Ecstasy
This is for all of you that have never felt nirvana
A whirlwind of emotions that grabs your heart
and
hangs tight
Love that was shown by body language
and
temperature changes
Reddening of cheeks were indications
of
maximum peaks
and
optical sensations
textures were bright and the air was soft
and our skin was emitting warmth
our bodies at an excitement level
so unimaginable,
a happiness so fucking unattainable
you can’t even have it explained
but...
visualize yourself at the greatest you have ever felt
you heart, high off the feeling of being alive
all the chemicals your brain is circulating to your blood stream
in reaction to the ecstasy is stimulating empowering emotions
taking you to a state of mind where you will for the first time in your life:
live awake
in appreciation of everything you hold,
and then
sense the euphoric consciousness of being a breathing individual
a member of the community of life
that meaning,
equal to anything living
no barriers,
no perspective painted
black
or
white
but indifferent
IN LOVE of every single particle creating your moment
Your picture perfect moment
For a glimpse you understand life.
For those of you that don’t understand
Its because you CAN’T understand
You can never perceive and experience this fantasy
And simply because…
You have never tasted ecstasy
because you have never felt another perception
of life at a mentality of comprehensiveness
Pathetic as it seems
It requires such an unnatural substance
To brew this lucid dream
If only sobriety could’ve let us to this point...
Now drained the morning after,
I face a comedown, the feeling I felt last night...
missing...
I'm not sad... not happy,
not anything.
just trying to make this go by as fast as possible
Cheap imitations of joy
Have made sentimentalism civilization’s toy.

Being compelled to write something often points out that lots of people think the same as you on this matter. Your poem was great becasue you only stated the true intention of the poem at the end, leaving the first parts for us to think about and then wrapping it up very nicely. I congratulate you on a wonderful poem
Well done,
Chin up,

I love : "Love that was shown by body language
and
temperature changes
Reddening of cheeks were indications
of
maximum peaks
and
optical sensations"...and "a happiness so fucking unattainable" because paired with happiness, fucking was a really good word choice for here....it emits so much emotion equated with that forsaken happiness described. and it flows so beautifully. you've captured a rhythm here that seems to be unique to you samm....i catch glimpses of it in each of your masterpieces....
"a state of mind where you will for the first time in your life:
live awake
in appreciation of everything you hold,
and then
sense the euphoric consciousness of being a breathing individual
a member of the community of life
that meaning,
equal to anything living
no barriers,
no perspective painted
black
or
white
but indifferent...For a glimpse you understand life.
...because you have never felt another perception
of life at a mentality of comprehensiveness "--these lines here....are my religion. I love this. The way you've described this is just...wow....
And oh how superbly you have closed this poem. Great last stanza....Such a scary truth....but true, however scary it is....you are very wise...
