Unplugged and Waiting
I’ve got the drugs in my system
Controlling as we speak
Pulsing through my body
Making my heart weak
Pump fuck and my brain speaks tongues
Whispering in colors as the juice takes toll
Killing all that’s left of me
Fucking with my
Divine
Karmic
Upset
Logic
Obscure dream of purgatories true form
Lifeless as we know it
Drugs and my new God
When He speaks
She cuts us off
And cuts us down
From the ground
He raises up our halo
Of thorn and rock
And cuts into my throat as I scream
Can you hear that
Inquisition
Raping all your peaceful dreams
Time has taken
All apologies
Placed them in the dirt
Can you see that
Immobilized
Movement march for hope
I can dream it
Undertaking
Seems to always drown my
Upward
outlook
Future
Dreamweb
Take me deeper to the core
When She speaks
We cut Him off
She raises up our halo
So dream away the night with their eyes

I'm not totally sure that I completely got the meaning of this piece but I am going to give it a shot. While on whatever drugs are in your system you have met an alternate God and an alternate lifestyle that is waiting in the wings to expose itself to the unexpereinced and unitiated.

Close Pete very close though
Close Pete
very close
though the alternate god is actually the One and Only
just a new way of looking at it
I am unexpereinced and unitiated...meaning has escaped me...
though the drugs are keeping me from seeing the actual truth
which is why i only tend to write when i am "controlled"
i try to avoid seeing the truth when it's staring me in the face
sorry
that's just my stupid ignorant way
For all it's worth...
Thanks Jesse
I appreciate that fact that you let me know I was close and was not just some kind of nut job. Jesse, I need a huge favor from you. Please read my piece called "A Key Event", which is more of a lyrical story than a hearts and flowers poem. I happen to think it is very good but most readers are hopskotching away without leaving any comment. Would you let me know if it has any merit or if it is just an overblown piece of sow dung. I would appreciate it.
Your buddy,
Pete
ok, lemme try...
here's my take on the meaning. when you're living under a constant burden you tend to create new definitions for your feelings to make yourself more comfortable. the drugs are only a sidebar cause the high is only described in the second stanza. the poem as a whole is more about how pain and suffering alter your perception of life. there's also A LOT of sarcasm and bitterness. i totally get being shot down by life/the universe/fate/God or whatever entity keeps tearing down what you worked so hard to build up.
Hey Jesse- how did I do?

So dream away the night with their eyes
okay, here is my take....wait...nevermind.
this was first written as two poems. though, seperately they just did not do it for me, thus, why neither of them were ever posted. it took awhile, but after reading each a few dozen times I decided to join them.
The two were both dealling with the same issues, but in two different ways. These past few years I have been dealing with a lot...no shame here...
I have been looking Upward for direction, and I believe I have found it but my lust for alcohol and my substance abuse addictions keep spinning me in circles.
"when She ( This world) speaks We cut Him ( Him ) off."
When He speaks
She cuts us off
And cuts us down
From the ground
He raises up our halo
Of thorn and rock ( again, lust and addiction )
And cuts into my throat as I scream
Pump fuck and my brain speaks tongues ( confusion )
Whispering in colors as the juice takes toll ( Doubt )
Killing all that’s left of me ( drowning my thoughts and way of seeing life )
Fucking with my
Divine ( Everything I thought
Karmic ( was chance
Upset ( was His Divine
Logic ( Intervention, though I was too blind to see that
Obscure dream of purgatories true form
I can dream it ( Faith in the Father )
Undertaking ( Doing His Will )
Seems to always drown my
Upward ( Once upon )
outlook ( a time belief )
Future ( that I could do it all myself )
Dreamweb ( do it all myself )
Take me deeper to the core ( The heart of it all ) ( Christ )
So dream away the night with their eyes
( the Holy Trinity, though it is not as clear as it could be, considering I have been saying he and she throughout the whole piece )
If this does not help you read it I will try to find an easier explanation, I hope
