I Get High On Your Memory.

by Courageous Dreamer   Dec 26, 2008


[Written for a title contest. This is not what I'm feeling.]

The love we once had has diminished leaving permanent scars,
yet the memories we shared are something I cannot possibly forget.
Your sacchrine words oh how you sang them to my heart like a lullaby,
only that distinct voice of yours had the ability to make butterflies
appear in abundance and dance the way they did tickling me within.

Oh, and those ambrosial eyes that went on for infinity, everytime I gazed
into them, it felt like I was looking into a tunnel with no definite end.
I can't even begin to express how their twinkle hypnotized me.
Lips of mine left arid, yearning your honeyed kisses that were gently
placed with pure passion upon my neck for as long as I remember.

This deserted heart so hallow became so attached only to find that
believing someone would pulverize it to pieces at the drop of a dime.
Pain so agonizing resulted in being so naive, tumbling into an open trap.
Yet somehow, regardless of how bad the heartbreak hurt, I still love you.
What started as infatuation, evolved into obsession, and now I confess...

I am still addicted to your love, you left me with something special,
that I will never let go of, it will not fade no matter how hard I try
to forget you; and those memories you left me with will only linger.
I now know that it was your unique charm that made me fall.
In the very end you left me so addicted, that I'm high on your memory.

    Eye-catching title, very unique, I like it a lot..

    "The love we once had has diminished leaving permanent scars,
    yet the memories we shared are something I cannot possibly forget."

    I love how you open this piece, saying you have scars left, but you will never forget those everlasting memories with him, nice work...

    "Your sacchrine words oh how you sang them to my heart like a lullaby,
    only that distinct voice of yours had the ability to make butterflies
    appear in abundance and dance the way they did tickling me within."

    First line: I love the way you used "sacchrine", great vocabulary..
    Also, having the "oh", added a great affect.
    Excellent word choice, this is already making me speechless!

    "Oh, and those ambrosial eyes that went on for infinity, everytime I gazed
    into them, it felt like I was looking into a tunnel with no definite end.
    I can't even begin to express how their twinkle hypnotized me.

    placed with pure passion upon my neck for as long as I remember."

    First line: Vivid descriptions, and this really shows the things that you are feeling to the reader.

    My favorite part, "yearning your honeyed kisses...". Beautiful, I love how you said your lips were dry but wanting his lips to kiss you passionately...Wow!

    "This deserted heart so hallow became so attached only to find that
    believing someone would pulverize it to pieces at the drop of a dime.

    Great emotions in every line, you still love him through all the heartaches, your words are so powerful and have such a deep meaning..

    "I am still addicted to your love, you left me with something special,
    that I will never let go of, it will not fade no matter how hard I try
    to forget you; and those memories you left me with will only linger.

    In the very end you left me so addicted, that I'm high on your memory."

    Terrific ending, great wording, 5/5 from me. Really not much more to say, everything was great in this poem, feeling, wording, etc. Take care!
