Canned Heat

Dancing filled something new
It wasn't quite the position or the flailing limbs about
Nor was it the quiet and horror filled looks I was receiving
It was the fact that I was with you
Finally with you
On one of the most magical nights of my life
Moving under the star filled sky
Surrounded by neon lights
Coursing down the rough terrain
Just you and me
Ostentatiously dancing the night away

Dose

The inebriation was impeccable
Blurs shuddered something viciously sweet
A surge of something not quite touchable by the mind
The silence crescendo-ed before it halting screeched to pianissimo
Graduation of quality seemed more like a pit fall
Clarity gouged its way through hazy morning lights
A scratch of reality bled into another dose
The tilt drew everything backwards
Things lazily ebbed into a quarantine of heads
A quiet drip and scant beep flowed past like fire
Burning deep into skin like seared numbers
Pricks and patches came with scattered exploits
New days crawled on broken limbs
Past memories flew uninhibited, prolonging a gaze downward
Exceptional foresight fell to a weary close
A dose for a rose and a torn nightmare
