waking up?
-dang it my head hurts
a tumbleweed of sheets
and flesh...
and flesh!?-
next to me on me around me
that Divine Being
seductively smoking cigarettes?
-wait-what-who are you?
Aphrodite? Shiva?
last night i called you God?
last night...oh...
-that great abyss of thought
-glimpses flashes-
drunken poets crying for Almighty God
and then nothing-
-now here next to you

We went to Heaven
Nirvana-Dharma
Abracadabra-
-oh-by the way
hi my name is-
does it matter? you know
more than my mother
You know more than all-

-get up get out
out of the bed
no more heaven for me-not today
-thank you much it was fun-
yeah-sure
i'll call ya next weekend
you bring truth
i'll bring brandy and cigars
and we can argue then look for
Heaven- ?

i'm a little late on this reply, but better late than never.  this poem is hardly misplaced, it's about my spiritual journey, how i'm developing on the lines of faith and spirituality, sure it is in no way a conventional christian development (i mean i don't adhere or not adhere to the christian God) but it's still a spiritual journey, so it's not misplaced at all, thanks though for the reply joyce
