~Sweet Misery

Music prompt

Sweet misery~

you tempt me, nothing lasts forever,

consumed by the thorn of your roses

breathing in the essence of toxicity

your poison was my antidote 

flipped me over in my time of need

was such sweet misery to be consumed

i breathe you in to get the full effect 

dizzy with excitement, reeling inside

yet, I know it'll be my demise

i drank you in like a darkly nectar elixir

there is no cure for lusty resolutions

i die a thousand deaths...

This poem makes me think about how some people are drawn to broken things, and want to help fix them. Those same people are often broken themselves and prefer to help others with their problems rather than deal with their own. Sometimes though, in the fixing of others, we succeed in helping them but get left behind and further hurt ourselves. Sad but true, the glutton for punishment that some of us are. There are some strong lines in this one Frieda and it is thought provoking because of it. Well done.

Wow spot on Astro, have you been reading my diary? Thanks so much for this insightful review my friend.

[Astro]

You're most welcome, no diaries here, just a piercing eye in the night.(not stalker creepy like) ;)

[icelandicblue]

Life is filled with paradoxes and you illustrate that beautifully here. As always your imagery is vivid and intense. The music is a perfect touch.

[Frieda P]

Thanks for your sweet review blue, muchly appreciated.

I've never tasted heaven without a little hell to pay.
It is said nothing lasts forever so when we find something really good decide if the heartache will be worth the bliss.

[Frieda P]

.... something about you makes it right to give it one more try. Thanks Dale! Always a song in your heart.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

You are welcome... I may be off key but will never stop singing.

[Rhiti Bose]

As always beautiful poetry.

i drank you in like a darkly nectar elixir
there is no cure for lusty resolutions
i die a thousand deaths...

wow, just wow.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Rhiti, two wow's....oh wow! ;-)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, we can be so easily tempted by chemistry...but the history later is of an early leaving and a broken heart.

[Frieda P]

The price we pay for fire, thanks jacob....

The font, the picture, the song, everything about this piece made goosebumps goes up my arm. I can relate to this well. Everything bittersweet about someone. Their love is poison that you will keep taking. I absolutely loved this! J'adore! -Ian Faraway

[Frieda P]

Wow Ian, thanks so much, that really made my night, and French too...oooh lala!! My son's name is Ian too by the way.....

[Ian Faraway]

Not my real name, mind you. It's just a pen name. It's a writer's name... or more so than my actual name. And don't thank me for making your night, this was a really good poem and the way you presented simply reinforced it. Many writers fail to remember that presentation is just as important. And the French thing is from years of French class.

[Frieda P]

I still love the name, good choice, and you're too kind my new friend. ;-)

[Ian Faraway]

Only honest, my well penned artist friend.

[Angel]

Ouch. This piece goes so well with the music that it is almost as if the music had been written to complement the poetry, rather than the other way around. Masterfully done...this is surely one of your best.
And that is high praise indeed!!

[Frieda P]

Wooo Angel, I don't pay you enough hon! Thanks so much, you truly humble me my friend.

[Angel]

I'll expect your check deposited in my account in the morning...

[Frieda P]

Haha don't worry, I gave you a bonus ;-)

[Angel]

LOL, thank you, Frieda...I can use a bonus ;-D

[Dr. Wood ?]

There you go again....That dictionary I sent you for Christmas....You weren't supposed to EAT it

Brilliant as always Frieda....Darkness and light...blended with no visible join

[Frieda P]

Aw thanks doc, muchly appreciated always.

[Pryde Foltz]

The cure is the poison I'm afraid. But better lusty than dusty. Ouch, that hurt even me.

[Frieda P]

Ha exactly what I was afraid of, thanks Pryde!

[Dana Alsamsam]

you have a great skill for creating an atmosphere or certain feeling with your command of language. this one was of ecstasy, pain and deceit. the imagery in here was great!

[Frieda P]

Wow Dana, thanks so much, that's probably the best compliment a poet could ever get....muchly appreciated!

[Marie]

Oh yes. Absolutely. It's worth a thousand thousand deaths...

[Frieda P]

Ha....thanks Marie!
