Dangerous Dalliance

Nights of passion with no strings attached
 Ignited by booze and a lusty zest,
 Bodies gyrating, so tightly pressed,
 Wanton desire, emotions detached

 Regrets come with hangovers that can't be patched
 The night was a blur, yet he felt stressed,
 Nights of passion with no strings attached
 Ignited by booze and a lusty zest

 A dangerous dalliance with decisions poorly hatched
 But he would party again on his boozy quest
 Addiction beckoned, you know the rest
 On dangerous dalliances he became latched,
 Nights of passion, with no strings attached

Not just the addiction but the fact he could get someone pregnant. A horrible lifestyle described very well.

WoW! Joseph, You wrote about the lifestyle of an “ alcoholic” very well. Until one gets help they are a “ slave” too boos( or any other addiction). I’m speaking from experience. I wrote out it my poem” A Constant Friend” Excellent job. Have a wonderful weekend-Alexis

I guess you could say alcohol addiction brings about other addictions

Decisions are dangerous, when thinking is blurred. Actions have consequences that sometimes cannot be undone. Such a powerful message within, my dear friend. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Nights of passion, with no strings attached--your opening and ending lines perfectly illustrates the essence of the theme. Well written to convey the lure of lust.

Addiction can make someone act out of character, i know some who use rage when they are drunk but then regret it in the morning or forget they even did anything wrong.. I hope they get the help they need.
