April 23rd or so 1998: Slivers

I think of something Higher

Governing my state, my thoughts

My thoughts, distraction and petty nurturing

With a WHIZZ and a BANG

They fly by

I catch them briefly

Just oh so briefly

Just shards, shattered images

Only sometimes do I catch them

In slivers of shining moonlight

Just slivers

April 24th 1998: Acceptance

I’m bummed out because I wasn’t able to finish that poem thingy that I started the other day. I have no idea why but I just wasn’t able to get into it. No matter what state of mind I was able to shoot into my vein.  So instead of lingering on it I scrapped the whole damn thing, I started another one and got a lot further with it, if I could find it that is.

That poem was supposed to be about two objects of my desire, love for a girl and the love for my drug, and the struggle to choose between the two. I haven’t felt that way and while and I found it difficult to get into that frame of mind. The next time my brain starts functioning that way again maybe I will finish it off.

I don’t like the fact that all  this poetry that I write (or at least attempt to write) these days is always concerning a will topics like love, or love  related subjects, it’s really quite God damn annoying. I guess it’s understandable because only thing that’s been on my mind for the last couple of years is Janice and how strongly I love(d?) her and how she could not reciprocate that love.   It has had a substantial impact on me and my thinking. I guess I have made that pretty apparent by now, huh?

Anyway, this whole situation is still getting to me, I mean I still think about it every day, I know I should be over her by now but I just can’t. No matter how  I try, or how many times I tell myself “just forget about it, forget about her” and I still love her, I do. I am however glad to admit that I am not still bitter about her not wanting to be with me. I have come to accept the fact that I love her and I probably always will love her. But she is something that I can never have. She doesn’t want me or anything like me. If anything ever does happen between us, I will go with it and having the happiest, most filled man alive, but I’m not to spend time wishing, hoping and praying.

So it is settled then… I love her.

May 10th 1998: ???

Little translucent being

The medallion of innocence

Carries a thick accent

A beautiful sleep begins

Trailing off on a secret nod

With a sweep, sweep, sweep

The custodian sweeps me away

I, unaware of my state,

Am pushed off into the gutter

My sleep, undisturbed

The little translucent being

Innocent in all your glory

How is it I know you?

Your thick accent so familiar

Almost a comfort to me

 

I wrote this down on a scrap of paper in the bathroom stall at school. I think I am way too fucking high to finish it right now.
