    five part heart

    part one:All addictions start with suffering.All addictions end with suffering.part two:Addiction beginswhere silence screams.Voids filled withthe cold retreat of alcohol,tobacco’s dry whisper,the sharp thrill of cocaine,gambling’s pulse,screens pulsing past midnight,the slow hunger for shopping,the aching need for moisture from...

    • hello dearest Benny my pain is just too great to live any other way I’ve really honestly tried more than once and I will never willingly put myself through that again… this is powerful if you have a better way to cope I am happy for you my friend ❤️

      • The root cause of all suffering is thinking.That’s where the answer lies.
        I coped by reading as much as I could about depression, grief,the way our minds work and trick is.The best material,without sounding religious,was in Buddhism.
        Happy to share some authors with you if you’re interested.
        🙏🙏🙏🙏

    Mirrors Within

    Mirrors mirroring not what mirrors mirror.   Drinking this mirage, emulating my form.   Echoes of reflecting thoughts exuding an air of sorrow.   The presences within the glass, weeps deeply at its glassy heart.   A blind man I am, staring into this mirror.   Blinded in darkness, yet sighting the pain.   These curtained eyes, sightful...

    The Jaws of Psychosis

    The phantom voices are soundless unsoundness to the normal world.   With my own tongue, psychosis cracks this lash, scolding the empty air.   Give one hell, give another heaven, but where is my heaven?   Fracture this jawbone - this jabbering embarrassment within my vacant face!   Raked over hellish coals, blistering with utterances, my mind...

    Alcohol

    I took a drink to disappear into my own mind. There I am whirled in the boiling presence of a thought-ridden hell. So many delusional rumors expanding. finding their way through a suddenly permeable moral barrier. The confines from which my bones have...

    • I do not remember when I found out Amityville was in Long Island New York. But the first thing I thought of was the house created on top of a burial ground. That movie I’ve had seen twice

      • My parents, like many heard about the Lutz family leaving their house and went to the property to possibly witness or see any strange occurrences. This was December 1975. They saw nothing. The family left the home completely furnished, as though they went out to the movies or something. The story made the headlines that the home was haunted. George Lutz spoke to a writer named Jay Anson. Anson recorded about 45 hours worth of material from George & Kathy Lutz. This was used for the basis of the book and eventually a movie.

    • Thank you Mary. I appreciate that.

    • Powerfully penned, Keith. Excellent write my friend, this is a fucking classic piece of film. James Brolin was a wood chopping son of a bitch in this flick. lol. Appreciate you.

    • Something about haunted houses always gives me pause. Mainly because it’s supposed to be
      be the one place you should feel protected from the outside world. Something about the Amityville movies always made me think of my grandmother.
      I’m not sure how it all started but my grandmother has this thing about blessing her families vehicles and houses. Not a priest but just her and her Spanish prayers. She has long passes away but my mom kept the tradition going and always gives me a blessed rosary to hang on my cars rear view mirror. When I was younger I would roll my eyes but now that I’m older not so much. I don’t mean to ramble on but this took me back! Total classic!

      • Cool story Adelphina. Thanks for sharing about your grandmother.
        I think the Amityville movies create a sense of uneasiness because theirs something sinister about the look of the house. If you go pass the house today, there aren’t any characteristics that will take you back to those haunting images during the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.
