    Crippled

    Broken
    so time can never heal
    Left here upon a spinning wheel
    Naked,
    Bloody,
    before the world
    Never again to be whole
    Wisdom spoke saying even a dry well
    can spill out a little hope sometime

    Needle ready,
    no more pain
    Glorious elixir,
    here's my vein
    Funny,
    hazy,
    glassy,
    grin
    My broken wing on the mend again

    Here I go, chasing dragon's
    along the Alcoa highway
    Sleepless nights turn to day
    She still haunts me
    in every way
    Wish I didn't feel like a worn out chair
    Someday
    maybe I'll begin to care

    Guess it's time to lay it down
    Mr. Soma,
    Lady Vicodin,
    Sir Valium,
    come knock on my door
    Open armed I woke up on the floor

    Today must be the horse roundup
    Could get lucky and make a score
    Would be nice to find
    a little brown cube from Lebanon
    Mushroom tea might fill the night

    Thought I saw Timothy looking kind of leary
    bet he's got a micro dot
    There goes Kesey up on the hill
    rolling orange barrels down, down, down

    Hunter's here without fear
    loathing the new sunrise
    We sit and talk, have a laugh
    discussing injectable dreams
    Jim and Jack pass a grey goose
    with absolute vigor
    Even talked me into having a jigger

    With all these friends and wonderful favors
    for some strange reason she's still there
    Right beside my noticeable pain
    nothing ever seems to change..........

    This is an absolute gem of a poem.. Your metaphores, though many many not see for what they truly are.. are outstanding to say the very least. Wonderful job lucky.. Though, please remember, tis the worn out chair that is gives the most comfort.. it bends with you and welcomes you into its warmth. It knows you, how you move, where to hug.. A worn out chair is my most prized posession. It knows me. Thanks for sharing this. This poem truly touched my heart.. I feel the pain it holds for all to see.. Hugs.. SG

    I knew you would get me in my broke down heart. A smile hides well what lay just beneth the surface.

    our demons come with prepacked names that invoke pleasure. peel off the label only to find death has crawled inside to trick us into her cold embrace. i too have traveled down its irresistable path, luckily the birds did not find all my breadcrumbs, this time. stay strong brother, i love your work. until next time.

    Man You too as brothers in arms we must travel each rocky path we find ourselves on.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
