Bruce Adams Poet Enclosed Rhyme

Addiction

Oh sweet addiction ! You are my Goddess
     You deliver me from tempest, darkness and fear
     Voice of life's problems I cannot hear
     So beautiful in your temptress dress.

     Oh sweet addiction ! Better than wealth or fame
     All night long, incredible pleasure !
     I kiss your wine, world's best treasure
     At the top of a high mountain, you scream my name !
 
     Oh sweet addiction ! You drowned me in the bottom of 7 seas.
     One night of pleasure, whole week of pain
     My head feels like it's been hit with a Cain !
     Sleeping in a gutter, sunburned head stung by many bees!

     Oh sweet addiction ! Get out of my life ! I need joy
     I am bigger than you, observer of your dark dissipating sore
     My whole life changed, from tiny mouse to lions roar !
     The moment of CHOICE to build my life rather than destroy.

Andrea Dietrich December 23, 2016 at 5:31 PM Bruce, I am sorry for people who face great addictions like this. Not sure what yours is, but I know even small addictions like I have are so very difficult to break, so I hope you can be free of the chains of your sweet addiction. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas too!! I like your writing style here.
