The Drug

I wrote this inspired by the memoir called Go Ask Alice. Even though drugs are bad, she inspired me to write about what good it did to her. :)

I feel so high in the clouds
everyone around me laughing around,
but I'm in another world
and is incredible,
it feels three-dimensional.
I inhale it, I taste it, is inside me all,
the ecstasy is making my mind numb
and yet, my imagination strong
and I can't stop.
The feeling it gives me
is a dangerous joy,
a catastrophe inside my body
that feels so marvelous.
Is dazzling inside my veins,
raising the rush in my blood,
is electrifying my heart
and I hear echoes in my voice,
screaming that I feel on top of the world,
then all of the sudden, the feeling is gone
and I go back to my
ordinary average world.

Drugs are what people who are not poets resort to to try and feel those ... those ... those moments of ecstasy when a poem reveals itself to be. Alas there can only be one poet every few decades or so. Was it Dylan or was it Hendrix? All the rest of humanity are left with ... the O.A.W. There is no point to such existances. Yet those who are poets ... die too early. Which means it was Hendrix.

I like the fact that it was all together, flowing like an absolutely unending dream. Then all of a sudden. She comes back to the world. I like how you described the high. Like there is nothing bad about it, and that you can never get hurt, and its all...... wonderful. When in reality you are probably in harms way much more often.

The problem with drug (Including beer and liquor) they make us feel better till we must come down and face life. That is the temptation. I like the feel and the story in the poem. Ending is true. We must come back to real life. A excellent poem.
