Ode to lysergic acid - A poem

Lights are getting brighter
You look really tall
Shadows are dancing on the wall
Everything is so cool
Relax before take-off
Get ready for fun
I'm tripping so hard
Can you feel it?

Are you seeing this too?
Can I bum another smoke?
I really need a cigarette
Do you know where we are?

Delusional? Me? No way!
I'm tripping so hard
Eh? Sorry I need to get my space
Together
Have you seen the rainbow swirls?
You should try closing your eyes
Look at that!
A man sitting on my stereo cabinet
Man, this is awesome
I'm tripping so hard
Damn I want some more
Everyday

 

Come on man, you can be more creative than that.

 

yeah man seriously. on acid I'm like hemmingway, you can be more elaborate and expressive then, "man can i bum a cigarette?"

 

I know I could have done a lot better, and I will. I just had to get this one out of me. It may have more meaning than you realize though.

 

lol, what, spelling out lysergic acid diethylamide?

 

Go eat some more acid and write a better poem.

 

I wrote a poem about acid once, and I found it. I was never really good at it, I like writing, but not writing poetry. Here it is:

First came a ripple,
that set my vessel astray.
Next was the wave,
that sent my crew on their way.

Now, my vision is a blur,
as the storm swarms closer.
Have i prepared myself for this day?

Out here, in the darkest of seas,
through prisms, fierce lightning strikes.
The storm forces me to surrender
to death, and embrace that light.

Like the omniscient storm that
sits in the seat of my soul, has
death shown me life?


That was one of the first poems I can ever remember writing with the intent in mind of adding layers of complexity to a poem.
