This includes alcohol, tobacco and recreational drugs like cocaine, cannabis, meth, and heroin. It also covers poetry about medical prescription drugs like Valium, Ritalin, Prozac and other anti-depressants. In fact, poems written about any mind altering chemical can be found here. The "drugs poems" category contains writing by recreational drug and alcohol users, and people who have had significant experiences with drugs through medical treatment. It also includes poems written by those who have observed drug use first hand, from being around users or addicts. There will be poems here presenting opinions both for and against drug use, they are the views of individual poets and not the Deep Underground Poetry website.

CRACK'S CODE BLUE
Crack kills and that’s no joke!
It once killed my pocket broke
As my luggage wheel struck the sidewalk crack
And my worn-out heel cracked outback!
I wibbled-wobbled on a cracked low-pump heel
As a zoo waddling seal!
I took a tumble to the ground
Onto the soiled and grassy ground
And, as I fell, I cracked my nail
The pain flushed me pail!
Cracks – cracks – all these cracks
On roadsides, sidewalks, and bicycle tracks
And, can I have you believe, I heard a crack
On a duck’s resounding “Quack! Quack! Quack”
When I sat by...
It once killed my pocket broke
As my luggage wheel struck the sidewalk crack
And my worn-out heel cracked outback!
I wibbled-wobbled on a cracked low-pump heel
As a zoo waddling seal!
I took a tumble to the ground
Onto the soiled and grassy ground
And, as I fell, I cracked my nail
The pain flushed me pail!
Cracks – cracks – all these cracks
On roadsides, sidewalks, and bicycle tracks
And, can I have you believe, I heard a crack

smoking with your ghost
I don't have a date and time
to pin your memory to
so I'll make one up
a different day every year
I'll have a joint for you
pretend the tears
are just smoke in my eyes
and not the rebreaking
of vital organs
that beat an erratic goodbye
whenever I think of you
I'm all out of safe places
and as much as these
visions of you hurt
I cling to the memory
of your transient safety
For just a moment
we were suspended
out of space
out of time
two wayward souls ...
to pin your memory to
so I'll make one up
a different day every year
I'll have a joint for you
pretend the tears
are just smoke in my eyes
and not the rebreaking
of vital organs
that beat an erratic goodbye
whenever I think of you
I'm all out of safe places
and as much as these
visions of you hurt
I cling to the memory
of your transient safety
For just a moment
we were suspended
out of space
out of time
two wayward souls ...

Drawing Clouds
A magic soul ascends, its flame untamed,
among the clouds that shift in heaven's gaze.
A phantom orchestra of whispers framed
where time dissolves in mystic swirling haze.
Each gaze unearths a tale, a tender thread,
from dragon scales to castles steeped in lore.
A fleeting kiss—a wish that’s softly said—
goodbye to dreams that anchor hearts no more.
A storm begins and streaks of silver bleed.
Revealing skies of tempest, cruel and vast.
Yet, still I trace the skies’ eternal creed.
The soul, now etched...
among the clouds that shift in heaven's gaze.
A phantom orchestra of whispers framed
where time dissolves in mystic swirling haze.
Each gaze unearths a tale, a tender thread,
from dragon scales to castles steeped in lore.
A fleeting kiss—a wish that’s softly said—
goodbye to dreams that anchor hearts no more.
A storm begins and streaks of silver bleed.
Revealing skies of tempest, cruel and vast.
Yet, still I trace the skies’ eternal creed.
The soul, now etched...

Natural Bridges - Scene 1
Gravel crunch, crunch, crunches
beneath your sandals
walking the ice plant framed path
that leads to the shore
feel the cool sea breeze l
caress your cheeks,
tousle your hair
descending the stairway
to the beige sanded beach
bifurcated by a flowing stream
fed by seawater at high tide
survey the dark green ocean waves
rolling in to meet the land
and marvel at the natural
rock Arc de Triomphe
rising majestically just off shore
seeming to support a bridge
to some mystical kingdom in the azure blue sky
beneath your sandals
walking the ice plant framed path
that leads to the shore
feel the cool sea breeze l
caress your cheeks,
tousle your hair
descending the stairway
to the beige sanded beach
bifurcated by a flowing stream
fed by seawater at high tide
survey the dark green ocean waves
rolling in to meet the land
and marvel at the natural
rock Arc de Triomphe
rising majestically just off shore
seeming to support a bridge
to some mystical kingdom in the azure blue sky

There are drugs and there are drugs
Hey so I realized that I never wrote a drug poem. I wanted to hit every one of the themes this year. So this is not a poem but here is something.
A while back me and some friends decided that we are going to have a house party and have a good time.
Everyone was designated to bring something. I brought a couple of bottles of liquor and some chips. ( no I did not do any dip. I was not designated to bring that.)
We had everything. Food, drinks, music, and whatnot.
Let me explain what Whatnot is before weed was legal. We had that. ...

Craved by death and the grave but not today
Hooray although scathed I played and got away
Time flies good bye bye
Hurry up and seize the day today
BE THAT AS IT MAY they say
Come on let come what may my way
So little time remains yet
There's so much still left to say
Mayday Mayday
Mqybe everything will be okay someday
Displaced today from this dretched dismay
How everything was kept then swept away
Disgraced this way in a rant I rave

Tripping Balls
There's a man standing on a bench in a public park
He's pointing at people and laughing and screaming shit at them
The people walk by and don't pay any attention to him
They figure he's just some crazy motherfucker and they should keep the fuck away from him
The man pulls his hat off and starts ripping out large hunks of his hair and eating it
As he screams, hunks of hair mixed with spit fall out of his mouth and stick to his face
He pulls a knife out of his pocket and saws off one of his ears
He eats the ear

temptation’s kiss
you press against my eager lips
bold and demandin
the way forbidden things always are
your burn flowin over my tongue
liquid smoke and honey
claimin me from the inside
taste of oak and sin
as you slide down my throat
markin me with your heat
my body respondin to your touch
a familiar ache spreadin thru me
as your warmth becomes mine
stumblin into your embrace
addicted to this blissful surrender
secret lover creatin and erasin pain
patient in your seduction
knowin I’ll always...

Windowpane
Screaming out loud
pounding my chest
primal in the mid of night.
By the sacred fire
deep in the woods
dancing flames, rising ember's
carrying spirits to the stars.
Colors splash in my head
visions fill my mind
inside and out,
the wind talks to me
"just listen" she says.
The trees they dance with me
swaying in the breeze,
everything blends
my spirits and the wind...
pounding my chest
primal in the mid of night.
By the sacred fire
deep in the woods
dancing flames, rising ember's
carrying spirits to the stars.
Colors splash in my head
visions fill my mind
inside and out,
the wind talks to me
"just listen" she says.
The trees they dance with me
swaying in the breeze,
everything blends
my spirits and the wind...

Just Saw My Friend's Obituary
I looked in the one
section of the paper
and saw something
that really was so
downright horrible.
Poor Molly is dead
due to an overdose
of cocaine just days
after her centerfold
appeared in the one
issue of Hustler.

Pathetic!!
Rats chewed the hands, lips and nose off a four month old baby in a fleabag apartment building across the street from me. The mother was on PCP. She had her head in the oven trying to kill herself. I asked her if she needed assistance. She said no. I helped her anyway.
People are so pathetic!!
