Laugh laugh laugh
but nothing is there
Pounding furiously
Pounding hard
Pounding upon pounding

Flying higher than you have ever before flown
Being wittier than you ever believed possible
People are amazed by you
You are amazed by yourself
A twirling dervish you cannot slow down
You swirl and dance,
stamping your legs raw
Your toes fall off
but you are too busy to notice.

cry cry cry
because the laughing won’t stop
Laugh-crying,
Racing yourself
Racing your goodness
Racing your truth
Racing to a finish line
Knowing you will never fully be finished.
High on life
On yourself
On enthusiasm.
On you.

Premium MemberLive Onstage--Amphetamine

A relay of moods dribbles on and on
when euphoric tunes kick in:
Jazz, R& B, slow funk, wild pop
igniting primal ecstasy, in the flesh...raw!

Live music leaves me breathless
as thuds of a drum, the intricate fondling
from saxophones blast these veins...
until intoxicated head convulses,

Pulse beat raised at 110, my torso
gyring in motions unknown—
the cortisol of anticipation surging
adrenaline doses gushing...just then,

Philip Bailey whams a falsetto, 
higher than high in a climatic lift;
my whole body possessed without Reasons
on Fantasy’s electric stage—

Another grasp of dismembering reality lures
where smoky thirst begs for more notes;
an elevated zing which drugs my soul …
yet, nights ask for more live concerts.

Poetry's my amphetamine,
My brain's everyday vitamin,

It is a cure for my boredom,
My heart's expression of freedom,

My placebo for the day,
It keeps all my fears at bay,

The prescription for my disease,
It keeps my soul and mind at ease,

My drug, my pill, my medicine,
Poetry's my amphetamine.

My Amphetamine

I see your face
In a crowd of skeletons
You don’t see me
Hiding behind them all

My heart starts to run
Sprinting in circles
Back and forth
A caged animal released
Not quite sure where to go

You see me
For a second your eyes lock with mine
Followed by a gentle grin 

Warmth and desire
Floods my body
Blood rushing through every vessel 
Veins pumping every which way

But then you’re lost amongst them all
And I’m left out of breath
Wondering
Where I’ll see you next
How to get another fix

Enantiomers do not make my amphetamine.
No cognitive enhancers do I need.
Don’t bother giving me that crazy Benzedrine.
Imagination was my mind’s first seed.

I need no extra sleep; I’m sufficiently awake.
I”m not depressed; no euphoriant for me!
My needs are met; I sure want nothing fake.
I get high on life and poetry!

Amphetamine

Expositions delight, I have it now,
into the mirror I take a bow.
My narcotic panic,
for my inner wack cynic.

A saber in my hand,
ready for battles in the sand.
And drop focus onto my heart,
I just to began to start.

Tweak on my freak on,
constantly play like Tron.
but I cannot respond,
I'm going at her like James Bond.

Am I at a show?
Or just watching the traffic move slow?
Don't matter! - I won't go!
Not until this last rock does glow.

My Amphetamine

The anger I feel, it currently rains
Its the fuel that drives my reigns 
It pumps my blood through my veins
Breaking the skin at times, leaving stains 

It builds, increases, stacks and never ceases
It pumps, courses, I never know the reason
It needs to halt, wait, stop before the creases
Rip, tear, show too much wear. It is like treason 

But regardless it is not speed, or an aphrodisiac 
And it is not a drug for an insomniac 
It is not a synthetic made craft like ketamine or crack
It is pure rage. It is natural born. It is my Amphetamine, in fact.

Amphetamine of Choice

I hold my breath as lights go down 
adrenaline overflowing
red curtains part 
a shot in the dark stills my pumping heart

Transported to another world 
of fantasy and make believe
music permeates my soul 
mind and body feeling whole

Before too long the end is nigh 
euphoric I'm still on a high 
I rise for a standing ovation 
extolling with total elation 

Amphetamine of choice helps feed my addiction
my malady fixed with a weekly prescription

Amphetamine

AMPHETAMINE

I feel the beating of my heart
and I wake up with a start
not worrying or hurrying
just use the speed that I impart
to transmit, relay or convey
the glory of a brand new day
as the power of a drug
might aid me while I rev my brain
no ambling like a common slug
I break fast… now my coffee’s gone
with my toast to egg on bac on
then rush outdoors to greet the dawn
I’m flushed with energy and brawn
I sit to put my Nikes on
a moon walk from my quaint abode
to  jog on to the open road
I know I can no longer wean
on what is called Amphetamine

Hail, oh hypoactive attention deficit,
With a brain that's raveled in tumbleweed,
Inundate thy mind with alchemical medicine,
To satisfy thy folly's focus dressed in tweed. 

Suck the soma from these amphetamines,
Which waken your wary thoughts,
Add a mix of dimethyltriptamine,
And in the senses thou shall be caught.

Light becomes a lucid liquid,
A river of retinal inquisition,
And for the cognizantly gifted,
A litany of lack in controlled contrition.

Sound is but a moving matter,
That meanders in the rings,
On your head which absords that chatter,
Of what the plasma sings.

Taste is touch and touch is smell,
And all are in your seventh chakra,
An eye inscribed in the Book of Kells,
Which binds below to your basal sacrum.

Now grind the gears of the mental cogs,
Which spring forth from shaken action,
Taken from the growing fog,
Of your addiction's satisfaction.

Season of Amphetamine

Young girl at the age of only seventeen.
Got herself wrapped up in every form of amphetamine.
And only if I had the guts to do something.
Take that pain and make her clean by Spring.
Hey, maybe we can talk things over.
We can try again and make your life pure and sober.
Please oh please, for the sake of us, (your friends.)
Drop this street cred, hood life, crack house trend.
I can't be a part of this anymore, I apologize
Life is once and ive learned to realize.
Tonight is the night i will replenish
Tell the lights that she is not finished.
I will hold my candle way up high.
All of you please stand up; we can abide. "Lets stop living a lie"
