PANACEA

You are my NARCOTIC.
Intense illicit attachment, objective intravenous abuse
You are my HEROIN.
Transcending blood-brain barriers, endorphins and euphoria
Intimate technicolor sex, addiction then fear
You are my COCAINE.
Heart pounding, pulse increasing, pleasure amplified
Restlessness, depression, paranoia – a twitch.
You are my METH.
Cascading release of stimulant excitement and obsession
Withdrawal, fragile, the highest of highs and the lowest of lows
You are my LSD.
Psychedelic drug, self-administered meditation, delirium
The greatest and most terrifying trip of all
You are my ECSTASY.
Pure clarity, music and movement
Elevation, kaleidoscopic essence of the enlightened
You are my OPIUM.
Heavy impact.
Climax, sensations resonate, floating
You are my CANNABIS.
Spiritual understanding and unity and emotion
Idiosyncratic intoxication, visions with voices
You are my PCP.
Angel dust, wack… hallucinations
Delusional ideas, moods beyond prediction, impervious and detached
You are my LOVE.
Temptation, numbness, obsession, dependency, fixation – lists of words that no longer hold
meaning. ^
