Opium was his mind bridge
It took him down to Xanadu.
Just think what Ecstasy would do....

To My Teacher
What my teacher
injected me with
While in the school
was not education
It was opium of life
That made me drunk
And with imagination
Of an eagle in the sky...

A Trip To the Orient
by Wayne Wysocki
A poppy is pretty and bright
And its juice is so far out of sight
That the smoke in a den
Full of dirty old men
Makes all of them high as a kite....

Optimistically Reinventing Myself
A paregoric solution might be the ticket.
To making me feel more spry like a cricket.
If I could find the wonderful opium I need
I could start over like a phoenix with baby bird seed....

The Girl Who Stopped Loving the Moon
I no longer await you,
nor I mark my calendar.
No more staring,
no more howling,
no more skinny dipping
in your light.
I peeled off the shine.
You are just a bitter opium
that rots in my veins
and gives me headaches....

Sequence of Events
Previously seen in Opium dreams,
These scenes of Deja-Vu
Future reference balance beams
(The Present misconstrued)
In retrospect, I do reflect,
"Did I see the warning signs?"
Time is met with sheer suspect
As Life rewinds the past unkind...

Assert yourself
Gluey aftersight
here is a drunken police officer
loved by a friendless prostitute
here is Chinese opium den
taping around your eyes
Here is a boy loved by many
adored by the crowd
a lonely ballerina who
would love to change places

Love With Scent
Flowing freely your ebony hair
like the night sky
scattering fragrance
my heart clamoring in my chest
like a storm you triffle with it
your pristine glance
like a feast when you smile
my thoughts disturbed
my breath like opium
it drives me mad...

Opium Oracle
ominous skies of gloom
orbit through my head
obsessive while oblivious
ornery dragons and
offspring hovering
o’er lofty castles
obtusely perched in
opulent misty glens
of opportunistic prophecy

Kubla Cant
After beginning Coleridge’s dream,
(exotic fields, great heights, in juicy Kubla-kahn),
lungs met nefarious opium pipe,
quickly rendering Samuel’s tale unremembered
via wicked Xanadu’s yawpish zephyr.
----------
yawpish - hungry
zephyr - a west wind...

The Climate
The climate
Is an elephant on opium
Weaned off.
Going berserk
Throwing things around
Tearing the
Polaris into fragments.
Hurricanes
Storms
Flooding.
Scorching summers
Arctic winters
There is no end
To the elephants
Despair.
Slim the elephant
Normal food
It will soften
Its rampage
And trumpeting....

Naughty Queen Vicky
It may come as quite a shock
but Queen Victoria
Loved a curry on a Friday night
liked plenty of sex
and smoked pot.
Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert, had 9 children together. Her Indian servant and confidant introduced her to Indian food. Taking drugs and opium were legal in such times.

Spring Goddess
Your kiss is laced with opium
and your eyes ablaze with fire
Gaze at me and I burn
caress me and I'm captured
I am yours
I run to you as a traveler
seeks the shade of a tree
when scorched by the sun
It is Spring
shelter me with your blanket of leaves
It is such joy to find you
where meadows are in bloom..

Jilted From the Altar
If love was just a picture,
Then the frame would be the heart.
Those who waited in faith and patience,
Remained recluse in love.
Love is the little hope that one's wants,
But deserts in times of needs...
Abandoned by true love is the misery of reality,
As only those who went through knows the opium of true love....

I'Ll Drink To That
Bourbon; whisky- on the rocks,
Chased by draughts of Coke
Or was it lines sniffed from the clock-
Forgotten after several tokes?
Join the Clan of Ativan,
(Betrothed to one Ms. Lora Tab)
In vodka pools, serenely swam-
By many needles, duly stabbed
My Ecstasy for LSD,
In quiet dens of Opium
Magic Mushrooms picked for me-
And a sip of amber rum......

Musky Bottles Pour.............
These
senses,
these senses
are
rich ,
rich keys
to a wilted
wilted corner
of my world......
Opium velvet,
heady......
flooding,
..flooding jewels,
crushed flowers around my mind,
Musky bottles pour,
captured yellows...
Deep scented,
forgotten warmth........
of
Childhood......
CHILDHOOD...

Hope
Hope is not just a tranquilizer,
It's a placebo
To keep you alive
Till the doctor comes!
Never you lose hope, never!
Hope is not just an opium,
When the chips are down,
Hope is that part of you
That keeps you alive
It keeps you looking at the brighter side!
Problems are strong, fears are stronger,
But the smallest hope, could conquer them all....

Friends
Souls surface, scared and torn.
Fearful child, you were so wise.
Too precious for this filth,
Though every diamond came from muck.
Sadistic friend, your corruption
Knows no limits.
He who mocks with such venom
Poisons his own heart.
Crippled breath, you run here
In these veins,
A black opium, oh hidden puppeteer!
I suppose you have forgotten me
By now....
