Ok, so I'm stoned. So I'm going to try and construct a poem for you folks. Here goes...

 

I'm breathing flames

To die another time

Trying not to forget

But to forget trying

 

Shit...that was pretty good, for a start at least (at least in my stoned mind). Sounds like something that would be good for a anti-pot commercial. D'oh!

Why do this to yourself

Time after time

Trying not to forget

But to forget trying

 

Taken by yourself

Time after time

Trying not to forget

But to forget trying

 

 

Forget about you

You drunken fool

Troubled by youth

You are denial

 

Remember the pain

From all that you are

Troubled by fear

Wearing its scar

 

Always remember

Who that you are

Troubled and here

No matter how far

 

 

It's getting longer...and now I'm writing it for this forum

Posted

Choices made are past

And presently to come

Seldom comes my way

But I'm not yet done

 

When I come to rest

Is anyone's guess

I can only hope

That's your best

 

When I come to

To my delight

I can only hope

For the coming night

I can only hope

For the coming night
