OK, OK, OK no way to say anything with meaning. Tell you the truth but they’d be yesterday’s lies through an alcoholic haze the illusion of pressure released where freedom rings in unsympathetic deaf ears. Blinded through twisted years of barbed wire fears. Haunting the few dreams breaking, Breaking through the drug induced sleep. Remembering the back streets of propain. Remember the police car stopping on the one way empty street so dead inside. The endless smoke of the joker’s deception. Cruising the streets walking ...

Title: Hurt and Heaven
Author: tom
Poem: Many cry and laugh in the same day, minute, or maybe hour. At once, many times I have done both. Is it my curse or my power? On the low side, this affliction destroys me; kills me from the inside, drowning in unforgiving emptiness. I can't breathe, can't get the air I need to feel more love, no matter who's already there. Everything is grey, devoid of color, heavy, slow, about to go over. Ah, my friend, the high side will come again: goose bumps, an audible ring so full of love I don't need a thing. I feel like a man-god, an emperor or king. No way I want to be normal and lose this thing . Normal can't reach to the outer limits of emotion. That puddle of feelings they walk through to me is an ocean. Up and down, again and again. Take this pill, that pill. Let's get dumbed out again. What! Another pill? Can't I just be me? I know, I know, it's how it has to be. No normal man has loved like I have loved. An overpowering presence lifting me far above. Without this affliction you could never understand. I've reached the upper and lower limits of man. My whole heart was given at a manic time. Everything was larger than this life of mine. Her beauty was overwhelming inside and out. My soulmate. I knew I'd found her; there was absolutely no doubt. I would've given my life for her in the blink of an eye. I prayed with thanks each day to the One in the Sky. We were to be married. Soon my low side was even high, so I never even told her of this. My sickness scared her the day she found out. My insides died then. Now I'm living without. Be careful about falling in love with this loathesome disease. It could hurt you far worse; bring you to your knees. Good luck, my friends, with Hurt and Heaven your life will be good... just take your medicine! : )...

Title: Going to sleep MaNiC
Author: Latisha Savage
Poem: "Ok close your eyes. Go to sleep. What time is it? 1:40am. I need to wash my hair. Ooh I should crochet some barefoot sandels. Where did I put my thread? Did I put the food away? I can't believe she said that to me. What was I just thinking about? Go to sleep. What should I put on my son for school tomorrow? Is it going to rain or will it be sunny? I don't need to sleep right now. I'll just get up and wash my hair. "Labels, that would be a great title to a poem. Maybe I should go type that. Maybe I should go online and see if anyone is on. Why didn't my father love me. Why didn't he want to get to know me? Ooh this bedroom would look really calming if it was painted honey mustard. And maybe I should put new crown molding. What was I just thinking about? Maybe I should plant gladiolus in the front yard. When is the guy coming to cut the grass? I should call my mom. Oh my goodness was that a mouse I just heard. I really would like to take my son to Walt Disney World. I really loved it when my family took me there when I was younger. Should I just go ahead and sue her? I really can't believe she did that to me. Ooh there's paint out in the garage. I wonder if I could make a painting. No, maybe I shold draw a picture of my husband. I think he would like that. What time is it? 1:41 am. I don't need to sleep. I'm going to get up and start painting this room."...
