Poem -
Wheezer
Perforated pleura
From wrenching non stop
Torn and twisted thoracic muscles
The ballast tanks have popped
Walking like a wounded soldier
Clutching my side
A victim of a xenomorph
Something pupating inside
Thorn like trachea
Razor wire to doomed troops over top
Consecutive convulsions
The cure is out of reach, aloft
If only I'd listened and acted
When they'd told me to stop
Pulmonary embolism
An expensive blood clot
Too little too late
May as well keep hitting the pipe
No breaking free of this cycle
Try as I might
(Having Man flu is the influence behind this poem. I have never smoked crack cocaine. FICTION)

Man flu is quite serious, then? ;-)
Get well soon Syd... (if you are still poorly with it).

Hi Tina, not as serious as I make out lol. But it gave me something to write about at least. I'm on the mend now, thanks for asking.
I appreciate the feedback. Take care - Syd xo
Being sick really sucks Syd. Get better soon! Awesome ink my friend. It is heartening to see, that illness hasn't dampened your muse.
Hi Lisa, it certainly does. Thank you, I'll use anything for inspiration.
Thanks for stopping by my page.
Take care - Syd xo
Dear Syd,
Sometimes life is not all it's "cracked" up to be
Those euphorias leave such scars
One final toke, before I leave
And float up to the stars
Peace and love, my friend,

A wise choice of words Larry. Well written.
Peace and love also - Syd xxx
