[bodytext] => Left to stand here mute
The muteness leads to silence
The silence begets problems
And these problems have no answers
They spawn only the monsters
With bloodied teeth that tear
And gore-dripping fangs that fear
Trembling as your hands flee
The tempest grows within the shadows
Lifting the precious bottle
That holds the golden fluid
Which provides your limited sanity
The blood trickles down your chest
Screaming as your face caves in
Beneath the weight of your shattered dreams
Trembling as the tears fall
Left to stand in second place
Begging not to feel
That which tears me to shreds
My hands are not sufficient
To hold the tears that fall
Nothing can staunch the pain
That blossoms deep inside
Trembling as your sanity dies
My blurred eyes cannot focus
Amidst the bottles that only steal
Corrosion stabs - so deep
And this emptiness consumes all
Living a worthless endeavour as
The blackness envelopes competely
Smiling as death steals

First off, the 3rd stanza was the one I liked the best. I guess I relate to
it the most. Mind you the 2nd half of the 2nd one is really good too. I hope
writing this gave you a look into what emptiness there is in drinking problems
away... it sure didn't work for me the times I tried it. Okay, I'm digressing,
apologies... this is good once again Joel... you rock.

I know this... God how I know this. I am dealing with it right now. Drinking every night just so you don't have to deal with the promlems "And these problems have no answers". It is a never ending battle. You postpone the inevitable of facing the pain and in turn create new demons to battle. This was a powerful write Joel. I liked how it turned out too.

Joel, another wonderfully written piece; you do have a way with your poetry that really does capture everyone undivided attention.
You make me feel the pain of this poem and it’s powerful. Great job as always.

"The tempest grows within the shadows
Lifting the precious bottle
That holds the golden fluid
Which provides your limited sanity"
....I love these four lines...the whole poem is awesome but these are very serious. I understand where ur coming from...as we have all turned to alcohol to solve problems. Keep it up!
