Miracle Drug

I’m addicted to you, my miracle drug.

Legal, yet lethal,

You cannot be bought, sold or hidden.

You’re a fire

Whose flames engulf anyone near enough to feel your simmer.

People slave for you,

thirst for you,

die for you.

Art without you is worthless.

Love without you is no love at all.

A life without you is meaningless.

You compel people to change the world,

Start a revolution,

Live out of the box.

You burn the box with your fever

Inviting everyone inside to run madly into your embrace.

Your hold is never tight enough;

I crave more more more.

Plunge me deeper into your oceans

Tempt

Ignite

Entice

Sweep me off my feet.

Force my mind to follow my heart.

What once was an end is only a start.

You defy the rules of orderly fashion,

Oh miracle drug of mine,

Oh PASSION

D****T, girl! This is fantastic. Oh passion is right...quite the exquisite drug, mine of choice is that with a side of creativity. I'll die happily of an overdose one day.

Keep it up...and post more over the break. I can't get enough.

I'm not an expert on poetry. In fact its my weakness in writing. So anything I say here you could probably take with a grain of salt. It's just how I view it and my opinion on it rather than any additions you could make.

What is this anyway? Free verse? Pretty much the only kind of poetry I know other than hiakus and abababababab poems.

I like the imagery actually. You have strong words for something that, I think, isn't even a real drug. I want to guess that it's passion, but I could be wrong. Throwing myself out there. Interesting that Passion should be the last line when this is a great description of passion itself.

All in all I consider it a good piece of poetry even for someone who knows (or cares) very little about it. Good job.
