An Addiction

Contributed by Ruby2sdy on Sunday, 20th August 2006 @ 08:08:28 AM in AEST
Topic: drugabuse



That old friend who remembers my name,
Shoots through my veins, burning cocaine,
The sea spray’s a froth, paint it on thick,
Like the magician, thinking of the next trick,
The needles point, a silver star,
Caught in the web of sky,
No distance is ever too far,
Go on, give it a try,
Float on your sea of reason,
I’ll stick with ecstasy,
There really isn’t anything left,
In this bitter old world for me,
The reason for this addiction?
I suppose it is unknown,
But in this room of a thousand people;
I’m completely on my own.

Sorry to keep quoting you Rube but "The sea spray's froth, paint it on sick" is sublime genius. Such visual use of our beautiful language. Love it. x
PS Hope your bud is ok.

Oops I meant thick not sick! I guess you worked that out as it's your poem. All these typos-think I'm working too many hours...
