Intoxication

I stare up at the silver moon in a disorientated daze

Fumes of yellow, purple and green alter the haze

I gaze across the metropolis as my mind runs free

Geometric patterns dance rhythmically before me

The streets below are lined with silent cars and naked trees

The sights and sounds of the city coalesce with the breeze

White crested waves rock the boats floating in the dock

The land rises in the distance as marsh slowly turns to rock

I inhale and get lost in a cloud of intoxicating smoke

Like a glutton, I drain the elixir until I choke

With bloodshot eyes, I’ve arisen as one of the undead

With the ailing of a vampire that needs to be fed

I have a fervent appetite for life that I cannot sate

I search the corners of my mind as it gets late

Another puff from a herb of devious intent

A ticket to paradise, available for rent

I feel warmth emanate from her skin

I lust like the devil as I resist a desire to sin

I transform into a wolf and howl at the moon

I turn up the bass and dance around the room

Thoughts of past and future are lost

Present reigns supreme, for a small cost

Slip into a world of fantasy and dream

It feels inviting, yet nothing is as it seems
