  4. best of intentions

    best of intentions

    so tell me…how do you share the comfort..?   ‘best of intentions’   repeated, her legitimate question: “how do you console the black streams of memory? how do you distinguish miles from a  slowly shimmering mirage?”   suffice to say the bright of my eyes faded and i softly cleared my throat “glory and illusion are inseparable,” i told her, “still i’m not one to gloat. you see, the fearless man perishes for every right he’s ever done recognized faith turns suicide all convenience stripped of hope.”   her mouth churned a funeral oration and from that moment i knew she’d bury me with the best of intentions.  * #barflypoet #josephapinto © Joseph A.

    served what was not requested

    shameless book promotion time! the spotlight shines on my 2nd poetry collection ‘scotch & scars !’   i released ‘scotch & scars’ in 2020, two years after ‘a distilled spirit.’ while the collection still featured ‘bar observations,’ it did begin to reveal more of my darker thoughts and emotions. good, raw poetry should be unflinching and that’s where ‘scotch & scars’ delivers. also, it helped that every single one of the poems contained within was written with (many) a scotch.   ‘scotch & scars’ is available on amazon. if you enjoy it, please indulge me the favor of a review. today’s selection is:  ‘served what was not requested’   the color gradient is off perhaps it just plays that way to the untamed eye yet a drinker of scotch can catch the kool-aid straight off   don’t think i don’t know when things have been sweetened;   you’re talking to a man who lives for the bite.  * #barflypoet #josephapinto © Joseph A.
