Intoxication-
The heart struggling against the mind's raiding armies.
Intoxicating-
To over take, make sense of the chaos.
Intoxicated-
Weeping the broken dreams from resting eyes.
Intoxicated-
You came into my life as a friend.
Intoxicating-
A lover to remain within the tainted heart.
Intoxication-
Within life of us, I learn to be handsome again.
Intoxication-
To be poet and not so much the war hungry knight.
Intoxicating-
Within the stained heart, I cherish you.
Intoxicated-
In my filthy hands I hold a fragile wish.
A wish for the darkness to blow away on the wind's wings.
nice
this was a great poem as well a little depressing with the darkness being there and all!
Yes
Dark and moody, but the whole collection The Hero has Fallen is about me going back to solve my past. I have done a lot of self work these last two years and have crossed many mile stones. Forgiving, but not forgetting where I have gained the strength from. I had spent thirteen years in addiction. I stopped the first seven years ago and stopped drinking five years ago. Last year I started to, well, clean house in a mental fashion. Bury the dark skeletons, let the bones rot, chase off the spooks, dust off the binding weight, all for a better present and future.
Thank you.
