Love is an Addiction

According to my dear mother

Love is an addiction

Just like any other 

Bet you never knew 

I was addicted to you 

Didn’t know what to do

Always feeling blue

Whenever we were apart

Right from the start 

I gave you my heart 

You tore it apart

You wanted my soul  

That was your goal

You wanted full control 

I said no, you’ll have to go 

And so I play my role

Writer’s Block

Every now and then I look at my pen

Look at my pen and wonder

If we should be down by the sea

Away from all the thunder

My pen and I, an azure sky

We’d have no time for slumber

Could we then write both day and night

Or would that be a blunder

Can’t blame the clock for writer’s block

Time is just a number

“That’s the thing about kindness. The best way to spread it is chaotically, lawlessly and randomly until everything around you starts to be madly beautiful.”

Our Desolation

A silly damn fool kidding himself resolutely halfheartedly holding on to a place that was never even there and a time at least several years gone Now lost and alone within himself no love left to give or even to share   an indigent beggar of his own making  have you any friend perchance to spare Sitting too long with our desolation  some claim we grow comfortable in it  ever more tired from perpetually taking will he ever wake up and try to give a bit   Sometimes we grow comfortable in our own shit 12 Step Humor and Wisdom

sonmulent’s gold

* nightly anticipating a visit  to the land of dreams  literally, not metaphorically  as poets, optimists & escapists  waxing romantic do there  i’m in friendly company & its confines, though random & undefined are a product of my own  life, soul & mind i’ve always felt  it’s been ‘slept on’ - pun 'tended - seen as a last resort, relegated to the occasional retelling if remembered, or mythical inspiration for  artists & scientists alike

maybe i’ve maintained the internals of a kid, perhaps i possess  a non-infernal id,  but always have i deemed  the dreamstate a most desirable & sacred place fascinating  rather than dreadful - i find, parsing the questions  roaming my subconscious mind, suppressed urges & yearnings  in cinematically swirled sequences surfaced courtesy of my DNA’s worldcrafting embed

i’ll chance the occasional  sweat & terror inducing nightmares  & their associated Oneroi,  if it means meandering through fanciful frames & fragments  from the amazing maze of me, planked -  first-person explorer mode 

& how fun is flying? vying in best case scenarios beyond my wildest…(you know)

should it not happen  any given night,  there’s always a chance to pillow prospect the next -

still beats trudging through  most tundra’d days & nights in determinate time yet another chance  to mine the Morphean ore,  this time for treasures  ever elusive & fascinating to find forevermore. * 4/19 - lebuc - somnulent’s gold

Trust

You’ve lost hope, too many lovers let you down you haven’t found a single one you could rely on when the laughter came, they were ever around yet never when you needed a shoulder to cry on Can’t you see, I can be there for all these things yet I’m afraid I cannot give you this offer for free while I’m willing to share all that tomorrow brings first you will have to learn to put your trust in me
