Another Confession, Inspired By Denise Narayadu's Confessions of a Drug

You invigorated my mind, then followed my heart
I felt the loss of myself  as the dark hours passed
Will this wanting ever end, how could I let it start

You were so clever slowly breaking me part by part
Brief moments of euphoria that never seem to last
You invigorated my mind, then followed my heart

Now I’m a donkey and for a carrot I’ll pull the cart
Slave to a cruel master and forever I will be outcast
Will this wanting ever end, how could I let it start

A wise fool I am, confessing myself I’m so smart
Foolishness displayed by the useless questions I ask
You invigorated my mind, then followed my heart

If you’re confessing your weakness, I’ll cast a dart
You feel the sting, and my words make you aghast
Will this wanting end, how could I let is even start

You want reality  to be one glorious work of art
Out of that, only shame and regret have amassed
You invigorated my mind, then followed my heart
Will this wanting ever end, how could I let it start 


As stated this was inspired by Denise Narayadu's poem. Denise is a wonderful poet who's work I recently discovered, she's gaining momentum quickly.

Login to Reply Wayland Bunch Date: 12/14/2013 11:17:00 AM Your poetry I'd very powerful, like I said this really only emphasises a few lines from your poem. I could probably write ten villanelles over it, but I won't attempt it lol. Thanks for your comment and always for reading.

Richard Lamoureux Date: 12/14/2013 7:35:00 AM You are very good at this form. You may wish to consider changing past to passed, it still rhymes but makes more sense in the context of how you have written the line.
