Intoxication

Suzanne Mondoux · 31 March 2020

To feel this life in all it’s glory even for just a moment What my heart sings raptures my soul Forever living the moment of ecstasy and wonder What lies beneath the silent voices of such a life

It’s intoxication I feel for you and me in this world of wonder Intoxication flowing through my veins Like fire rushing through the forest to stay alive Each breath of intoxication fills my body with overwhelming love

I walk through the streets in a trance So close and yet so far from everything real and imagined My intoxicated eyes follow the dreamy world around me The intoxication of the world created in my mind

The wind carries me over the hills and sets me down into the valleys I rise and fall in and around the clouds My intoxicated body on the ground looks up at the stars An intoxicated heart in a body sometimes with life, sometimes without

Hmm, whoa, hmm, whoa, intoxication of my soul In love with the ideal of me, to befriend when truly known Intoxicated life alone in my mind I look down at my hands to see that I’m there

Intoxication of a heart on fire for love Intoxication of a life to be known
