Poem Title:
Poem
He found the road long and lonely. From this seemingly endless trek to monotony, He wished to enter a world, luminous and exciting; A world spun in iridescent colors and shades. He ventured to experiment with life And in due course slipped into psychedelic pleasures. As curls of cigarette smoke Were expelled out from his nostrils He floated on waves of psychedelic delight. A buzzing sensation swept across all his nerves. Overstepping the margins of reason He slipped into a state of altered reality Euphoria pulsed through his body from head to foot Got transported into a fantasy world. He savored the explosions of joy bubbles And indulged in strange sensory delights. The hippie culture cast a magic spell in him. Fell in love with the insidious drug LSD And often retreated into an illusory paradise, With nothing tormenting his body or mind, Reveling in the bliss of its comforting warmth. The drug became part of his daily routine. He experienced moments so surreal Felt flying, floating and soaring in ether. Living hallucinogenic, he didn’t know How to keep himself sane or become light headed, Without a hit of heroin or cocaine. He was getting addicted to it day by day. But the drug was slowly proving chaotic. The pleasant short term therapeutic outcome of the drug Was overshadowed by many of its tormenting effects Exposed to irritability, fatigue, spasms and tremors, He was becoming a menace to himself and others. Relying on the drug always to fend off his affliction, He was like an insect trapped in a web And a hungry arachnid spinning shackles around him. Thus, from psychedelic pleasures, He moved into psychedelic trauma.
