Like A Drug

Like A Drug

A Poem by SSKaitlyn
"

It's intoxicating...

"

As sublime as it may seem,

It was only a dream.

Of candy colored summertime,

Behind the divine shrine of design.

Breathtaking in every way,

Nerve quaking, it’s quite risque.

You wish it’d stay,

You pray it doesn’t stray.

But it will,

And it does.

It’s just like a pill,

Delivering exquisite euphoria,

Until the mind goes into hysteria.

As addictive and vindictive as that can be,

You simply cannot flee.

There is no will to be free,

To escape the treasure of pleasure.

Just when you get to really enjoying it,

It’s gone in a flit.

Leaving you all alone,

And completely blown.

SSKaitlyn - One Moment it's there and you grab for it. Next moment, it's gone and you want it back. Sounds like my money, my time or my youth. Whoa! I definitely liked this SSK. Namyh

What the... I completely forgot that you mirror my writing style... (Or is it I who mirror you...) Literally had to triple-read this one... Friggin'... Your flow landscape and wordplay is as stellar as... Something in space... But wow... This is the best thing I have/probably will read for a good minute... Intoxicatingly sublime I'm blown and flyin' high but prayin' to never stray from the light, alone... As that would be risque... Hah... Really liked this... Really, really did... Masterfully penned...

They say writing is just writing, that it's not a real job. If someone asked me what I do, I'd tell them I write, rather than disclose my full-time job as a rep on the phone. I don't consider writing .. more..
