Premium Member Hope Lost and Found

I stand tall on the windy mountain side.
Look down on mankind’s world
And snort in depreciated disgust.

Let death embrace me in its jugged jaws.
I'm not afraid, just tired.  
This flagella of torrid life,
The gross garbage of man’s past,
The insignificance of the insecure future.

Time has no meaning.
A hallucinogenic rhythm 
Of the quintessence of nothing.
Bring on the rumbling war drums,
Raise up the sharp guillotine's blade,
Let the cacophony begin,
Let me dance to no rhythm
Of preconceived dreams.

For since the beginning of time
When humans invented drawings
Of men killing men, and sang
Songs resonating of rape and lust,
Of slander, conquests and plunder.

The day will come when we must
Give an account of our misdeeds.  
We turn our backs on good and evil,
We just don’t really care what happens
To unfortunate beings, our neighbors.
The writing is on the wall.
The seer chants: the end is near.

Yet something in me stirs.
I refuse to let go. For look
Not far away on this cold mountain
Is a rainbow, way up high,
As bluebirds happily fly on the other side
Of the shimmering bewitching hues, 
A consequence of a prism of raindrops.
One day, all our dreams become reality. 
Hope reigns again and all dreams come true.

Premium Member My Drug of Choice

Man-made drugs
Induce an altered state
A psychedelic paradise
Of euphoria
A burst of colors
Impaired reality of dreams
A fix of blissful forgetfulness
Married to ecstasy

What need have I of these?
When I have you
My drug of choice
I will not touch any of the others
But you, I long to touch…
To feel you under my fingertips
To caress before I ingest
And let you posses...

Every way I can have you is good…
I inject
Inhale
Take you in orally
Taste you laced with everything
Under my tongue...

There…ah….there….it begins
I start getting high….
Climbing and climbing
My roller coaster rocketing high
On your words
On the scent of your emotions
On the presence of you in my mind
Who could ever find
A more wholesome or better stimulant...

Yes, you stimulate every part of me
You excite me
Make me delirious
Bring fire to my veins
Drive me insane
Make me oblivious to the pain
Leave me wanting more than the time before
Wanting a larger dose of you
More dangerous
More hallucinogenic
Unaware of my surroundings
I climax on this induced trip
You….my drug of choice
The drug from which
There is not even an iota
Of hope for rehabilitation….EVER...

Every cell to my very core is under your control
I want you coursing in my blood
Flooding my brain
FIX AFTER FIX AFTER FIX
More often…more intense…longer…stronger…
What drug can compare to you?
My ever present addiction…
Opiate of my obsession
Drug of my choice….
YOU!

Eileen Manassian Ghali

Was struck by a bolt of inspiration on this one! :)

Belt it out with Amy Winehouse…..”They wanted to take me to rehab, but I said ‘NO, NO, NO’.” ;) When I teach my students a rule or so in grammar, I say, for example, "Can you use a comma to join two independent clauses? Is it enough punctuation?" Then, in answer, I belt out with Amy..."NO, NO, NO!" They laugh!

Took a Poem To a Knife Fight

I lost my mind
somewhere 
between the seconds    ticking
God left 
and the devil punched in


Stray winds
dark and long
blew coldly on my paper sails
as 
things I thought I knew 
sank away
down into lightless fathoms


And when 
in answer to my begging letters
a bashful dawn bled in
I made her promises
that somewhere 
deep within
I knew 
I’d only go and break

In a Dream Called Passion

In a dream called passion



Ensconced in effervescent lingerings
sifting through moonlit seams
Soft flavored drippings of ecstasy
melting slowly within the fever
dancing across my skin
as your fingers trace
the outline of my deepest secrets,
mysteries lodged in seductive breaths

Sweet air murmurs in erotic whispers

Your love my opiate, addictive enchantment
Stimulated senses heightened
Sundrenched moans, silver lined
adrift on satin sighs
Floating delirious within
hallucinogenic eyes,
seducing my mind in eternal desires

Thoughts mingle in reflective desires

Trance infused emotions
cling to each nuance of mesmeric longings
Swirling smoke ringlets
penetrate whispering décolletage,
culminating in lustful motives
atop gilded sheets
immersed in our rapture,
etched in euphoria, drenched...

in a dream called passion

Good night Soupers


Ritual of Us

Within the twilight of the witching hour,
where dreams mingled with reality,
your tongue, a sacred blade, flicks me open—
each unspoken word unfurling from your lips
presses against the ache of mine like a spell.
And I gasp—

my lungs filled with stardust sighs,
as explosions of nebulae grace the dark behind my eyes.
"The clouds parted like the pursed lips of desire".
In the gravity of your kiss, I taste the cosmos,
each particle a hymn of knowing:
there is no holier truth

than to be drawn into your orbit.
The hallucinogenic hymnal hums low,
and secrets spill from me like sacred offerings,
stoking the fire of our ritualistic ravaging.
Our souls swirl with stardust and cosmic lust,
entwined in divine disarray,

beaming through a haze of shimmering particles.
Essence entangles like twin serpents—
coiled hemipenes locked in a celestial trance,
rekindling the ancient flame.
I stitch my lifelines into your skin, silver-threaded,
a living scripture written in shimmering ink.

Within this realm of halcyon hymns,
we are a sensual sonata,
notes melting into ether
as we dissolve, waiting
for the encore of reincarnation.
Our new bodies form

from the shards of broken constellations,
and we descend once more
through heaven’s opalescent gate—
hopeful that fate's hand, in quiet mercy,
will place us again
into each other’s sacred embrace.

The Rose Garden

They say there is a rose garden that blooms inside us now and again.
I remember how your breath was so sweet I wanted to swallow it
Whole – gobbling up your gasping wind – to drown my screaming
Passion, ignited by your soft molasses coated tongue, with the scent of rose
Blossoming inside me, where my blood rushed your love home – yes!
      Later I thought how strange it was, that it could last for so long, with me, 
Still breathing after you had left – for three days – I was exhaling your fumes! 
But, that memory was not distressing, no! Mildly hallucinogenic; it was swirling	
There in my blood, like the alcohol that washes away your scent – sometimes – 
Life is like searching a beer garden for a bottle of aphrodisiac potion you’ve lost.
      What’s more troubling is that all the other flowers continue to bloom.

Premium Member Angel Dust

On the street, it is known as “angel dust” colloquially.
It has a formal moniker in pharmacology.
The name is rather long, but is abbreviated to “PCP”
It was first synthesized as a dissociative anesthetic.
Among its side effects, it is hallucinogenic.
More seriously, to the nervous system, it is toxic.
Junkies can inhale it, ingest it, or it can be smoked.
With its use, the brain is adversely provoked.
What are often produced are hallucinations.
Sometimes, the drug fashions delusions.
There is numbness of pain, but distortions of reality.
This cannot be anything to use for you or me.

Thanks to wikipedia.org online encyclopedia for information I obtained to write this poem.

Dmt

"DMT (Dimethyltryptamine) is a hallucinogenic tryptamine drug that occurs naturally in many plants and animals. It is also referred to as the "spirit molecule" due to the intense psychedelic experience."

...but in the poetic world or my world, it stands for Dimensional Mind Transference...Do not try this at home Boys & Girls...unless you get a  mind-meld from Son of Spock lol...

This is my first attempt at a ~ Triple decker internal monorhymed reversible in an alliteration format...the first, middle and last words are monorhymed...in alliteration form and can be read backward...

No DMT was used in the making of this poem...well lol




Regulating realities restraining regularities ruling
Creating concepts constraining consumptions choosing
Alternating anomalies abstaining algorithms assuming
Pulsating parallels pertaining paradigms pursuing

Imaginations inventing inspirational insightful imagery
Vibrations virtual visitational viewing vicinity
Foundations fluctuating formational Fibonaccical facsimile
Sensations stimulating sensational sensorial symmetry


This verse can also be read backward

Premium Member Whacha Gonna Do

Send me your crazy 
You’re lazy 
The hallucinogenic hazy
The sick mother F***ers 
Who wanna see you pushing daisies 

Gimme your sinners 
Gimme your saints 
Gimme that 9 you use to fix problems 
You claim to never propagate

You got no patience 
You got no hope 
No way to cope 
The only skill you offer 
Is slinging something to smoke 

Be it from a barrel or pipe 
Your failure is F***ing ripe 

So whacha gonna do?

Join me in the grave?
Or live in a cage? 

Either way you’re a slave of rage  
The deeds of yesterday 
Write today’s page 

Is this sinking through the layers of insanity?
Or is it blinded by worthless vanity?

Come tell me your sad tale 
Your miserable story 
Your existence that you fail 

It’s ok that you’re worthless 
It’s ok that you’re hollow 
It’s quite easy to see 
That it’s evil you follow 

From the beginning 
To the present 
You never had a chance 
It was always failure 
That you had to romance 

I don’t blame you in your need 
To feed your greed 
Though I do question your methods 
Upon which you proceed

Do you ever look at the pattern that you follow?
Indeed nothing new 
And quite violently hollow 

Ever wonder if you’re better than trash?
Or is the need for quick satisfaction 
Seem rash?

I have always wondered 
About the need for recognition 

Is it really satisfying?
To recognize one’s self addiction?

Thoughts to contemplate 
Of your self worth’s fate

A lifelong pursuit 
Of green paper’s debate

Such a trivial pursuit 
I rate

Premium Member Atonement

Atonement


                        Words laden with regrets spilled over profusely
                        Regurgitating blobs of ancient narcissistic deed
                        Awaken realization for vanity obfuscates reality
                        Enchanted by the force of hallucinogenic greed


                        To gyrations life dances oblivious towards time
                        Sparks amidst a storm ignites portentous skies
                        As Earth navigates apathy decimates the clime
                        Incredulous eyes evokes counsel from the wise


                         When youth ebbs spider webs embellish a face
                         Engrained memories from yesteryear reappear
                         The future herald adversities he must embrace
                         Bestowed clemency atonement overpower fear

Aboard "Vision of the Seas"
Cruising toward Mykonos, Greece

Drone

Speedier than lickety-split
Ready to jump tall structures in a hit
More powerful than an electric bolt 
In a solitary bounding jolt

Look up in the sky! 
It's a creature, lowly flying high
Think, it's a robot, I admit 
Hmm, what is it?

Our own selves underneath, the vapid worn-out drapes 
Hallucinogenic lights enlightening our shapes
Howbeit, the quiet mumble, hereupon
And the hum buzz wavering, of hanger-on 

Murmuring about outside within sight
Their sharp edges cutting the night 
It employs a spying eye 
Every which way of the sky 

By itself/oneself freaking out 
Not realizing what could be about 
All by one's lonesome, can't unwind at all 
The observation in awe 'n appall

Tis' gathering data on- I for one and you 
It's looking at all that we do 
Why goodness- gracious, I bemoan 
Why Yes! It's a DRONE!...

My Jouncing Gait During Boyhood

(an All Poetry feat to walk in 
the poetic feet of Robert Frost)

Bucolic New England, circa
Early twentieth century New England
awash with dynamic harmonic leisureliness,
when much of North America favored rustic

visual whirled wide webbed watercolor
waiting afield at dusk, the thrum
of nature all abuzz didst feed thine
dizzily green jovial mien

unlike mean Gary Lewis
veritable innocence and naiveté
rollicked with mine lanky frame
relishing ambling into my own quietude

an infinite breadth, length and scope
of infrequently trammeled near virgin
woodland paths grown over with brambles
nonetheless a faintly trussed harbinger

marked by weatherbeaten 
for sale signposts
with here and there an abandoned plow
long since given over
 
to rust when the pasture
seasons elapsed since 
farmer(s) left unharvested
fecund fields absent
 
the cloven hoof,
and deprived enrichment 
manure, sans ungulates
ceased sufficing healthy
 
free ranging bovines,
where etudes punctuated
the terribly gross fresh air,
now no longer audibly quickening,

snapchatting, nor twittering
with the last word of a bluebird
deathly silence now 'cept
the wind in the willows

whispering woebegone laments
tree tops pining to cradle
idle youthful dreamers
boughs devoid of

psalm quivering romantic songstress
clattering debris merely
delivering echoed whooshing refrains
continually disintegrating among

in a disused graveyard
prescient ken aches with nostalgia
hallucinogenic nightmare slams
irrevocably shut the door in the dark

closed for good upon the onset,
wrought genocide against
the vanishing Red man,
a ghostly scarification meaningless ritual
wrested, removed, and highjacked

from indigenous peoples
without rhyme, nor reason
as fraternities no 
longer pledge allegiance.

Analytical Romance

How can one fathom the most curious emotion of love? 

Some ride the very idea of romance their entire existence. Straddling along the 
bareback spine of annoyance and tyrannical and zealous possessiveness.  

To allow one's self to derive hope and idealistic success, from an originally prescribed  
placebo- concocting happiness. Or so we think, as mind-blocked as we are from 
voracious persistence. Blocked upon block, upon block. 

Tempting the sheer catastrophic gal of aggravated ignorance. We play the fall game 
upon a field of cacti, and this emotion seems to captivate our consciousness at a 
hallucinogenic level allowing us to drop. Drop. Drop...effortlessly. 

It appears to be so minute in a realistic importance, love, but in actuality, it weighs 
down more than half of our humanistic ideology -consequently, a cataclysmic downpour 
of unfathomable preponderance. Fathomable by the most blissful of minds..
