Mind Altering Drugs

Amphetamines are attractive

Instead of sleeping I am staring

The mirror sees a fat-free mess with a sweat varnish

I am foliage

Dying, tired yellow eyes and special red lips highlighted on a pale base

A strong heart marches loudly

Creating a neo warmth

The pains are fun

Tiny burns of chapped lips

The cough from another cigarette

I feel good, I’m tired and hungry

My mind is a jaguar

I bite down, teeth clamping is my head’s safety belt

I’m brilliant bathing in my philosophies

My friends should learn from me

I will write a bible

Anything written on

Anything written on Amphetamines usually lack whats needed to revist. And of all I am sure was written on speed, that is the first time it has been in the first line. I don't find Amphetamines attractive anymore, but that is just an opinion. Been there, done that. I have two extra kids for others love of it. I will keep an eye open for that coming Bible.

The poem is compelling, pushing you to read more till the end. It's like a book you can't put down. You're quite the writer. Phoenix.
