Hallucination

I wrote this poem yesterday when my friend told me he smoked some drug that made him hallucinate and he told me about his experience in an IM and when he first started talking, it sounded poetic so I decided to lead him on and the words are 98% exactly an

“Hallucination”
a Freestyle poem by
Maria del Carmen

He said, “I literally saw bright colors and shapes turn;

Faces fading as my world changed.

I was numb and so giggly.”

Then she said, “That would've been a sight to see.”

“I felt like I was climbing a mountain

And when it first hit, it came almost in an instant.

It built like a storm and I began to crawl.”

 

“What was the storm like?

Was it raining, snowing, hailing or more?”

“Clouds of darkness waving and spiraling around a child

With images of fear and love yet I didn’t know which to touch.

It only made the euphoria more exotic and more wild;

Like a blooming rose bush in the wild in that way.”

 

“What an hallucination...” she breathed
Then he said, “F***s with your brain and makes you see s**t.”

 

But she didn’t see it that way.

She said, “I find what you just told me very interesting and a piece of art;

A painting of some world that comes to you when your senses are more heightened,

Opened, and more vulnerable to the fear of the vision to haunt you,

Yet it gives off a vision that's art”

 

“That’s what I got”

 

Then she asked the ultimate question in which she felt the need to ask
“So what do you think about what you went through whilst having your hallucination now?

What did you take away from the experience?”

 

Only for his answer to be
“Nothing really just letting go with whatever”

 

“I see”

Again, not the best of the best but I did my best and I am very proud of it. It is beyond what I have ever read and anything I've ever wrote (not that I've written much). Rate! Comment! Thank you!
