Meth-od-ical

The hints of a razor gleam
creeping up from behind
shivers begin to scream
a thought undefined.

Crystalline destruction manifests
in shards of failed dreams
circulation and cells cease
I am dumber today.

Clogging and fogging the mind
promises cheat their way into lies
when depression becomes a way of life
serenity is found at the end of the line.

Escaping the cavity
in trails of shame
in vigour and madness
incapable of sadness.

Black hole eyes
cannot see the coming despair
the next morning impairs
certainty is a lie.

Senses start to fail
iron will turns frail
the devil’s sugar and salt
must never be taken so lightly.

Subtle and methodical
killing what makes you, you
another round for old time’s sake,
and you’re stuck to it like glue.

[Center]Iconoclast


Paradox
Outside the box
of pandora.......


An insurgent activity
Inundate
My whole thoughts
within your holy
.......waters......

Homily
Sometimes esoteric
Up above the
mind
game transfers
making
epitome visible naked
Bert
has his euphemism
-----for dying------

It is a platitudinous speech.

Ketamine Dream


“Beep, blip”

The monitors hum their soft tune.
It is white,
Sterile, here.

“Beep, blip”

Lazy,
Dazy—
My fingertips graze the hair-cap,
Then fall with a thud;
I can’t…..
Too heavy to lift my arms.

“She’s almost ready for the Haldol”

Voices, murmuring, slurred,
But not really—
Only to me.

“Beep, blip”

Another dose of Ketamine,
To relax—
The male nurse turns, holding his syringe,
Looking much like Sir Lawrence Olivier
In “The Marathon Man”,
Nazi Szell….just briefly, through the drugged haze.

“Beep, blip”

I expect him to ask me
“Is it safe?”
But he only injects the pre-anesthesia,
Making way for the good stuff,
In a minute….
I think it’s safe….isn’t it?

“Beep, blip”

The room spins,
And I fall backwards
But I’m already laying on the gurney,
Naked beneath the johnny-gown.

“Beep, blip”

The colors—
Oh my!
The colors….
They’re so bright and defined,
Blended…..collapsing
And the world goes away
So that I don’t feel the cut
Of another surgeon’s blade.

“Beep, blip”

White Powder Seduction
LyricalDiva718

I love you and I hate you
Euphoria messing with my head
I'll sell my soul to taste you
No matter the cost
No matter the time
Hallucinations
Caught in devilish translations
Flatlined so many times I should be dead

See that buzz got me high
Aiming to the skies
Believing I could fly
That Rkelly shit
I'm so dumb with it
But I can't quit
I can't quit
I can't quit

That white powder man
Starting to believe when I'm alone
She's my friend
Hit after hit
So depressed
Sometimes I can't even get out of bed
I wanna get away from this world
Sometimes it's so cold
And I feel so cold
My life a revolving door
No escaping
No escaping this world
This life I made it so abominable
At times I regret it

Drifting in and out
In and out of my reality
But is it accurate
Shit I don't even feel real
I feel like I'm living on borrowed time
Can't shake it
Can't quit it
White powder magic
Messing with my mentality
Shit I must be crazy
But I can't be
I can't fucking be
Messed up
Messed with white powder
Trapped like a deer in headlights
Trying to get out
Trying to get away
But it's no use it's no use

            Rolled up dollar bill,
chopping rails til the morning light,
           The pain I plan to kill,
                    It's Tragic,
             But it's oh so true,
                  Like magic,
       I don't know what to do,
            I stay in my tomb,
                My Covent,
          I want to quite but,
                 I LOVE IT,
            It's in my brain,
         but it kills the pain,
  come sun shine or dark rain,
            Bloody nose,
        leaves blood stain,
             Overdose,
       From this cocaine
       These track marks,
       leaves blood clots,
         My eyes are so,
           Bloodshot,
     My skin feels like,
         It's crawling,
   My heart keeps on,
             Stalling,
     My visions gone,
          I'm falling,
   Can't breathe and,
            Crying,
   Laying in my bed,
             Dying,

ADDICTION
*(Hitler invented a form of meth in WWII so his soldiers would stay awake and fight longer.)

Unborn
Unheard
Unwelcome
He comes,
in an earthquake of splendor;
"Evil Thief of Forever".

Controller of direction
for all of the woes-
an individual can imagine.
He patiently slows.

In a mask-
In a castle-
Guiding light-
He persuades:
- the naive to follow
- and the old to obey.

Whichever outfit imagined,
as a prince or as a moon;
he can do it to destroy me
if I allow Him to.


* A man - made device  
first invented from greed,
was used to enhance a soldiers ability.

From evil it was created.  
And for evil it does serve,
dressed in fancy introductions
towards a future undeserved.

Average minds cannot contend
against the grips of true addiction.
The need becomes priority-
then comes the limitation.

We can bathe Him in desperation.
Never mind, just take a pill.
We can feed our aggravation
yet, be aggravated still.

Our drug can be a magnificent dream,
falsely distracting the emotions we need,
wrongly attracting our hearts to decay,
eventually throwing our whole life away.

The feeling of relaxation
and uncaring elation

Freak out or chill out
either, or; that is what drugs are about

Finally, free at last
Isn't life a gas

From uninhibited to loose
Acting silly as a goose

With nothing to do
and no one to answer to

Oh what I wouldn't give
to pick up a joint and live

Or lay on a floor, arm outstretched
waiting for the buss from powder's best

Trippin' over what is not real
Though you swear it was all you could feel

Sitting in a circle, happy and fat
Passing joints, was where it was at

Pink Floyd, Arrowsmith, and the Rolling Stones
No one could touch me, when I was with the old jones

I'm new and late for this comp, but here is my Drug poem, cheers from Australia.

"Crocodile Day Tripping"

There's proof that a Russian flesh-eating cannibal is in the good old U.S of A
He would offer toxic ingredients including gasoline and lighter fluid, I'd say
Be in no doubt, because its telltale scaly sores are similar to another leacher
They initially played down concerns, saying they're not seeing signs of the creature
My boyfriend actually had maggots coming out of his leg, after a foreign scare
I know people don't want to hear stuff like that, but it is really happening out there

Snap goes the toothless crocodile, one, two, three
Gangsta Wangsta had a great haul
Ring a ring a postie and they deliver the first for free
Jim and Joan went into da hood to fetch nothin' at all

They fall to the charlatans call of promising you a ball
A little at first and then some more, that's for sure
It will make you go snap, give you curls and make you twirl
Star gazing thru the sun ray and day tripping into a wayward night
That's why if you use crocodile juice it will do more than shake you loose
Tear at your skin, create holes and build mountains outta moles

Snap goes the toothless crocodile, one, two, three
Gangsta Wangsta had a great haul
Ring a ring a postie and they deliver the first for free
Jim and Joan went into da hood to fetch nothin' at all

Mr Jeffrey Vint has become less popular among his abusers
I say they're all losers, but I guess beggars can't be choosers
Mums gave birth with two thumbs, but those babies are now total scum
Others would think the monster could be at large, maybe roaming your hood
Put a stop to this croc's chomp, before it destroys everything in the swamp
Get your doctor to prescribe a stronger drug, to conquer that evil impostor

Snap goes the toothless crocodile, one, two, three
Gangsta Wangsta had a great haul
Ring a ring a postie and they deliver the first for free
Jim and Joan went into da hood to fetch nothin' at all
