Banana Pudding Bliss With Jim James and Levon Helm
Banana Pudding Bliss With Jim James and Levon Helm
Ryan Adams called Scot Coogan, who said that he was not interested in playing drums. Levon Helm called Bonnie “Prince” Billy and received the phonenumber for Scott Carney who gave Levon Helm the telegraph-address for M. Ward who contacted Conner Oberst via Ouija Board who informed Mr. Levon Helm that he could locate Jim James at the...
Moving Forward
My heart hurts and aches.
All I want to do is go back and make it right again.
But I can’t. So I’m just going to move forward.
There is no point on dwelling on the past.

heartburn
stouter than Rainbow Gathering coffee
jailhouse coffee
Ire works better than me
an at away from eaten
a hat above to be eaten
one wretched cup of coffee in the
mystic valley below
wet floor
crutches slide
a new May
a new living buck
save
do not slaughter
do not spend
Ire works
before Russel Crowe Edward Vedder
industrial
music not revolution
digital
not thirty-five...
did not dream
saw St. Augustine
not Jack Frost Dylan Thomas Zimmerman
body electric
two students
naked Texas A&M
Angela Evans
sought cyclops
evaded poacher and tiger
many hands shake
introduce smoke to facial hair
Peggy Sirota captures
Angela and the mentor
no petting zoo
no cages
clean and visible
Andrew Slemp
tardy to the jailfix
six inches of rain
fan blows posture
Drew Barrymore...

thewayoftheworld:
Strong winds
were never enough
to send you off course
you became
straight ahead
this bad idea
of nothing left to lose
packed bags
frayed strings
barely holding things
together.
You arranged flowers
for your shadow
never seen again
mourned by the desperate
last minute men
in dark smokey hours
who consoled you
I told you
so.
How can something so simple
so...
thewayoftheworld:
Outside my shuttered window
is a disappearing lake
under the spell of entropy,
slowly becoming marshland
then one day a grassy field
to be surveyed and staked.
At this brief moment in time
it appears to be owned
solely by a pair of nesting swans
who tolerate for a little while
the occasional migratory bird
heading toward or from
their own disappearing habitat.
It’s...
ryanada-ms:
The ink seems to fall abrupt and spill Oil into the sea like a Valdez newsprint just as toxic and harmful to breathe but they made you A different kind A pretty mouth and quirky tongue placed just on the edge as you stare and burn through heavy-duty Robot proof white and parched and I Would Lose myself Like a winded Doll Unwound And Maybe Just Cross Fingers Not eyes That you your...

Black Breeze
theblackmap:
This is for the cosmos, and how it spins web after web of chance, future, and timely cigarette cravings.
Black Breeze
You set me on fire then walk away Just dragging your smoke away from my face Telling me there’s no time or place Enjoying escape, the fall I can taste A glance at your smile fills the chambers up And why are there miles between us at all? The record you gave me...
francine:
the dark seems so much darker
when I first open my eyes,
a big night in such small room-
a sickness happening in a corner
my soul is involuntarily disturbed, roaring
behind my black hour eyes,
warehouses with broken lights
and wet brick
and I’m counting backwards
stepping over garbage and oily streams
toward blue death,
following carefully arranged maps
in braille
...
Security Blanket
fgps:
There comes a day
when pacifiers
have to be put away
can’t all be as Linus
dragging around a blankey
‘til he’s buried with it
in a cartoon cemetery
the initial absence
is quite the harrowing experience
floor scuffed from paces
hair pulled out, leaving bare patches
nails chewed
‘til blood ensues
mind holds target
beating the horse long decayed
and then when all need
for...
Daylight Kisses Everything
Aimee smiles
through this portal
this computer screen
in this present moment
laughing joyful laughs
the laughs of an
unabashed fangirl
writing poems to the
platform shoes of
David Ryan Adams
and she smiles through
e-mails filled with joyful
moments as she discusses
nursing
Werepom
Ryan Adams lyrics
family
and catharsis found through writing
and when I read of her
doldrums
I...
Arizona Rain (homesick)
izaluckycat:
desert cats
dance whenever it rains
my own eyes captured this view
of owls flight in celebration
and horned toads
on holiday
even the creosote is happy
and she releases her perfume
splendid gift
only her sappy leaves can bring
the pounding deluge
fills in dry cracks
rivers race
quenching thirsty washes
as the sky lights
in natural fireworks
and the crack
and the...
Friday the Thirteenth: Friday Morning Frights:...
Friday the Thirteenth: Friday Morning Frights: February: Not March
last or less than last maybe last
time I saw Mom in dream
flesh with muffled dream
voice she my blessed Mom
sat across from me in perhaps
an airport lobby and she spoke to
me of temperance of impulse
control distinction between want
and need how very little beyond
breath movement of blood water
some modicum of sustenance...
A Poem That Reminds Me Of Joaquin Phoenix
If The Brakeman Turns My Way
When panic grips your body and your heart is a hummingbird Raven thoughts blacken your mind until you’re breathing in reverse All your friends and sedatives mean well but make it worse Every reassurance just magnifies the doubt Better find yourself a place to level out Got a cricket for a conscience always looks the other way A cocaine soul starts seeming like...
francine:
hi all…hope everyone is well and in a good place…if not, I hope you will soon meet a road that will lead you there.
This moment, I am just looking for a reason to pull my head out of this 180 page work document i have to review and revise by the am…so this is my 15 minute tumble break as I read through your posts. You so amuse, inspire and often knock me out of complacency-which is a...

keeleychevrier:

like iam falling
for your summer
it’s warm and too enticing
pure love written on our pages
for all the world to read

despair and the moments passed
spacecowboy:
Dear God,
Can you help me? I wont ask for anything ever again. I know you think I’ve sold my soul, but I want to give it to my friend. I’m not sure than you get mail, but you didn’t return my call. Enclosed you’ll find my heart;
You see, I met this guy, and I made the biggest mistake, when he asked me not to leave just yet. I don’t have many regrets, but he was one I’d like to...
Franklin's Tower
Franklin’s Tower
In another time’s forgotten space Your eyes looked from your mother’s face Wildflower seed on the sand and stone May the four winds blow you safely home Roll away the dew Roll away the dew Roll away the dew Roll away the dew I’ll tell you where the four winds dwell In Franklin’s tower there hangs a bell It can ring, turn night to day It can ring like...

My life story in a compact way. its still...
hannahisdead:
I was a complete accident. My real father did not want me. My ‘father’ adopted me, after my parents married. My mother married him because he said he would help with me. He didn’t. My mother worked on the river for 28 years. She has worked harder then most of the people you know combined. I only saw her once a week for the first 14 years of my life. My father stole from us. Is a pill...
"Full-Tilt"
cardinalcave:
through a twist a broken spoke
what calms it down, this spin
is a quiet
is a voice
is a note
is a flurry
white white white sheets of static
and all plus for a room for one
now full tilt and for two so so
filled up
through a mast of a wooden ship
junk ship bent from a gale maybe
tale spun
spun out
drawn out
sails up
is a movement
like an orchestra tuning and

thelightofthemoon:
one lonely tear
broke through
just now
when i heard
about you
another angel
has flown away
where her light
will shine
to show us
the way
and her violin
how it will sing
as each new day
on earth
begins again

It amazes me a little how screwed up I was when I joined tumblr. Which thinking about it really wasn’t that long ago.. I just went back and wanted to look at some of my original posts (apparently I’ve done 153 pages of posts. ha woah)… I’ve been feeling recently that my posts have little in terms of consistency; I don’t mean how constant they...

cashville:
I can’t sleep. I’ve been fully awake now for 35 hours. I forced myself to stay awake today so I could fall asleep tonight and get back on track. But it backfired. Now I can’t fall asleep. I drank chamomile tea, 3 cups worth. No good.
I’m pretty sure it’s because of all the writing that I’ve been doing lately. I only really started writing last summer. Before that I just held...

Part One: Leaving Ben and Slams’ house
(After saying goodbye to the Allie, Ben and Slams three times)
Me: Hey, do you think we should just leave that bag full of stuff here for now?
Ned: Good idea! Let’s ask them. (Knocks wildly on their door)
Ben: Hey?
Ned: YOU HAVE SUCH AN AMAZING DOOR! (Stops, then stares at Ben in silence, clearly forgetting why he was knocking on the door in...
