["Therefore I take opium. It is a medicine.]
[I am a convalescent of the Moment.]
[I live in the groundfloor of Thought]

[and seeing life goes by grows me tedious."]

Opium, desire or will?

Inspiration bound from an elegant seed
Subversion, through smoke I foresee
Erotic motions of lesser gods in ectasy


Opium, bring me forth another dream
Spawn worlds of flesh and red,

little jewels of atrocity
Opium, I sleep in debauchery
And burn with you

when you burn in Me

Opium, we fantasize

as we fuse with your root
You are a strange flower,
we are your strangest fruit


Opium, it burns in me and you
Opium, it burns for me and for you


"Por isso eu tomo opio, é um remédio.
Sou um convalescente do momento.

Moro no rés do chão do pensamento
E ver passar a vida faz-me tédio"
