Description Perfect longing of the aching heart,
        stuck in a swirling hole of despair
        and loneliness,
Together we search rooftops for the
        lost treasure of a drug-
        induced haze,
The Promised Land, our Mecca,
        one Mind’s Nirvana of the
        earth-stricken body.
Synapses receive pieces of our
        forgotten understanding,
        most of which floats just
        out of our reach.
Jumping higher we try to catch it,
        not for ourselves,
        but for each other.
Shared desires holding you close,
        distance pushing you farther away.
Thrusting ourselves toward the moon,
        we fall together
        unable to catch each other.

I think "drug-induced haze" pretty much sums up this poem... What the hell was going on?

Um . . . it's supposed to be about me and my best friend trying to help each other through all the shit we're going through. I admit it's not one of my best, but he liked it. There were also supposed to be some Beat undertones because both of us love the Beat Generation.
