Georgia Kereopa Poet Rhyme

Spirit Delirium - Ice

I am the mind disturbed that thinks it’s well
euphoria surfs, dysphoric swells
perfect storm before the cresting wave
felled the confidence of the brave

I am the liar that catfished hope
Stole from a random heart that couldn’t cope
Love leaps, faith jumps, joy follows
Suicide upon the maddened rocks below

I am all the tears that fell
Abide in the hidden depths of sorrows well
I am the fire that burns up all your dreams
Dying light of fallen stars and moonbeams

Gina Young July 3, 2019 at 10:45 AM I really enjoyed your word choices... and as a former addict I understand where this is coming from. Georgia Kereopa July 5, 2019 at 3:51 AM thank you for your response and always wonderful to hear of good news of recovery. I'm working (pathetically) on my sugar addiction.
