euphoria
inspired by In Eclipse challenge
~
Ethyl alcohol is merely but a fraction of their drunken, mutual, disastrous attraction. With toxic fumes rising and negating, two
chloroform-soaked lovers writhing and hating,
littering slurs to the crowd like frantic frenemies,
inundating their mouths with lethal ecstasy,
pulsing colors lighting up their star-crossed destiny, while a
surge of the masses pushes at their need to be
eclipsed into oblivion just for tonite.

Perception
This was written for Paul's wonderfully creative unofficial challenge which you can read about in the link below! I chose to 'remix' or in my case, answer? Paul's words with my own, using his poem, Great Nothingness, as the inspiration. All words in italics are Paul's. His original piece was an acrostic for the Dancing with Distraction Vocal challenge. I followed the acrostic theme...you can see for yourself what I chose :)

What crazy images you paint! "Chloroform-soaked lovers" blew me out of the water. Phenomenal poem!
This is so well done. I feel like I'm there, squished in the middle of that mob. Wonderful work, my friend.
Oh, you are a master at weaving sensations into poetry -- I felt the euphoria in this one! Marvelous!
Oooo, chloroform soaked lovers. I really loved that! You did such a brilliant job with this Acrostic!
Yeah, Heather. What John and Rachel said. lol. Another scintilating piece that feels like it could only have come from you! bingobangowelldoneo!
I can't top John's comment. Ditto.
Your poem distills chaos and self-destruction to the pure, masochistic rage of a dance hall mob. All I can say is wow!
Oh it is amazing! I love it.
Wow!!! Loving it!!!♥ ♥ ♥
