Description
Listen, he said
you will go trough
the tunnel here,
when we push
this needle,
you will feel
a bit warm
I was lying there
flat on my back,
staring at the ceiling
trying not to think
and then I started
to move backwards
inside this machine
something began tumbling
like a washing machine
gone completely wild
and a metalic voice said
no breathing please
so I did, and then
the same voice told me
to breath again
and it all seemed
very foolish
but then the warmth came,
it started in my brain,
I started glowing
all through my body
and I thought WOW
these guys gave me
some fucking XTC,
it all came back
in a flash there was
that absolute feeling
of total peace,
I closed my eyes,
the fluorescent
green chicken wire
of pure MDMA
wrapping my world
into a total bliss
and the white flashes
of the purest white
you've ever seen
on an early morning
were there again
wel, it didn't last
30 seconds later
the glow was gone
and so were
my memories
of the early '90s
Was it OK?
the guy asked me
and I gave him
my broadest smile,
well, you should be
he said, that morphine
sticker will keep
your pain under control
so I thought:
well the cancer
might be bad
but the free drugs
take the edge away
just as they did
so many years ago
In my world
nothing ever
realy changes

The spiral of life - everything is right there, we just experience it on different levels, in different places. I love the way you write!

I can't help it. I sat, reading ever so slowly, and, as always, savoring your words, your writing, marveling at its clarity, especially when you likely wonder if its clear at all (and damn, it is!)... breathing it all in, seeing it, and you...the moment crystal clear..and I can't find an ounce of heaviness here. All I can see, focus on, is you feeling that beautiful slow simmer from within...the build of the inner glow..and you slow-grinning from ear to ear as you recognize it. And what did I do? Hell, I laughed...and the smile's still lingering. Well, someone DID suggest you write something lighter... That'll teach 'em, huh? ;) And, great perspective on the image, too, Dirk. Wonderful...all. :)
