A Drunk Existence

Posted on May 11, 2023 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Is there a higher calling

Than always falling

To the bottle

That binds

Us closer to our grave

In moments of weakness

I hope

And send hope

To others

Who turn to this everyday

So the drunk existence goes

As we all know

Quietly

Away

Bitterly

Bitterly barking

In the fading hallway

All through the towns

And evenings

So this life is

Barely making it by

One had takes care

And the other

Could care less

In a world of confusion

And hope

Hold Me Up

Posted on April 22, 2023 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Hold me up

When the world

Comes crashing down

Around me

On the ground

Where my feet lay

In the moments

Of doubt

We have each other

And for that

We will never go

Without

Technical Wonder

Posted on April 22, 2023 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

I am in a state of wonder

At the technical words

In the place

And in the time

As of now

In our own homes

In our own mouthes

I say things I wish

I could take

Back

Everyday

When the new day starts

All the words

We have to say

Worldly

What we have

Is what we give

Bitter Ends

Posted on April 21, 2023 by acupofsongwriting

All but bitter

Ends

In the end

Of what happens

With no light

And hope

So I set sail

To a new space

And time

Buildings

Buildings show

The hope of collaborations

And work

Together

One brick and wall at a time

This hopes are to be remembered

In these difficult times

Another Turn

Posted on March 25, 2023 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

In the moment of truth

Hopefully

The light comes through

In life lived

On the edges

Instead of the middle

Of the day

So I hold hope

For another turn

Around in the light

Of what is hopeful and

True

The Joy

Reply

One laugh

Can turn the day

Around

In a way

That makes it

Stay

In a positive light

In a good way

Together Again

Posted on March 24, 2023 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

What hopes lie

In the in between

Of life

When all else fails

And the world

Goes off the rails

I hope that me and

My love

Will be together soon

For in being back alone

We find any place

To be a home
