Love Like Cocaine

Slice me with your tongue Razor blade wounds To suck out all my poisons Sweet lonely lullaby Accusing eyes of sodomy Picture perfect prodigy My deadly sin A bitter taste of arson Burning in my organ Your the pyre that burns away my mortality A sip of tea made from Lilly of the Valley A shadow of death stalking with Odd angel like wings A numbing kiss Like downing in morphine My oblivion Sweet arms to rest in Till my vision no longer holds eyes neither like hell nor heaven Cocaine addiction That drip of drugs into your system Intoxicated blood stream Id rather not dream And instead get lost within your paralyzing - Your paralyzing - brain lapse - your moving too fast Stay slow and dreamy Dancing silhouette like a burning Forest fire, pain throughout my veins Ravishing and beautiful A voice torn from my throat dying joyful with my last vision being you

My name is Vitor Santos and I’m the singer and guitar player in a small band called EVOLS from Portugal. I have used your poem “Love like cocaine” in a song and I would like to ask for your permission to use that poem to release a LP (Vinyl – 150 copies)? We don’t have much money but we like to respect other artists work. I can send you the song if you want to listen. Thank you. I will be waiting for your feedback. Any questions Evols email is thebandevols@gmail.com. All the best, Vítor

stay away from the YaY-Yo and Morphine. Stick to the green sticky icky and the ultraviolet dreams. I jokingly say that 15 years ago, I really didn't like cocaine, I simply loved the smell of it! Ya DiGG, THis poem is well put together, I sense much metaphoria. I worry less for those who can write about tribulations with a learning tear, and more for those in denial, or just plain ignorant to the snare. Peace out poetess. Long time, no READ, well until today, JoEy

Damn !!! I love the way you write. Raw yet refined,vulnerable and bad ass all at once. I'll definitely be back for more. P.S> If your describing your own path in this one be careful not to wander too close to the edge. Take it from me , It's a slippery slope. A fun ride down , but tough to climb back up.
