Addiction

Surgical hose pulled tight
Vein tempting poison’s delight
Eyes fading into the shadows
Ecstasy found in oblivion
Pain censored a mind grown numb
Crashing from the spell
Reality’s hell
Liberating anguish
Addiction’s darkness revealed
A living death
An endless cycle
Spiraling ever downward
Invisible to the world

© Michael R Wood 2002

Addictions come in all forms but none so sad than that found in a needle's seduction.

Fine piece...I agree...sad for those who stay in ignorance thinking they're the "cool" ones.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
