Make an Effort like a Lotus in Fire – beat56
December 2, 2021
aeons and ages of the poets
the jewelled
reverse
waterfall of
poetry
rain
rubies
on our tired
sapphiredead
sapphiredread
souled visions
cosmic delight
mock the
desolation
the heart is for love
head for drugs
somewhere in between
poetry
shipwreck with bliss
-for Jim Morrison
shipwreck with bliss
the crystal ship
pain rain rain pain
a thousand pills a thousand pills
a million ways
to kill the time
the reason delivered
why you’d rather die rather fly
rather fly fly fly rather fly
Chai tea and cigarettes
books sit quietly
on their shelf
old grunge records
in their soul sleeves
I sit lonesome
like Coleridge
or old Kerouac
a divine fragility
to read such beauty words
the drug was childhood
the comedown was memory
