A Stiff Round of Truth

Solitary me

alone in a crowded bar..

Contemplating the meaning of life

beneath flickering neon lights..

Onward drags the night..

Alcohol fueled delusions..

Reality now a mocking illusion..

Truth drops in and proclaims

it has no use for me..

So I am through seeking out that fraud ..

We mutually conclude that life has no meaning

as we pour each other drinks to mutually forget..

I just pray there is a morning again

Five Pack

The ailing beast that is me
can feel my once vibrant life
gradually ebbing away…

More and more every day
I fall behind the pack
who historically
do not slow their pace
to accommodate lame stragglers..

Time for me to meet death on my own
and die in the shadows all alone..

Do not slather my fate with sorrow
as you speed toward a tomorrow
that I will never get to see…

For we all share the same destiny

Maybe we will reconvene someday ?

Glorious Silence

As I get older I find
I gotta constantly raise
the volume button.. 

Straining to hear
diminishing praise
fading in the distance..

Taking refuge in the silence
and the age old solace
of never hearing 
what I don’t wanna believe

Truth and Dare

Bright is the light
the nearer we get to TRUTH…

It can illuminate the way
or incinerate our eyes…

A double edged laser sword
this T word..

Respect it’s consequence
and oft dangerous application…

So know your truths before entering
into this potentially explosive covenant
