Here is a poem written by Thome, my rain-loving walking-chum
i
sometimes i itch
for caffeine near midnight,
is it near midnight already?
again?
The artist’s choice of drug
alteration of perception,
stamina and energy!
alteration of mind
it’s late
and I don’t want
to spew out some old
tired cliche
like
“addiction
is a double edged sword”
we’re waiting for the rain
to come and cleanse
our sins –
the tv said there’d be rain
(damn weather man!)
like a sundial in the closet,
we all find ourselves
misplaced
(only, we put ourselves here)
“keep the coffee comin’, babe!”
addiction is self-administered
poison
(psyche)
and rain doesn’t cleanse anything
that piss doesn’t cleanse
mossy rock, waterfall, desert sands
and cacti,
visions of old sages
addiction, knowledge, psyche, words,
meditation, prayer,
chantings
my mind wanders back
to the sundial in the closet
gathering dust
ii
experiencing early childhood
in the 1990’s,
the birth of hip-hop,
disco is dead
long live…

this is awsome
Yes, he is a talented poet. To see him recite live for poetry night is exquisite. Glad it was enjoyed, cheers!

Nice poem! Do you belong to some kind of a poetry group where you recite your poems? He did a great job with this one, but I have heard you reciting some of yours, too, and they’re amazing.
Thome and Sir both recited poems for a poetry night here, locally. Unfortunately, that has ended but there are other options we are looking into. It is quite addicting. I want to find one that is just for poetry. Considered starting one 😉 Glad you enjoyed it! He does marvelous work. 😀 I hope to do a poetry video of him reciting soon. Thanks for drizzling by dear friend!! Cheers,

That would be scrumptous, Ms. Toad. 🙂
