Life With Adam

Poetry, Humour, Thoughts, and Comics. Previously this promised Ramblings, but there was never any Rambling, well except this bit right here.

Pink Salt

At the mountain's foot lies an ancient sea,

Mined, packaged, and shipped to me.

The old and dead feed the living.

How long can the past keep giving?

-Adam Curtis

Monster

I can feel it, the slow sadistic bite

Of barbed blades digging deep to the marrow,

Suckling sanguine soul from my very core.

How do I stop feeding my monster?

-Adam Curtis

Plan

You have a plan

We all do

But by four

It's out the door

The moment you step through yours

Spring

A sinus minus mucus,

Free of nose blows woes.

Alas, for me, it's allergies.

Oh well, that's how it goes.

Writer's creed

In the early light

I shall sit and write.

When my heart is light

I shall sit and write.

At the eve of night

I shall sit and write.

Though my words may be gob-shite,

everyday I shall sit and write.

-Adam Curtis

In between, Crevices unseen, Where the baleen machine Has never been. You'll turn green When you glean I haven't cleaned Since I was a teen. #poem #poetsofinstagram #cartoon #cartoons #drawing #rhymes #badteeth

Doing and Dreaming

Easy is the dreaming,

Hard is the doing,

So make sure your dreams

Are worth pursuing.

-Adam Curtis

[readingwithadam]

Becoming

More and more

I am less,

And I'm afraid

I can't redress

What I've lost

To our mess.

[readingwithadam]

Aqua Vitae

Pour into me,

For I'm nearly empty.

Fill me with love.

Fill me with joy.

Fill me with grief and rage and heartache.

Fill me with the waters of life.

-Adam Curtis

[readingwithadam]

Sleepless

As I lay me down to sleep

I sense something this way creep.

A final thought tethers the soul;

Binding mind to body whole.

When, oh when will it abate?

Only when it's much too late.

No night left for me to rest;

In a moment the sun will crest.

The rays will shine, the dawn will break,

And it will be time to wake.

-Adam Curtis

Merry Christmas

That's all. I'll be back in the new year with more poems.

[readingwithadam]

Resist the Itch

Resist the itch,

Resist the itch,

Though she be

A persistent bitch.

If you scratch,

The sweet relief

Will only be

All too brief.

-Adam Curtis

[readingwithadam]

Creation

Something new

Something true

Something once a part of you

Has been born

Has been formed

Has been sailed into the storm

Your precious one

Finally done

It's time another is begun

-Adam Curtis

[readingwithadam]

Cell Block

I am warden and prisoner.

I hold the keys

And only I can set myself free.

-Adam Curtis

[readingwithadam]

Beauty in the dark

The light is gone but I still see

The beauty lying next to me.

Sight by touch;

Hands and lips.

A gentle press of hips on hips.

An autumn eve in the dark

Forever leaving memory's mark.

-Adam Curtis

Don’t Call Them Beanies

Winter nips at my noggin;

cranium cool as a cuke.

Grab your sled, let’s taboggin,

but don’t forget your toque.

-Adam Curtis
