Image for the poem intoxicated

intoxicated

Intoxicated by the sting and the crack
Of the whip-smart
Dreamy cloudy skies -
Streets littered with poetry.
 
The rain washes down on me and I
Am in living color,
Take a sip and I scream like in horror but it's not,
 
Breathing in -
Make me forget -
 
Everything,
My name
My scars and my storms
And the music's saying more
More, more.
Tell me again,
Everything.
 
Nails leave crescents on my chest,
My back, my waist, and the night sky -
Catch the stars under,
Fingertips and I sparkle with the touch
And a big bang, bang -
Clutch the sheets and pull down the midnight
And then
We'll tiptoe the dawn -
This oh ungodly hour.
 
I fall and I fall
Further
Into you.
 
Drink some more
And end up glassy-eyed, starry-eyed -
Leave marks to remind
The intoxication  
In the sensation
 
Of the colliding
 
Of you

And I.

The idea first came from a comment from jenjames saying that my poem was "intoxicating." Thank you! And then the music helped it along, together with the altogether mood of life. It is what it is.
