Crossing the addictions
of body and soul
Delirium tremens
is taking its toll
Like Nitro and Glycerin
waiting to strike
Their coupling disastrous
all day into night
My spirit when willing
the flesh all too weak
Those few days I’m able
my willpower bleak
The detox not working
no cure comes my way
All food tastes like poison
these shakes here to stay
A bomb ticks within me
its fuse ever burns
Tomorrow a concept
long stolen unlearned
With nerve endings fraught
and my body destroyed
These nightmare’s the worst
— when in daylight deployed

Will all of us rape

Moody.
He is absolutely blameless
Illogical, moral, and ethical arguments
He doesn't say anything; he simply does
It's conceivable he's behaving reflexively
It arrives, then vanishes
A kid is born and then dies
He lacks intelligence and emotional empathy
And the importance of balancing his relationships
It appears to be cruel and horrible
In both words and deeds

Rose gold love cups in a versatile nostrum
Cosmic waves pearl wind vault is strange,
Ephemeral vapors are rising by the podium
Cinnabar meteors devolved from damage.
Cosmic waves pearl wind vault is strange
Delirium tremens yield self-raggedness,
Cinnabar meteors devolved from damage
Smack dab in mid of commodious cosmos.
Delirium tremens yield self-raggedness
A moon-themed warmth glimmering quartz
Smack dab in mid of commodious cosmos,
Her own heart bestows her weather reports.
A moon-themed warmth glimmering quartz
Orphic blue sky echoes in the rose quartz lake,
Her own heart bestows her weather reports
Venus' loving glow shinily in the aeonian sake.
Orphic blue sky echoes in the rose quartz lake
Ephemeral vapors are rising by the podium
Venus' loving glow shinily in the aeonian sake,
Rose gold love cups in a versatile nostrum.

I won't get drunk
in a orgy ethylic dream ...
nor burn me
in spiritual alcohol ...
I don't desire evolutions
illusion of smoke life!
I don't wish to fall into the ruse
of wine, rum, sugar cane brandy ...
Today I dream
awake ...
I said goodbye to absinthe
addictive madness ...
to delirium tremens
and its cruel face ...
Today another emotion
further pulsing
permanent ecstasy
is my favorite opium ...
the direct enjoyment
of aesthetic pleasure
that only poetry
provides .... because only she
has.

I Won't be drunk
in bacal ethyl dream ...
nor fuel me
in spiritual alcohol ...
I don't desire evolutions,
illusion of smoke life!
I don't intend to fall for the ruse
of wine, rum, vodka ...
Today I dream
I am awaken ...
I said goodbye to absinthe
crazy madness ...
To the delirium tremens
and its cruel face ...
Today another thrill
further pulsating
permanent ecstasy
it's my beloved opium ...
it's direct enjoyment
the pleasure
aesthetic
that only poetry
offers .... because she is the one
that has plenty to donate ...!

We couldn't see the turmoil past their swirling smoke
Something strange although ? Seeking for a gesture her children
Granted this clarity should not be given; at least, in his physical realm
Ninty-nine blue balloons these answers wavering amid another's storms saddling
Up their unicorns ride captain ride, upon your mystery ship ? Bovine bottles and goat milk
Spilling from their lips hedge hog philosophy drawn from, portentouslies mystical pit: labyrinthos
Doggerel dogma Dodo's delirium tremens delivered aside Dae's podium being definitive's deism hiscere...
Maitre d'hotel feigned her facade espouse, gyrations; marinated peace signs his pork's stillborn ? Love's keyhole.

I guess we all have a story to tell, the best that one may ?
Marked these stripes their colours; heresy his heretic yesteryear
She screams of defeatism ? Delirium tremens; demagogue; lese majesty
Tableau's symbiosis embellished, melodies baroque; neoclassic patrimony....
Reverence while entering His Holy be holy ? Wanderlust, this monuments journey
Mephistopheles; blessed be the poor in spirit beauteous; Shiloh, their twinkling's eyes
Orphaned child ? Inherent her Simon Pure; physical chemistry; love, and we all have, a story.
