heart rant

We've been through a lot together, my heart and I
Through thick and thin we've toughed it out
my heart guiding me through blizzards
And escorting me down every fork.

Blindly I followed
Filled with the simple logic that my heart knows best.
We share a common fate after all
What's good for it is good for me as well, right?

Well, that's what I thought.
Problem is my heart's a retard.
Born with a defect that no doctor foresaw
my heart doesn't have my best interests in mind.

For twenty four years
I let this appendage advise me
But like Karl Rove
my heart schemed with masochistic intent.

If those years were hours
my heart's got a single day life span.

Into the cage
Six feet underground
Locked in a lead box
With no key to be found
my heart stays.

From this day forth
I no longer follow my deceiving and malicious
heart
As my feet take the reigns
Life seems much simpler.

My feet and I share a common interest
And they've always been so supportive
They're familiar with this earth
And they keep my best interests in mind, right?

You live and you learn.

note to self

you are drunk
you are happy
everything you say is wonderful
everything you do is fun
everything you think is worthy of speech
so much energy
so much happiness

be free
be yourself
let go
let loose

Get Over It

where are the drugs?

I just saw you
like not even 2 hours ago
you'd think I would have gotten my fill
I'd think that at least, but apparently not.

Images, thoughts, feelings
coarse through my veins
en route to my heart
only to be energize and returned.

In my sleep you return again
in the most outrageous circumstances
that can't be a good thing.

I awake and there you are
lying next to me.

No, wait.

Now I'm awake and you're nowhere to be seen -
only felt.

I'm starting to worry
I need to get my mind on something else.

Drugs, drugs
where are the drugs?!

hurricane plamena

I close my eyes.

Suddenly
my stomach churns
my heart jumps
my face ripens
in reaction to
a thought.

Chemicals in my brain
burst forth
the levee broken, my mind is flooded
more, more! I cry.

I lose control
overcome with
feelings.

The thoughts cease
drowned by emotion
and I react.

My eyes snap open
blinded by chemicals I see only
you
your brain showering you in a similar manner.

Like machines we embrace
powered by drugs
two become one
nothing can stop us.

For a moment our souls
connect
briefly tasting the concoction of flavor that comprises our entire
being.

A pause.

Then the gutters fill
the sewers course
with weary chemicals
leaving barren streets behind.

The moment gone
we part
only now more curious
to taste what we missed.

And like noah I pray
for the streets of my mind to be
flooded
once again.

hearing loss

a tree falls in the woods
nobody's around
but one person hears it:
me.

the tree cries out
one final song before it
dies
beeeeeeeeeeeeee.

i'll never hear that tree again
whisper as it always had
its voice
silenced.

forever changed
i move on
the tree is gone
and soon forgotten.

gravity

Gravity pulls my
*
Every direction is
down.

WHAT THE F$*%?!
MAKE UP YOUR F*#$IN MIND!!

two

Your gaze penetrates my
being
splitting it in two:
emotion
reason.
