...High

Go on a ride with me.

I feel...

 

Distantly comfortable.  Allowing

the ripples of the cold grey water

carry me into a unknown of

imagination.  Slipping gently under

the cuddle, pleasantly demented,

giggling away the sins. Only to accept

the praise and admiration of 

 dreadful inspiration.

 

I feel...

 

  Forever lost. Cherishing

a world so dreary and dark. Seeing

through the eyes of a sinner

and feeling every ounce of pain

Unleashed mercilessly. Only to accept

the pleasure of suffering and

the orgasmic thrill of

the kill.

 

I feel...

 

Arrogantly mad.  Worshipping

the superciliously sacred line

of derangement.  Slithering

slowly off the tree of

pure insanity and addiction to

the rush of being a god.

Only to accept it's full

library of knowledge and

magnifyed cognition.

 

I feel...

And there in lies the impetus for the continuation of the behavior- the need to feel overrides any societal moralities. It seems the subject of the poem believes that this is his power but I believe that it is his desperation. The poem is compelling and very well done.

I caprice with you there, society is a huge word. It is indicative of an inner-emotional, draining awakening, a frivolous moment of mortality; the moment where we can feel loss, and must always adhere to our friend in a hug. :P

Most of us, I boldly assume, have little experience being in contact with an addictive substance yet, but the idea being presented, the feelings that the substance allows... Those we may have at one point, experienced it. It's quite a masterfully craft of a poem, demonstrating the heights of humanity's emotional extremas.

The collection of your works is nothing short of a library, author Matthew.

Wow, incredulous, I feel the highness of what some wish to ever even come close to;

Sometimes in this crazy, messed up life it can take us to extremes to feel anything, whether in fantasy or reality.
I mean, are we really as interconnected as the world would like to think, or is technology separating us even more and leaving some behind?
Not everyone is as comfortable to fit into a niche and play the game of "normal", whatever normal is meant to be.
Should we just pretend to fit in with others thoughts and risk becoming a dexter type, or do we live a life where saying what you mean is important, as well as uncomfortable to the Barbie and Kens of this world?
Answers on a postcard to the usual address if you ever figure that one out, but in the meantime, keep writing those awkward thoughts and fighting against the norm, whatever that is. 😊

I like how you portrayed the different levels of the high. Nice write.. almost tangible in the descriptions.

[Matthew Kult]

You are the first to identify individual scenes. Or levels. Thank you for taking the time. It is appreciated
