What's Your Name?

Its simply remarkable, the excitement I feel When I am blessed with your dominating presence I am easily drawn to you and immediately lost within you Traveling glorious heights exploring the depths of many heavens The sight of you promotes intense anticipation and extreme anxiety Umm…I am easily overwhelmed by a hunger, too strong to resist A tremendous desire for a need, to omnipotent and persistent to just dismiss Without you, my rational thoughts and actions become elusive and impulsive Emotionally, I am incoherent and unstable, besieged by a love so fragile but explosive Physically, I am deaden to the actual world around me But reanimated mentally and spiritually to the fictional world that impounds me Extreme chills and vigorous shaking spells, cleanses my flimsy body of any impure manifestations During the absence of your efficacious aroma filling my lungs with love I long for your intense inoculations Baby, I must be tripping…please inject me with your venom It’s what I want…it’s what I need and what I truly desire I don’t care what they say or how they characterize me All I know are the feelings we share together, you control my thoughts And I …I…I passionately ignite your fire I hear the rumors they call me weak and say I’m addicted to your love I say, I’m addicted to your autonomy, honesty, loyalty and spiritual essence We’re on another level, just you and me…I trust you with my life and you give me a different version of life One of trust, freedom and understanding, without apprehension Those other people fear change…they make such a big deal of change When it’s really all the same…there are no differences whether white or black My only disposition or concern is “why don’t I know your real name?” For months now, we have been intimate lovers, yet I only know you as “CRACK!”

What I love about this write, what I love about its third place finish, what I want to congratulate you for ... is the excellence that sets apart crack as a mere stigma of mainstream culture ... but one inside the addict's emotions ... bringing understanding to the type of relationship that interventions interrupt ... a sociologists delight. Bravo.
