A Poem by John Patrick Robbins AKA Gonzo

Its like a car without a engine on a perfect summer afternoon a empty highway

nothing more beautiful do i know.

Your a great writer the bullshit comments are given to help sugar coat the truth.

 

Like  being told you have cancer in the same breath the doctor ses have a good day

and hands you a overpriced bill.

I see it so i dont have to hear it from other's to know.

 

Its dead in the water like a ship out at sea yerning for a wind to grace the sails .

She's a twisted lover who'll never be true to any one person.

Who could f*****g blame her anyways.

 

A half empty bottel and a blank page they go togather for me as misery and love.

Smother the creative fire and you'll just stink up the party.

Sorry i cant stand to be around.

 

Telling jokes bullshit goes better with some funny lies.

Lets dance befor the closing time call breaks the illusion my dear.

I'll hold you close as once befor and pretend instead of know.

What was can never again be.

 

 

Bitter like shots from a seven year old bottle captured rage isnt as free as new found vice.

We were lovers now were more like slaves.

junkies desperate for that fix .

 

You cant make what isnt there.

I sit at the desk and try to imagine it the way it once so easily flowed.

Sweetheart can I view that picture a solider so far from everything we once knew.

 

Two worlds exist and im not all that in to sugar coated lies.

The chair is empty now as the page.

The dark and light just fly out of your lines and letters, my friend.. The contrasts of views.. of the world that too often is filled with a horrid mix of metaphors. Powerful!

"I'll hold you close as once befor and pretend instead of know.
What was can never again be." "We were lovers now were more like slaves.
junkies desperate for that fix .:
Beautiful lines echos the despair in this amazing raw glimpse into the soul. How often I too have felt this..to be bound to nothingness...
" Two worlds exist and im not all that in to sugar coated lies.
The chair is empty now as the page." This line fits my mood with such intensity that I wonder how did not write it myself...
