Venomous potions

Venomous potions

A Poem by Rob Santana
"

Under the influence

"

I can feel this dark potion

Slithering through my system

Burning my innards,

My mind opens

To dark thoughts of violence and lust

I'm Tempted to take a hit of angel dust,

More of the venomous potion enters my body

Thrusting my mind into a black hole

Illusions of fearlessness falsely empowering me

I'm feeling colossus, nephilim like

Demons slowly creeping up on me

Waiting for the right moment to plunge into my soul

I've opened myself up to possession....self destruction

My demons breed......

Deep rooted fears come to mind. I thought it was artful.

Thank you Elvis.
wow, really caught the vulnerablity and depression behind being drunk. reminds me of the nights when you drink alone to try to escape and it just pulls you down and makes it worse. i love your work, but this one might be standing on top, its much deeper than the violent metal inspired stuff im used to seeing from you. just damn man, damn.

I'm familiar with those solo nights of drinking, haha so true!!! Thank you Jack.
Honestly, I've never been drunk before, but you bring out the dark insecurity of it all. The images are splendidly chilling.

Honesty I can't say I know the feeling of being under the influence, as I’ve never been drunk. I do enjoy a glass of whisky and my pornstars(

I've studied up on some of this...opiums..liquor...they are gateways for demon posession...but only if we abuse it. Everything can become a poison if not used in moderation.

possibly...yes.
Although I am allergic to alcohol when I was younger I use to explore the world of Peppermint Schnapps. I sat down to literally guzzle half a bottle. >.> That was a huge mistake, but anyways it did feel like a hot poison coursing through me. And about half an hour later I noticed my body going numb. I couldn't think while playing a game of Resident Evil. My reaction time was slowed down considerably. And then I had no control over my steps and had to crawl. It felt like my body was self-destructing or possessed. But anyways I am babbling. Your poem made me think of that time though. Clearly there is much more here to consider though and I can relate in a deeper way.
