Best Mind Altering Poems


From Our First Day

I fear the day our words cease to say
How much I need your love in every way
As our love is tested in such a mind-altering play
You know I pray in every way for God to take us away
Just like we planned it from the very first day
We knew our love was here to stay
 
Everything has been on display in such a bad way 
Oh God, why are we living in such disarray?
Isn't our love powerful enough to sway
What holds us up and keeps getting in our way 
So again I pray in every way 
For God to take us away  
To our love that is here to stay

I ask in your son's name 
Oh please God from up above
Won't you show us the love 
That came straight from you?
When you revealed
What a blessing had come our way
 
Because we trust you on all our pathways 
From the love you bestowed upon us 
From our first day 
We planned our getaway 
So as we approach another day 
It's with that same love we pray
To you from our first day

Oh, how I pray this to send your way  
Because of the love that's underway
It's as beautiful as a ballet 
That you want to replay
In every way day after day 
So very true according to what 
We learned from you
Our God we love in every way

Can You Hear

The fairies are whispering
A beauty with long dark brown curly hair and eyes
The color of a walnut tree
Has captured the heart of their fairy king.
They heard he is even going to bestow the special
Fairy water wedding ring
Which has unique powers for royalty.
The fairies are whispering
This evening
It is a love that fulfills his destiny.
Get this a human has captured the heart of our
Fairy king.
In another time this would of been mind altering
Wouldn't you agree?
The fairies are whispering
Their king is marrying
By the special powers that be.
A human has captured the heart of our fairy king.
With this ring I thee marry so there is no sting
We both live for eternity.
The fairies are whispering
They now have a queen and fairy king.

Premium Member Thank You

They gave our children mind altering
poisonous drugs to eat,
and we said thank you.
They gave our children excessive violence
and sadistic sex films to see,
and we said thank you.
They performed mutilating surgery
on our children’s' genitals, and we said
thank you.
They turned public education into
propaganda and indoctrination,
they blasphemed God and Faith,
they took away our free speech,
took away our free and fair elections,
murdered children about to be born,
telling us to bend over again
this next election -- 
thank you
thank you
thank you
thank you
thank you
thank you.........................................

Premium Member Tranquillity

The ultimate compassionate
sensation resonates beyond
daily circumstances, travails

It is calming serenity
tapered by lustful indulgences
tempting peacefulness

You wonder how such blessings
could have been bestowed
upon a common utilitarian

personality rife with imperfections.
It's mind boggling
how forces intermingle

creating spheres of happiness.
It dangles illusions
of utopian perfection

transforming everyday misanthropes
into circumstantial bliss
that encapsulates illustrious

transcendental thoughts.
Mind altering realities
bestowed upon simplicities

of thoughtless ramifications
turning lackluster days
into something magical.

Drugs

DRUGS

Duping myself with that false belief for the
Recreational using of these mind altering
Until I find myself slipping from my sanity
Gripped by the uncontrolled insanity they
Say that I can't survive without them I fear

Her Sadness

Heavy-hearted beneath your bridge with tides drowning
Eccentric beyond repair and never learning your lesson
Relief found comfortable only when you're frowning

Somber ruefulness contingent on your severe depression
Addicted to any mind altering chemicals; lost not found
Dastardly and wicked like a cowardly lion and a thief
Nondescript and lacking the ability to stay earthbound
Embezzlement of your felicity was your only relief
Sedated from tranquilizers and subdued from persuasion
Suicide found alleviation and refrained from confrontation

This Is It


I rush and tumble, falling forth, falling in depths,
Accompanied by the bursting tune of melodies long forgotten.
Alas invisible I creep behind each desirable and place my touch,
I lull or fulminate them into themselves.

Dressed with feathers, pearls and ivory,
I conceal the fire beneath.
To remain invisible,
Is what is required of me.

Mountains, plains of yellow wheat,
Blue jays in trees,
And finesse red wine,
Compose what I deem my transcendence.

My knowing gaze has noticed all,
Every nuance, every mind altering passion.
I’ve wiped away the distressing tears of my own fault.
I’ve nurtured the lost lives of those succumbed to me.

For I am it; the great despised, the great adored.
Ceases only my touch, but beneath,
The charcoal rocks and pools of grey tears,
Their created idyll remains.

Pantophobia

Where does anyone find
the strength to abate the
repercussions of self hate

How to discard of the 
garbage we hoard, 
archive or crate ..

Continual sleepless nights 
the demons with in us we
try to fight with eyelids so 
heavy and full of fright.. 
Eyes stay open weighing heavier
with hurt of existence broken
of all left unspoken.
 
What to do with the fear 
when it slowly eats at your
insides like cancer 
why do these questions still 
remain unanswered
how to find comfort in the many
cages of the unquiet mind

how to keep silent when
the heart screams out loud 
how to rise above the darkest 
clouds....

Everyday conscious of 
just one thing to whom 
can anyone like this joy bring..

fights and discord met us at
the door are we the real victims or
are we the core.

Misery is knowing the solution
is to go numb or a mouthful of 
mind altering drugs...
don't deal just medicate
when thoughts are not clear
try altering it's state.

Do we choose to disappear 
or better yet to kill the parts in 
us  that suffer or do we continue
unscathed ignoring the desperate
pleas of our brother.

Things we are forced to hide
is what eventually traps us 
inside; or is it shame, guilt,
or the lost of self pride....

Everyday we beat our 
heads against the rock hoping 
only to cease the pain and the
constant ticking of the broken clock...

Christmas With You

Close your pretty eyes, and picture us cuddled next to the fireplace.
Heavenly paradise as I stare longingly into your angelic face.
Remove that negligee so my eyes can feast on your voluptuous creamy skin.
Intimate foreplay, and I'm putting my tongue in places that's never been!
Sensual mind altering love, and doing things you've allowed no man to explore.
Taking your body and mind above, unlocking that forbidden door.
Mistletoe passionate kisses, sending shivers up my very spine.
As magical as this love is, let me slip my tongue into your heavenly divine!
Santa is making your every desire come true, so let me ravish every inch of you.

With this pen and pad this Christmas will be well spent.
I want you to allow me to be bad as my fingers treat your body like an instrument!
Together we will make Christmas Carols on a blanket next to our tree.
Hold me tight as our bodies ignite universal poetry!

You give me a present that I will always treasure.
Object of my affection beyond measure!
Under the mistletoe, just know that I will never let you go!!!!

Just To Be Alive-The Journey Begins Contest

The Journey Begins Contest
Sponsor: Matt Caliri

My transit began not too long ago,
My life had headed in directions,
So unclear, even to my own liking,
As my daily life of bombshells explode,
I ran in short distances,
Driving further away from consistency,
My direction changed that night.
I fell in love with the fire,
I had to burn,
In order to feel,
Something...anything...
Choices made from self pity,
Actions portrayed from insecurity,
And I bled...
	...just to be alive.

See, that is only one part of my journey.
My life survived by making wise modifications,
My chains broke in March 2009,
And since then I have been determined,
To allow myself a fresh start,
Full of healthy mental images,
Getting drunk on happy moderation,
No mind altering chemicals would save me,
All the excess was swallowed whole,
This journey I have allowed myself to walk,
Brought me secure safety,
My conscience is finally free,
All my pain towards others,
And anguish inside my insanity,
Broke in a million of tiny pieces,
This new way of life is a gift,
Blessed with precious jewels,
Allowing surrender granted for my soul.
Now I have dreams,
Real dreams..
With real connections granted,
All my lessin's,
Turned into blessin's,
Now I sleep.
Now I care.
Now I live.
I am living my road less traveled,
I needed my wheels in motion,
In order to keep a journey so free,
By staying strong and being grateful...
       ...just to be alive.

Man At Last

Man at last

I know i was a man in the past
But i lost my way
I fell off the path
& the pain is overbearing
The thought of my kids thinking 
That their dad just wasn't caring 
But I've finally found my way back 
I no longer need a sack 
To forget my problems
Or numb the emotions 
I just need my girls by my side 
I am no longer needing to hide
My daughters have been deprived 
Now I'm ready to fight
Even if it's for the rest of my life 
I'll be on the front line of this War 
Cuz I feel it in my soul to the Core 
I don't need a mind altering chemical 
Their daddy is finally Unbreakable 
& like i said before 
I know I lost my way
And fell off the path In the past 
But trust and believe 
Im ready to be a man again at last

Pizzas Jumping Over Garlic Bread With Coleslaw Hairbands and Onion Ring Piercings

It is not a mind altering parade of substances that questions a rotting ship. It is not a threefold tankard buried in an Abyssinia besom of beads for only a technological advance actually shows such a word and such a word is neither an acute angle or a plastic xylophone. Booming bionic bulls bringing bacon backgrounds. An acute angle is not a cute horsefly. And an obtuse angle is too stubborn. Quite a threshold to compete against especially in strong winds but then elephants, giraffes, alligators, and snoring boars often cross river pathways. Don't they? Well really a soup and a spoon? Why not use a fork? A fork is very proud of it's prongs and who would prong an atomic carrot on a battalion of hereditary deeds? Surely if a pickled onion can sing a beautiful aria then a galloping gherkin can play bongos in a classical rendition. The plant thought it was a train but in fact it was the serene sound of a pig snoring. Ten loaves of bread, a silky cape, an atomic pistol and a shroud of golden oranges but not in a halo. Ok then. On a beach. Hahahahaha pushing pineapples over a cliff in a stormy teacup is akin to a lemon in a mud bath. Let it not be said that all potatoes are a wandering timeline. And standing as a tree on a motorway is about as hazardous as learning to play golf in a bathroom. And now the trees are waving. Good. Xxxxx incontinence Z z Z Z

The Sixties

So many things were going on.
In that decade of the new dawn.
Where peace and love fell short of war.
And no one can recall before.

Our innocence took a back seat.
When mind altering kept the beat.
It was before I had a mind.
And my own way was yet to find.

That's what I liked the most I guess.
I had no need to try impress.
A childhood years all open eyed.
But still didn't see when Grandpa died.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention.
The Beatles and all their attention.
For me they made the sun come out.
For me that's what the sixties were about.
