if sentiments were alcohol...



Oh dear blog I neglect you. I do not mean to but I am not sure who other than myself really reads my inane, emoted drivel?

Oh the things birthed in the glow of a sleeping pill hangover


pouring my soul onto paper,

yes here we go again,

you’re living in each subtle innuendo,

and loudly echoing in every refrain,

even when details escape me,

and the picture falls apart,

you’re a kaleidoscope that flickers

from the tattered corners of my heart.

drunk again on memories, high on bittersweet sentimentality,

I reach for the noose but you pull tighter,

I simply can never be free,

I take three steps forward but your ghost pulls me several back,

I build my mighty fortress

but you sail through the crack,

a running joke without a punchline, a chorus without a verse,

though my whole is progressively stronger,

a part is feels all the worse,

time again I pull your weed, with roots anchored ever so deep

against better judgment I make choices

because I sow, I shall reap

fumbling for sensibilities,

so close yet oh so far

you’re the obscuring rain-cloud

no more my guiding stars
