Drugs Poems
POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poetry about drug use and addiction (alcohol, medication and recreational drugs)
On this lonesome highway
Bridges engulfed
no going back
Bridges engulfed
warm safety blanket
There once was a silver spoon
that soon became a blackened mess
The dish stood aghast
lost within the crack den
On the needle crucified
chasing the face of God
Sound those drums the marching powders arrived
Caved in the septum spelunkers
A hand full of darts smoldering still
coffin nails for that nicotine fix
Liver pickled
Getting that Amphetamine feel
Mainlining time like she's gone out of fashion
When all that's done...

Acceptance Unwelcome
Unlike others
inherently wrong
adorning facades
obsession strong
Drinking early on
eleven years of age
when it began
building a cage
Locking myself in
becoming protection
excruciating discomfort
craving isolation
Acutely intoxicated
always the goal
caring for nothing
lacking spirit and soul
Choosing to numb
malformed emotions
loss of affect
impossible solutions
Alcoholic by nature
often self-denied
acceptance unwelcome
had I...

Train tracks
Damn, here we go again...
I know this all too well.
I don't want to do this.
I can't watch you destroy yourself again.
I'm trapped in this bitter hell,
This unforgiving prison.
With no hope of being set free.
These are your choices,
But we both pay the consequences.
This cross is to much to bare.
Paralyzed with anxiety,
Heartbroken and shattered,
Greif strickened,
Drowning with fear,
Mourning you,
As you wither away.
There nothing I can do to save you,
All I can do is watch as you play on the train...

Poison Back
It cuts through my flesh
Leaves my heart to bleed
Oxygen and poison mesh
My vision cannot see
I'm weathered and scorned
By the bright red sun
Saturated and so burned
Doubled twice form as one
But half of me
Has journeyed in time
And this side of reality
Doesn't seem as fine
Crystalized I feel numb
As I float through the air
My mind still deaf and dumb
My heart no feelings to share
My journey has begun
But my will still fights
From life my body runs
Ruined under blackened lights
Jolts try to...

She
She was a junkie
she told her friends that she was going to get out of this apt that her boyfriend owns
she says there's bad vibes there
she said that he keeps me hooked on smack
she wanted change
she wanted to pull away from him, seek help and move forward
she wanted to escape the city & get away from people, places & things
she decided to hang with her girlfriends one night
she was at her best friends place
she got the urge to get high
she most certainly did, a half hour later,
she was found dead on the floor in her girlfriends...

Relapse Offers No Remission
Entirely possible
another drink left in me
claims the desperate alcoholic
crashing resolutely to her knees
praying to her God for help
because this time she believes
as sure as day becomes night
and the moon controls tides of the seas
in her vision of future relapse
there is not meant to be
any convalescence or another recovery

The Serpents Kiss
You are still in my mind
Erasing memories I cannot find
I breathe deep into the night
Wild visions unleash my sight
I'm bit I've been struck
The serpents kiss down on my luck
I cannot believe the way I feel
This poisoned venom is for real
As you try to slither away
You consume me another day
Something beautiful and so cruel
From my head the thoughts you pull
My life has been stolen from me
I'm addicted to this hells eternity
From my eyes my tears flood
Flicking tongue sucked my blood
Corruption of...

Alice Has Been Arrested By The Cops
Mom
and Dad
got a call
from Margaret
that Alice has been
arrested by the cops
for narcotics possession
which was the result of the poor
kitten popping those White Rabbit pills
that Cat brought to the Wonderland strip club.

Brighter
Saw you in a dream last night
House full of strangers
Flickering bulbs devoid of light
Something seemed off
You lazily smiled
Blank eyes told me the cause
Concern meshed with my wasted mind
I woke thinking I'd see you soon
But your future was reassigned
Death came calling without warning
Years of friendship
Replaced with a lifetime of mourning
It was good to see you while I slept
Seems you were sending me a reminder
Ten years since your last breath
A reminder...
To live in a...

My shots
I wrote one poetry today
I already had my shot.
I already had my shot.

the cook and his sister
the cook and his sister
once I was a poet blinded by the shiny pebbles, by the shore
of purity and heart delight, but it was not to be
although it was said about me in India, this man is really innocent
My sister stood crying at the railway station in Montreal
so, what are the tears for Are you not alive
you silly girl; I have been dead for 44 years
and you think you have forgotten
can forget about real life, anyway
I have never been
in Montreal, especially now that I'm dead
you should see the main street in Montreal
it is...
