I'm going out for a while...

Here's some more poetry. It needs a bit of editing but it's mostly there.

Enjoy.



I took a lot of life today,
I found some in a draw,
if was better than I Remember and it slowed the oncoming train of old self-doubt and procrastination, masturbation for the soul,

The sunshine I ingested tasted bitter, not too much,
but it was better than the self-harm and it didn't burn to touch,
and though it feels to wrong to be perpetually high,
I'd rather fly kites than sit tight and await the shakes of withdrawal,
I'd rather ride bikes and see sites than believe I wasted a second of it all,

And so I hit the ball for six and out,
bowed as the crow rose and washed away the self-doubt,
took a running leap and grinned
that I was floating downwind,
downstream,
turned off my mind and relaxed,
kicked back,
took a knapsack full of dreams
and sowed stars into the seams,

It wasn't long before regret kicked in,
like needing a piss after too much gin,
but I was long gone up shit creek with a bike a view and a desire to run,
far gone like a madman with a shiny gun,
and when life,
holds you at the point of a knife,
it's better to say "bring it"
than fall to you knees and pray that there's a way to stop the incessant dream of breaking the cage,
to stop old age and relieve the glory days, and youthful ways in which we'd fuck with vigour,
take a slice of 3.14159 and wish it were bigger,

and so continue we mush
straight into the sunrise and sunset,
dive into the pool of wanton regret,
that one day I'll look back and remember the sweat,

and,
I will make the toes of life curl,
make her black-out for fifteen minutes and come back for more as the joy unfurls,
lick the soft inner thigh of pleasure,
take the leisure to afterwards enjoy the embrace
and whisper about how her face,
is the most beautiful explosion in the cosmos of the human mind,
that the ties that bind can keep us coming back for more,
and that there is more to give and more to take,
hearts to love and hearts to break,
with a road to follow, shackled to its twists and turns, wandering with a soul that yearns,

I put on travelling shoes and headed east,
to feast upon the wanders of this green and pleasant land,
to stand hand in hand with a different ghost of a different coast,
and once my feet were ensnared to the road I was free,
only taking with me a smile and a whole lotta love,
one white dove,
and a peace song for Palestine,

I took a lot of life today,
I almost overdosed,
but it's riding bikes
not doing drugs,
so I'll gladly do the most.
