Adored

Holding Adored gently,
like a promise untold.
She lay in my arms
like perfumed tissue paper,
weightlessly.

My Adored, my life,
nothing but skin and bones.
Pictures of Auschwitz
survivors fill my head
looking down at her.

My Adored was free,
oh, she free to die?
The man who first shoved
the needles into her arms
is a monster.

He died quickly by my hand.
Such a shame. Adored
has been dying for months.
Heroin is a grinning,
soul-stealing destroyer.

"midnight magic" is adored by much too many and denies the soul of its freedom, a tragic situation ...



powerfully gripping poem, Jerry ...

So tragic....don't know anything at all about drugs, but my heart goes out to those in the strangling grip of addiction! Deeply moving write, my friend.

So many look for happiness in drugs, does not matter which one legal or illegal, they all take their toll. They ruin lives, break hearts, until the poor soul finally is destroyed.

Very compelling heart-wrenching write Jerry

Being a cashier I see this death walking through our doors a lot ........and all you can do is shake your head and hope you never fall into this trap.

Adored as double entendre as well as metaphor catapults these thoughts beyond the effect of their presence on the page.

If I combine this with your story "A Fairie Tale", I can feel your heart pain Jerry, this touches me deep.
Heroin as well as cocaine are real "grinning soul-stealing destroyers"
