Best Addicted Poems

you course in my veins with prurience, wild
          immersing my marrow in urge, recompiled
               teceptors abducted the instant you smiled

You are my disease,
And my only remedy,
Addicted to you.

Heroin lies the irony — 
Segregated babies are weaned on
milk-of-the-poppy
doctrine of Equality

Emancipated notion on the nod:
A false sense of freedom
is taught in every syringe-scattered schoolyard

Children of the cold, concrete jungle  cry hard ...
opiate tears of injected fentanyl medium
Misled by the wavy cattle prod

Ghetto by-products...

An art, be it acquired or simply hereditary,
Putting vivid thoughts into exquisite words,
Magician's tricky stick, poet's addiction is poetry,
Cultivated experiences of heartfelt sweet weirds,
Music of life, unsung songs, skill of warriors' swords !

Coffee drinkers everywhere
Will know just what I mean
When I describe my symptoms
If I don’t get my caffeine.

On those rare times I skip my brew
For reasons I can’t fight,
A headache gathers kindling,
Just waiting to ignite.

With stubbornness and fortitude,
It builds a towering pyre;
And when the pounding’s at...

Black beard
Was feared. 

Kim Jong
Heads wrong. 

Home grown
Trump clone. 

Fat boy
Food joy. 

Sun baked
Nose caked. 

Fresh bread
Well fed. 

Aged scotch
Top notch.

Amtrak
Rail track.

Choc ice 
Tastes nice. 

War room
More gloom. 

Stay cool
In pool. 

Jail spell
Sheer hell. 

Dark nights
Street lights.

Fab four 
No more. 

Flatline
Bad sign.

I wake, work, eat, sleep, and dream you.
This emotional journey before us -
almost too much to bear sometimes.
Yet, every time I hear the ringing of the phone,
or see your name pop up online, 
I know that I am addicted to you.
But it is far more...

When you meet that someone, you know in an instant
It's the one you've been waiting for
Not a bit of hesitation, you can call it intuition
You've been waiting a lifetime or more

They're saying all the things you've been longing to hear
Since the day you discovered love
Those...

~Tonight A Free Ride ~

Tonight my thoughts are running towards 
my healing ocean, becoming the place 
where voluntarily I am convinced to watch 
the thousands of stars in the sky, illuminating 
my shore on arrival, to share my lively routine 
visits with this one whale...

Space is not clear, but it is deep.
It’s secrets, it will always keep.
On cloudless nights, great beauty’s seen; 
beneath the moon’s long, radiant beams.

The stars, they always, greet with a wink;
You will miss them, if you blink 
and telescopes aimed, will provide a show; 
the...

The Tal-Dareem are fighting-mad;
They've realized they've just been had.
Expect soon Zealots and Stalkers,
Immortals and those "cliff walkers".
Zerg Hydralisks are assembling just out of range,
Supported by Roaches, Infestors, Banelings,…
The Mutalisks are hovering beyond our turrets,
Brutalisks are moving—it’s looking quite desperate.
What matter's most: who'll be standing last,
So...

Addicted...
Betrayed by my excess
Caught and restricted
Deniably distressed
Ever since that Thursday
Friday came too soon
Guilty in the worst way
Hung out under pains moon
Insinuating my recovery
Joking, laughing, weeping
Karen made a discovery
Laura left not sleeping
Made me a warm bath
Narcotics were my death
Owning a broken...

In his youth, he loved to drink beer
As the years passed, he discovered liquor
He drank and drank, without any fear
Even when he had to talk to the bailer

His family tried their best to stop his drinking
Leaving him alone and without his relations
Hoping there would be...

I've been trying to fill this hole deep inside my chest.
I promised I plead but you still left like all the rest.
So here I sit once again I’m all alone.
You won't even send a text to my phone.
This is where I fail to stay strong.
This...

24 Hours


My observations are my own,
   They are a product of my realm.
I see good people reveal humanity 
I feel the desperation of an innocent man
I acknowledge the appreciation of my gift
I determine narration to be lies
I witness the love between mother and...
