  • Morning Coffee

    It was Saturday morning.Rise and sunshine had just arised.And you slowly wake up,shaking off the drowsiness. You go to your handy coffee maker machine.To give you the energy you need to start.You brew the coffee. In a mug,colored in black.The mug...

    liquid reflection

      Sea takes hold of me— a pale star through drifting fog, my chest becomes wind.   Storm breaks in my bones, timbers groan, rain lashes skin, I am the vessel.   Then the waters still, a mirror without a sound, my despair reflected.         .

    The Price Is Never Fair

    Whiskey river flowing through my mind Unable to remember which way is down Needing to escape from the daily grind Waiting for insanity to come back around   Hooked on the feeling of remaining numb Casting blame on this foolish heart of mine Chasing after love...

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Neville. So glad you connected with write my friend. No, it’s never easy. It’s a voice that lingers in the voids of my mind. Slow and steady wins the race, so I’ve heard. Appreciate you.

    • I spotted the songs hidden within. Yeah, I’ve been lucky being I never participated in alcohol or drugs. They were everywhere but I declined and I’m glad for it.

      You’re a courageous guy for being able to go through that and come out sane. (and a great writer). I’ve known people who couldn’t do it and spiraled into oblivion. Good on you, Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’m glad you declined as well, you looked temptation in the face and didn’t bend. Oh, I spiraled into oblivion brother. But somehow managed to crawl out of the abyss. I was lucky, not everyone finds the way out. Appreciate you.

    • You’re a marvelous writer Damian. This is well written and quite honest. Great work!

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It is a reward to get second chance, but it was important for me to understand why and how I became so addicted in the first place. I understand me better now, I’ve even slowly started to like myself a little. lol. That’s my true transformation my friend. Appreciate you.

    • My best friend from middle school has been sober for over 17 years. I’m so proud of her.
      It took her pound of flesh though. Completely different person when drunk. Mean, violent, and in all honesty sometimes sad.
      No one wakes up in the morning and says I want to be an alcoholic. The struggle was real and I am so thankful she got sober.
      Hang in there and tell the voices to shut the hell up. You got this. One day at a time.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Adel. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Indeed, no one wakes up wanting to be an alcoholic. Sometimes the pound of flesh doesn’t come all at once anyhow, the older I get the effects show up more mentally and physically. As I’ve said many times, “No one comes out of addiction unscathed.” I was a different person as well, it brought out my bad qualities. Glad your friend got clean, one day at a time. Appreciate you.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, PAR. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Your commentary means a lot to me. Appreciate you, Paulo.

    • I’ve always felt that if you’re still going…even limping…you’re not broken. You’re fractured. Those fractures heal with aches same as breaks, we both know that. You are fierce in your approach to truth, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I tend to go for the jugular when it comes to truth. lol. Fractured huh? I like the way you broke that down my friend. Always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.

    • When it comes to the heart matters it is always difficult, very difficult to separate the feelings from the mind and make sense of everything… Unfortunately, sometimes we learn in the hard and painful way, and sometimes we need years to completely get over it and grow, the pain is real here, well written my friend.

    For the Vulture Waiting

    Every dayanother bite,another piece of my being taken.Like cloth, It shreds.Through lightning bloodmy mind mere dustat end of day.Life - the vulture,with disdainful agilitychews slowly,rips at meready to feedon my carcass.
