Absolutely beautiful.
Took me on a magic carpet ride. ;]

Thank you so much Jessica for your lovely comment :D

Thoroughly enjoyable, Indie. It is surprising how many of what are regarded as the greatest literary pieces, have been written by people, either under the influence or from previous usage, of naturally produced stimulants.

Hey Waggy, I think you got me and Kitty confused, lol. Thanks as always for you comments, they're always interesting. Opium is indeed an interesting drug, though I've been lucky enough to be seduced by its derivatives.

This poem has a great deal of adjectives, and so feels like a big chocolate confection, which I guess is fitting given the subject matter. It risks seeming overwritten, but I think it just about stays on track, especially as this is a poem about getting high. Gaudiness I assume is a big part of drug trips. Some of the images are impossibly evocative, like that excellent first line. Critique is JMHO. Thanks for the read.

Thanks for your feedback Jack. Yes, this poem was meant to be a little gaudy. I wrote this one relatively quickly (it's was almost stream of consciousness) and I wanted it to be pretty on the outside (capturing that brief moment) while holding some depth and not being so over the top. I was hoping it conveyed some kind of balance, though I didn't spend that much time on refining it to faultlessness. Thanks again, as always, for your comments.

Peace, Indie

Excellent vocabulary, lots of floral imagery - 'petals', 'tendrils'. I particularly like 'dance languidly through my veins' and 'pale satin moon'. Exquisitely written

Thanks so much for you lovely feedback sb9889 xD
