Honey

Truth

I walked alone last night,
Fucked the couch and lost the fight,

Never saw the light,
and asked for more to be justified,

Forget me not,
No reprise,
Simply, stupid
Quite
Disguised

Grant me this,
Silentness
Altitude and solitude

Ask not why
I touched the sky
Became the
Attitude

Justify not
This simple plot
For to be
Just me,

I am flat again
Con-stant-ly
Do I, not agree?

Give me peace
This at least
Tormented for
release

I only ask
Just to grasp
A paradox
Of my loss

And to be
What you see
The mafia
Integrity

Constantly wrapped
Up in
Begin again
O' my chin
A-chinny chin chin

I am the wolf
Clean this up
Forget it all
And drink my cup

Tomorrow
A brand new day
To f**k it up
A whole new way

Cheese and rice
Sus ta no sense
Jesus Christ
The must to pence

I am Noah, Adam and I'm Moses,
Job disgusted
Mathew noted

When I'm gone
Simply wasted
Perhaps then I'll be
Tasted.

Todd, This was a very interesting piece to read. Multiple planes of reference are explored, which suggests some indecision by the narrator to choose which path is the one to follow. (By the way, all of them fit in well except the mafia reference...why?) A write like this one, in which many options are outlined, allows a reader to pick and choose the interpretation that best suits their whims. Very nice. take care...dan

It feels an air of depression about it, perhaps even resignation to despair. In that way it could be one of Byron's works; all about the glory of gloom. But cheer up a bit...life's too short to mourn our own state or the state of others..there's work to be done and the living must get on with it since the dead aren't going to be of any help at all. As one whose known depression (bipolar that I am) I've fought my own demons in the light and drug them there when they did not want to go. They always seemed quite smaller and weaker than they pretended in the shadows. Enjoyed the read. Keep pouring on the ink in lines. Bless.

What a good piece my friend. Definitely caught my attention with the first two lines of this poem. Good work!
