High ( Bronze )

Exception without reason

unconditional love,

crossed barrier

linked in chains..

 

reaction shocked,

sparked in lightening clashes,

fork tongue spat venom,

in eyes blind...

 

Boy, a child,

smoke hook the drug,

controlled mind aimed ,

in heat of burning paper ash.

 

Scents the high,

floating in denial,

stressed his level ...

dropping.

 

Fail an understanding,

listen.. can you hear me crying,

inside out,

pain harsh reality..

 

blame the blameless,

target shot,

aimed..

 

for now I see its hold,

its power

and to where the balance we have to meet..

 


Author notes

2) When the power of love conquers the love of power,
the world will know.

    Wow; this was so deeply meaningful
    and filled with such emotion
    and original thoughts.

    Love where you took this prompt,
    would not have thought in the direction
    you took. Such a beautifully penned write
    from the heart.

    Great vocabulary and metaphors.

    Best of luck & thanks for entering

    I've never understood why people get hooked on this stuff. Maybe I'm just weird though sis. I don't smoke drink or do drugs. My weakness is black coffee and this web site. LOL
    You did a great job sis, good luck.

    This has struck a harsh nerve Julie..people think it is so safe..when in reality it is not...it destroyed my marriage..led to abuse verbal and violent...while he was chilling his stress levels dropping mine were rising because I knew what was coming. I would rather be high on living than something drug induced.

    Sorry to go on
    Good luck with the contest

    Poem is good. But i've never even had one in my mouth. I have no idea of its pull. Hoever it must be a very hard pull. I lost a son who used it many years ago.
