Sweet Surrender

A sweet grain Softly tasted upon my life Turned over in my body To enhance, increase, its longevity Beginning to dissolve Wishing it’d stay Slowly gone A small taste lingers Moments pass The memory of deliciousness escapes A craving formulates A need, a want, an essential This time it’s different One grain is not enough A more fulfilling amount is needed To sate my hunger An addiction forms Repeated actions and results Until the resource disappears In the end rehabilitation Relapse shifts life The bliss outweighs consequences Its flavor engulfs me Unable to escape this love
