You're my Addiction

by Jeff Mason — Read all 207 poems by Jeff Mason

Happy Easter to those who celebrate!

Sunday, April 8, 2007

i kept in the shadows and lurked...
for the longest moment in time;

so afraid that, at last, i had lost
the true reason for all of my rhyme

then somehow you found me drifting out here
on the ledge of the darkest abyss

and you pulled me back from the edge of my fear
with just the mere hope of your kiss...

you're my addiction

And I just need to say
thank you for helping me breathe once again

For letting me know
your sweet breeze on my skin...
and for taking me in... from the cold

You don't have clue just how deep;
just how far you are... down within...
the true core of my soul

you're my addiction

the fact that erases
all the bad fiction

the thing that embraces
my one predilection

i think that by now... you finally know
you're the one thing that i... never want to let go...

the burn... for which i will constantly yearn...
the heat of the sun; that scorching affliction

my one place to run; my heart-pounding friction

i feel you; i taste you; i want you to know...

you are...

my addiction (and I'll never let you go)...

you're my addiction.

Really great one, Jeff...and I'm ROTFLMAO over Kate's reference to the sweet yummy stuff!
I think when things go South, we tend to hope an angel will come along and rescue us, hold out a hand and console us...making their presence in our lives of paramount importance, so much so that what we thought of as a moment of saving grace can easily become an intense addiction...a consuming or even one sided love. Could this be of song quality too? Me thinks it could...love the tang of "you're my addiction".

Awesome stuff, Jeff.

Love,

Taylor

.. not chocolate, I take it?? :)) Well, Jeff, think I'd come tied egg-shape with a pink bow round my middle if THIS is how you wanted to let me know I was appreciated. This rings clear as a bell and the integrity and sincerity in the voice is clarion. Reinforcing repetition circles around your convincing statements and the impact goes deep. The fresh poetic palette here is non-cloying, making it easy and refreshing to come back for more. Strong writing, thank you. Kate xx

"You're my Addiction" has a delightfully transcendant quality that allows one the favor of many interpretations. The poet expresses his thankfulness from the deeply flowing rivers of compassion in his heart. Beautifully written!

Light and Wisdom ...

First of all, thank YOU for reviewing my words.

I am so thankful I came to your site and read this poem of total abandonment for love's sake, Who brought you out of the darkness and into the Light. :) Beautiful celebration in powerful verse; well done!

love and passion and lust and codependence (an overused term) are all visualized here.
