beyond the doors of perception

0 posted 2003-10-11 03:55 AM


I'm not sure that this is done, it doesn't feel like it.  Just random ramblings through the canyons of my mind.  Just know that with the mental twists caused by alcoholism and addictions, my freaking mind is out to get me, sober or not.  I am, but my mind wants me back off of the Path.


My mind loves a rhyme
It loves beauty it defines
I look forward to each season
Poetry flows without reason
My grandchildren love me
think no one’s above me
Little do they know about…
My life running riot and rout
Or life’s twisted mysteries
Or Grandpa’s mystical twisteries
Zen Christian mystic meditating
Soul on fire thoughts of contemplating
Or his mental vagrancy
Or his moral vacancy  
Seeking higher ground
Turning once it’s found
Living for the moment
Thoughtless of pain I foment
Matters not as life is kind
I am loved by all but my mind

Our past actions
love to haunt us,
don't they?  But when
we let them go...
we breathe a little
easier.  We are always
hardest on ourselves...

but I see you're ready
to forgive yourself...
but you won't, because
you think you'll slip
backwards.

Not with those grandkids watching...
nope...you won't.

Wellll, that's just about as articulate as inarticulation can get! I confess I started reading because of the title, knowing how well you write -- and as usual, stayed for the pleasure.

This was good,would sound good done as a song,got good timing.
I liked the content too,having have survived a couple of addictions reminds me that the cure is really far easier than the alternative.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...

Your words are a gift that needs to be given.
Great job keep on giving

Sunshine ~ you're right about the grandkiddies and the backward slippin', thanks for the r n r
JAF ~ thank you kindly
bb ~ let us trudge the road of happy destiny
Marty ~ thank you very much.  I do hope that what I write touches others where they live, not so much in the head.  Peace

Joe...I liked reading the path of your mind...understand myself where you have been.  And if you want to join me...being addicted to poetry is a good thing!

yup Martie, I am still an addict, though my obsession is to write.  Being a former mental health professional, I still have that codependent angst to heal others.  Maybe I can affect that through my writings. thank you for you comments.
