spiritual base & another poem & notes

Written with love & care by Drew Henry

spiritual base

she looks up at me, devilish yet eagerly angelic

kinds of girls who i’d ride & die with

cute in their own way, intrigue never fades

from the first date to the 69th to the 101st

no girl is mine, but i may be some girl’s

i’m a real bitch when it comes to some

in my bag about a few… some sad boy blues

die so casually… love & drugs along with her eyes

staring into my soul to harness my vulnerabilities

into the void, out the void, into & out, into & out

void within my ribcage only a few could cure

moments pass, cigarette ash, could it last?

a little ways to go before it’s over

business to take care of, then it starts up again

playful fights about the little shit

jus to fuck & take care of our head

clears shit up… not drowning, jus swimming

tossed about the sheets close to her heart

lust & love simultaneously

guess i’ll sip a bit of liquor, a little night cap

music floods into the bedroom

she’s playing some Frank Ocean

wax & wane of the moon until dawn

sun peaks in through the shades

comforting orange glow of early sunrise

the initial onset of light pouring in

coffee brews up with our eyes half asleep

the only real way to wake up from this slumber

she sips at her coffee

then throws on a Daniel Caesar vinyl

days blend together

bed’s been slept in

& i keep making my way to the corner store

for coffee, tea, cigarettes, beer & vodka

still got so many books to finish half read

and shows to binge half watched

she’s reading Sylvia Plath & Leonard Cohen

i read some Dylan Thomas & Mary Oliver

i reread Bukowski over & over… never gets old

10th Anniversary Milk & Honey on the coffee table

we flip on Shameless, The Bear, Animal Kingdom, Bojack, etc. & rewatch a million other shows

between art, vice & girls i’ll be set for a million years & counting. shit keeps me entertained

even with jus $20 a day in my pocket

i’ll make it work

she comes home from work looking like a dime

the homie’s flipping it for dimes

& i’m doing jus fine

things around here jus fine

they all pull up & we roll in peace

Kodak bumping at the after party

we’re all jus waiting to come up & get off

she gets off work & comes up to the crib

i come up off whatever

and in time we all get off

another day fades away to a howling moon

dawn’s sun kissed morning to wake us up

days all a blur

the coffee, tea, cigarettes, beer & vodka

the books half read & shows half binged

music flooding into the room off a speaker

about one nice thought for every dirty one

chilling in my head, in my head, in my head

into & out the void, within & without

the princess saves the boy in this one

a million times. so dead, so alive…

everyday, living for the pain & pleasure of it all

dwelling in comfortable space — blessed universe

all this art, all these vices, all these girls

how could one ever be bored in the modern age?

if anything, we’re all jus a little tired, half asleep

realign with the universes’s core energy

work shit out, go on a walk or run, lift some weights then meditate with some yoga & decompress, sleep well & find peace in it all

there’s a time & place for everything

under the same moon, under the same sun

we jus can’t get too stuck in our ways

unless it’s not broke, then don’t fix it

all this art, all these vices, all these girls


under her spell

spell cast

overcast

mischievous glance

cross at the altar

your poetry skirts out of bullshit’s way

cute bird, trembling wind

a million books i’ll never read

i was never much of a reader

jus a nobody amidst citizens

cigarettes lit under a blanket of stars

impossible to cozy up mid-Summer

you had a soothing way about you

hard to miss

guess it’s easy to miss you

all my work is acceptable trash

enough jus to see ink on paper

at some point, we all return from where we came

high in the backwoods

guess it’d be nice to pass away


notes/ June 5th

…some notes from a Friday in June.

nothing to do, jus so much to meditate on

tragic how cute she is

coffee… need coffee & good head

Bible on my dashboard, cigs in the cup holder

i made it out the mud thanks to God most high

i roll up when the vibes lit

jus a known nobody

top notch hoes deserve the most

i don’t write poetry, it jus spills over onto the page

culture connoisseur

everything & yet nothing at all

broken back, arrow in the heart

slumped peak, peaked slumps

stitched up heart, slit wrist, flits of movement

some people die jus to be seen

everyone jus wants another to notice

gas pack for $7

do i really need to write anymore?

book on the drawer

cotton thread

woven fabric

soft touch

music blazes the crisp edge

glazed daze in a haze

shit’s not jus a phase

bumming a smoke

bumming about her or whoever

love language via music

coffee on the counter

something new to busy with

idle hands occupied

spring bloom & whatever

do i really need to write anymore?
