Deb M Poet Rhyme

-My Full Blown Addiction

A new full blown addiction
ls now what l  possess
Which has entirely captured my body and soul 
Its intense hold…. mere words cannot express

Five months now since it started
Yet it is completely out of control
It is all l can think about 
Embedded eternally in my soul

This desire and longing is unbearable
The deep need for it is above all other
I must get my fix come what may
If not …what desperate measures it may uncover?

I believe my addiction is with me forever 
For my life ,its entirety and no shorter 
I must confess that my addiction is
My beautiful five month old  granddaughter!!

Enjoy the journey! Deb M January 3, 2025 at 9:39 AM Oh Kim you described that beautifully….l will enjoy every moment of what you said! Any likelihood there will be another one for you??
