It is the drug of which I feed a way of life fulfilling my need I breathe you in exhaling slowly while I savor the in between from this addiction I can't be weaned. I feel it coursing through my veins to be without it would cause me to be insane. I feel the slow burn the sudden rush the madness is calmed I hear the hush... I await the words that touch.. that moment of sigh your words, my addiction the ultimate high. {Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes five hundred twenty five thousand moments to dear five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes how do you measure - measure a year? In daylights-in sunsets in midnights-in cups of coffee in inches- in miles in laughter- in strife In five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes how do you measure the year in a life } {from Rent} |

I know this addiction all too well... If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |

Well, we are all hooked... Especially when we read "words" like these. You are on a roll right now, well done! |

Vivid. a bit scary though to be on such addiction. A poetry on the dark side of the society. Enjoyed |

I can shoot my veins full of things Yet never reach the high that words bring, But not all drugs are alike in action, Some sound dull while others sing, Yours sings with emotion. Sing to me as a caress of the cheek Gloom |
