They call it chasing the dragon
Those addicted to drugs
But what do you call it
When you're addicted to love?
Those tingling sensations
Butterflies and temptations
Because baby you
You get me so high
The way I feel
Like its the first time
Stephen Norton Nov 2017
There's a fire that dances
Whimsical and true
Encased in flesh
Quite beautiful

The flames burst from brown
Wide open in white
Everything she touches
Burst forth with life

Tempered by heart
Twice as warm as the flames
But raging with vitality
That nothing can tame

I gazed into this fire
Amazed with wonder
I danced to her tune
I felt the hunger

Laid open and bare
The fires consume
But I'd turn to ash with her
And smile in the plumes

I love the way you envelope me
Like a blanket on a cool night
You protect me from a cold breeze
Because you comfort me
No liquid fire
No fiery herbs
Just the warm embrace of nothing
Calcium infused collagen
Guide me into sleep
Awake is a nightmare
Relax me
Slow to breathe
What is left is insignificant
What is forward doesn't matter
Legacies are earned
Not worth a stain to be remembered
Understanding would flatter
Am I mad?
I look forward to the answer
I just wrote this on the spot to try and express how I feel right now. I did not do any editing. I just wrote the words as they came to me.

You're a cereal monogamist
Forking tongues over breakfast
You take every bite
Not noticing the milk is sour
Stephen Norton Jun 2017
Milk my mind for creative juices
Take a sip and be inebriated
Stumble and walk
Stutter and talk
Be transported
Your mind in another world
While your body falls short

Let me register
Mechanical or electronic
Make motions
Or Fire synapses
Cause I'm about to cash out.
Stephen Norton May 2017
I'm incredible
Inedible
Unless you're a cannibal
Definitely bedible
To make some love
Stroke some rough
Give tough love
So bend over
Go forward
Close your eyes
And feign sober
Enjoy this moment
As I give you bliss
