satiation ...
you melt, caramel
slip down my throat like honey
i swallow the taste, you
wait my sugar rush
imbibe again

drown
in poison...

Intoxicant of sublimation
New ruler of alienation
The channels change
As the mind stops,
And the images 
Fall away

After you have said good bye 
You feel pain cutting you like a knife 
No intoxicant can totally mask your pain 
So you will have to live with  it 
After you have said good bye...

Gifts of love grace Spring cabins' still-shivering mantle

   Intoxicant scents wafted into every corner -- covenantal

Luscious colors allure tempt Hope in dreamer's hearts

   ~ 'Till faded petals peel from sere stems, shuttled into anthills...

there once was a time
when i had value---
a worthy member
of society---
a respected entity;
but that was
when i was a young twig…
today i am seen as a dying
aged tree---a burden
stifling society---
a worthless stock,
leeching  a monthly
survival stipend
intoxicant (SSI):
tomorrow I will try to pawn 
my “forty years of service”

torn sonnet
We fell asleep while singing,
then you tell me only I did, I did,
in useless murky glow.
You were fine till last sip,
then you said I was Europe,

A spirit none can quash.
Yet sometimes only I limit this fire by doubts.
I feel like someone is tossing water at my rings of fire.
Sometimes I doubt my existence.
Only for the power of the pen to triumph.
Lo, behold my rings of fire.
A drive no intoxicant can bear.
A fire which rips the soul.
Yet drives the heart.
And Flabbergasts the brain.
My inner fire will stop never.
My fire, my everything....

The veil left unsuspended,
Leaving the shiny brights suppressed,
Mockery filled the ones molested, 
Any attempt will be streisanded

More, I need more! MORE!

A hole left unblocked,
Beneath my soul I resisted,
It was futile, and it will last,
As long as the beats left unsilenced.

MORE! I NEED MORE! PLEASE!

As I watch my fellows succumbed,
Breathing the same intoxicant,
Over and over, left unmanned.
Why would you do that, Human?
Or shall I blame the opposed?...
