describing him wasn't really as easy as they thought. they'd think of the first thing that popped to mind, and it tends to be; "he's like a stolid shell of whirling thoughts and jumbled words that seem to rush out of him in one sharp breath."

to me, he's an unlimited number of letters, words and numbers. he's a collage of the world's images, and he blends them together into a pièce de résistance. he lives by his superstitions and adores clichés, and refuses to believe in the ordinary. he pulls people to him, and they are oblivious to it.

they say, "being with him is like plunging into a whirlpool, impossible to clear your head and get out of. it's like sticking your finger into a pot of glue and trailing it over shaved paper. never comes off altogether at once, does it?"

to me, being with him is like falling off the shorter end of a rainbow and narrowly missing the pot of gold. it's the feeling when you're at the highest point of the swing, where time seems to stop and gravity doesn't seem to work. and he's there beside you, while the world swirls beneath you, and nothing can get to you.

they murmur, "he's like a roar of flames rushing over your head, heat unbearable, as it eats you inside out."

but i'd stop them there and say, even as my throat chars to ash, and as my eyes blacken, there's always a taste of yes, i want more. he's my addiction and i'm on a rush. and i don't see myself falling anytime soon.

but then again;

he is; a noun, and definitely indescribable, undefinable.

Wow, check this poem out, its brilliant! I love the concept you have going on, on others opinion and descriptions of him and then the actual authors description after. Its completely effective and shows just how much of an addition and importance this character plays to the author. I like the different adjectives you have got in here too, good idea, great writing and especially your most highest point of this is the way you wrap it up at the end perfectly! :D
