Best Addict Poems

I just can't believe it
I'm addicted to soup
I can't put the spoon down
I continue to scoop

So many flavours
I can't get enough
It's like there's heroin
They put in this stuff

Sure I can quit
Any time I want
But wait a minute
Look at that font

A few more minutes
Perhaps an hour...

This very morning when I awoke, I thought someone had played a joke. I checked the pot, it was bone dry. I checked the pantry and started to cry - no coffee!

So, I got dressed for work...real slow. I had no drive, no pep, no...

I am an addict with a pen
I have a trouble in the past
Past relationships
Past brokenness
Brokenness inspires me
Brokenness motivates
Motivates my writing
Motivates my actions
Actions speak louder than words
Actions are most important
Important thoughts
Important words
Words are only spoken from a human mouth
Words are only letters on a piece of...

I am a nature addict
and I see people laugh at it...
 
When I ponder about the future,
or gotta handle the torture,
I look deep into nature
and she is my wound's suture
 
When I encounter persistent failures,
and when my heart mourns like a wailer,
I lean on the...

Addiction is your problem,
          I say to you,
                Never take that toll,
      I see you,
Popping them...

Scarecrow Addict
           

Gritted and dusty
Powered by flack jacket eyes
Bootsteps through grey puddles
Flotilla of cigarette butts
Trash kicked aside
In a desert of litter
Seeking the soulless of death
Chattering on split lips
The grimy irk of air
Festoons the rink and...

Do you really think,
We did the best we could?
How many time did we get high?
Before doing what we should.
Many times we chose to be,
Smoking dope instead.
While someone else fed our kids,
And tucked them into bed.
But its hard to be an addict.
And its hard just being...

A cup to mask the Emptiness:
Escaping from my head
Chained by indifference--
My ears concede to their demons

This desire is all-consuming:
Enveloping my defenseless thoughts
Indulged in the silence:
Deception is my biggest fan

My brain gets burned, like cigarettes--
At a party, with Apathy and all our friends
I drift, through feebly-willed-thoughts
Re-opening...

Gave Shark catnip and he turned into a hippie
Took me straight back to the seventies
Put on his fur vest and fringed headband
Made the peace sign with his paws
Became morbidly mellow
Docile, chilled, rolled onto his back
Soaked up the sun with his tongue hanging out
A happy addict...

This is my drug
Rushing into me
Leaving me emotionless
...Just as I wanted

Tears drop
But I feel no pain
Moments pass
I start to numb
...It's exactly as I wanted

This is my drink
At the end of the day
I drink to forget
But I still remember...
I can't forget

I'm beat
Emotionally, I'm drained
I tell myself...

I see you speaking, 
your words misleading
I watch you closer 
but hold you further.

Your double meaning and secret keeping,
my heart is aching, my soul is reaching.
It calls out to you, why don't you hear me?
They echo into, your arms deceiving.
I'll disconnect now, for a moment...

I smoked a pack of Marlboros 
Every day, left butts smoldering
In dirty, smelly ashtrays
The nicotine addiction compelled 
Me to quit… yet, I did not
I smoked until there was only
Short, spasmic breaths
Left in my black lungs
And oxygen had to be taken aside
So I could light up

I...

In the shadows of my mind
There is a memory of you, laughing
Despite the pain that hung like a curtain
Shading the windows of your heart,
Stopping the light who glistened
Just beyond your feelings,
Where doubt told you to disregard
The gentle touch of its shafts,
Promising energies that would silence
All...

If you're a celebrity
For medications come to me
I have them all, come see, come see
I'm the devil in disguise

I sign prescriptions by the score
If you run out, I'll give you more
I'll bring your pills right to your door
I'm the devil in disguise

Dr. Robert, Feelgood too
Names...
