Gabrielle Jordan Poet Free verse

Seduction of Sorrow

and who said we are sober,

we so often swim deep within 
the swirling currents
of wasted thought

to ruminate
on our heartache and despair

we become intoxicated

by the scent 
of our own displeasure 
and what we consider
unfair
 
we readily abandon solace
and instead,

paralyze our thoughts
on fractured expectations and fear

captivated by our own darkness

we wade further..


we 

must 

admit

to

that sweet seduction of sorrow

we seek


as we fixate
 
on savoring pleasure

in the sadness

lingering there


we fixate on the madness

we fixate on the pain

It’s the sweet inhale of dissatisfaction

that we cannot abstain
