Blacked Out
Do you black out
the fireworks that lie behind
bluely hooded eyes
knowing our four
deeply through the door
do you blackout
the savages
and sqare teared spies
under the covers
I had violent thoughts
and that is beneath me
do you black out
the lands
of violet culture...

any way going to work this "Blacked out" poem on this thread,
I am reminding this to myself
Hey share your Blackout inspired poems in this thread...
Sobriety fucks with my creativity, and... But I feel better.
the rats were trying to count the sheep and I was off the drink,
there were footsteps in the parlour and voices on the stairs
I was climbing up the wall and moving round the chairs
I looked out from under the blanket and up at the fireplace
The Pope and J.F. Kennedy were staring in me face,
Suddenly it dawned on me I was gettin' the old DT's
when the Child o' Prague began to dance
around the mantelpiece.
(Chorus)
Goodbye to the Port and Brandy,
to the Vodka and the Stag,
to the Schmiddick and the Harpic,
the bottle draught and keg.
As I sat lookin' up at the Guinness ad
I could never figure out
how your man stayed up on the surfboard
after 14 pints of stout.
Well I swore upon the bible
I'd never touch a drop
My heart was palpitatin'
I was sure 'twas going to stop,
thinkin' I was dyin'
I gave my soul to God to keep
A tenner to St. Anthony
to help me get to sleep.
I fell into an awful nightmare
and got a dreadful shock
When I dreamt there was no duty free
at the airport down in Knock,
Ian Paisley was sayin' the rosary
and Nora Bennis was on the pill,
Finbar Wright was gargled
and singin' Spancil Hill.
I dreamt that Mr Haughey
had recaptured Crossmaglen
then Garret got reelected
and gave it back again.
Dick Spring and Roger Casement
were on board the Marita Ann
as she sailed into Fenit
they were singin' Banna Strand,
I dreamt Archbishop McNamara
was on Spike Island for 3 nights
havin' been arrested
for supportin' travellers rights,
I dreamt that Ruari Quinn was smokin'
marijuana in the Dail
and Barry Desmond handin' Frenchies out
to the scuts in Fianna Fail.
I dreamt of Nell McCafferty and Mary Kenny too
the things that we got up to, but I'm not tellin' you,
I dreamt I was in a jacussi along with Alice Glenn
'twas them I knew I'd never ever ever drink again.
(Chorus)
In the Daytime
Do you black out
the fireworks that lie behind
bluely hooded eyes
knowing our four defiant
deeply through the door
do you black out
the savages and square teared spies
under the covers
I had violent thoughts
that is beneath me
a country's crumbling floor
blacked out
a lands in violet culture
the nightmares repeated
to the fall away
mine, tormented
a metaphor this way
Do you black out
the salvages
we are working
this pen knife stranger
held to my throat
Do you black out
in the daytime, in traffic...
