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...
you've never been there
visualize yourself at the greatest you have ever felt
your 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
this is 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... at least trying not to be,
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.

holy fuck, man. This poem reminds me a lot of Walt Whitman--but unto itself it is almost unsettling because of how expertly it is weaved.
"Pathetic as it seems

The way you worded that was....wow....I love the tone of the narrator in this poem. And the flow of the entire first stanza is sheer perfection.

This was really a great write, with some interesting images presented. I felt like towards the end the flow was getting a little bit lost, but the first half was nearly flawless. Thanks so much for your entry!

take 5-HTP herbal vitamins to increase your serotonin production prior to doing E to decrease the risk of damaging your receptors.
I don't do E any more but I did a lot of research into it before I did back in the day (I am a researcher). E can give you some great feelings, but there is natural alternatives that you could look at. You need to love yourself and don't damage yourself to achieve a deeper happiness.
peace,
