My eyes are now open. By Aaron Ace Cook


so he said whats so illusive about dreams they linger like smoke through your entrails I said they are elusive you can't touch them they don't exist a joint shared nothing exploded he chewed mushrooms he laughed your smoke are coloured spirals through your entrails we became butterflies then little pinpricks of light we crashed and slept dreaming of illusive dreams and coloured entrails sunsets and sunrises became one like rainbows after rainsDrugs make me a zombie resistant to ache. Restricting the emotion that causes my pain. I sit here alone so I don't corrupt anothe soul. I drown my sorrows with agave to forget that I am an junky. Time to close That door for Good.Its very hard to see things when you’re blind Its even harder when you’re blind and blind drunk Add to that a heady mix of ecstasy and cocaine Constipation, haemorrhoid pain and ear ache And things can appear unusually strangely weird Once upon a house on fire: I saw a mist cloud of black cherry blamange It was engulfed by blackcurrant jelly smoke I could hear the crackle of peanut brittle The snap of pinkly green Blackpool rock I could hear the hiss of marshmallow gas As molten snickers vented liquid toffee Sherbert flames licked round a lollipop As Gummi bears screamed for ice scream Rather than jumping to the relative safety Of blankets held buy chocolate alligators No sign of the elephant in the room brigade I watched with horror and hilarity as the Sweetie shop apple crumbled and fell down As the candy stripe alarm clock went off Aaron open your Eyes. Heres your new Life.
