The Haunted Consciousness

Face time without Skype.

There’s no light for my weed,

So you are more than welcome to enter my brain

And spark up the flame.

Smoke to it...

I'm soft spoken.

I'm going insane trying to stay sane

And it's hard to smile when they always talk down on your name.

I'm handing you the blade,

So you can cut open my veins.

It's important to acknowledge him.

Who's to blame?

A bloody river,

Sipping on Bloody Mary’s,

No cherries,

But thank you very,

For the offer of your grace.

God blessed me

Because I'm not in the rat race.

He placed me on top

Just for having faith in more than his name.

That's a no brain…

Not looking for fame,

Just my soul.

I don't know why it's lost

Because I never let it go.

When it returns to me

There won’t be any more out of bodies,

Just plenty of stories to be told for everybody.

How cold!

Nope!

It's still hot out

Even when I'm all alone.

I'm happy with me,

So I don't need you.

Just the THC:

The Haunted Conscious.

You can't block this awkwardness

Of a man who loves this.

spoken like a true, defiant, pot smoking, stand alone, rebellious human being - I like the tone, I like the stepping out of the rat race, I like it that he believes he knows his place. I like it that he is looking for his soul - the answers, offered up so freely when smoking - the trick is to keep those channels open when you are straight X

nice work you X

Yea, you pretty much summed it up. I use weed to better my thinking as well as myself and it goes to show that it's not a horrible drug that is stigmatized
Thank you so much for reading hon, I am always more than pleased to hear from you!

Interesting poem, what is a rat race, I've never heard of it.

Can you explain.

[sinNsincerity]

Sure, it's a way of life in which people are caught up in a fiercely competitive struggle for wealth or power.

a little weed and a huge haunting of conscious ... wow!! Glad to see you haven't lost your grip. my friend!!!

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you Alf!

One of the major things I enjoy in reading your poetry, is that this is you, nobody can emulate what you do, what you say, or what you think. Though I'm not sure you may like where you have been (all the time, at least) it seems to me that you are heading in the right direction now lol!!!

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you for noticing because I do my best to keep it "me."
Although writing is fun, I take very seriously and would love to dream that one day my work would make a contribution towards literature as well as bring enjoyment to as much as it may reach. I would just like people to get out of themselves and gain a different perspective of things just for a moment.
Most certainly I'm heading in the direction and I'm blessed for that. There's so much beneath the surface to write about and I'm still working on that.
Have a great day Alf. It's always a pleasure!

Thank you Rudi!

I for some reason am not feeling your soul in this one as much as the others, it is not reaching me. It feels strained and dark, like a shadow trying to pour itself through a keyhole. Sorry.

[sinNsincerity]

That's because there's more to me behind just one poem. Different situation bring out a different me and I use that thought to write in different ways...
Don't be sorry, just try to put yourself in my shoes for a moment...

[Celie Rose]

I liked your poem. It was full of serious emotion. Keep writing
Good job

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you so much Celie, I highly appreciate it!

DMX. Imagine. DMX is reading this out loud. In his throaty deep raspy voice. Chills. Yes. I loved this. So real and honest. And I may be a slight DMX fan but I totally read this the second time through with his voice in my head. Well done and well written

[sinNsincerity]

Yea, there's a genius within his madness and I feel the same about myself.
I'm not one dimensional, so I try to show that in several styles because that's just the way my mind works. I hope that others may notice that they aren't one dimensional as well and hopefully embrace all of themselves as have I...
Thank you so much for reading and leaving me your thoughts.
It means the world to me.
