

I am ruined 

I am lost 

 

this is a cheap poem

 

I will use very easy words this time 

 

hate. 

I hate you. 

Yes

like teenage angst 

all over again 

 

I did a lot of this to 

myself 

heart, too open

too willing

 

I am boiled by my own blood

dried up

used up

 

all flavor lost.

I'm Vintage

The shelf life was taxing

but I made it to maturation

the taste is excellent,

the aroma at peak.

.

The barrels tried to splinter

the cork tried to rot,

I circled my heart around

my mind and overlay

soul juice on the perimeter

for protection.

.

I emerged, full bodied,

I do go down harshly at first

sip, then it gets better

and better, and better.

We All Are Magnificent Creatures

Rich/poor, brilliant/imbecilic, healthy/dying, walking/crawling...the human is a magnicient entity that will perpetually surprise the universe! We rock! (and so do you).
