~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.

Sweet misery... thorn & roses...poison/antidote... dark nectar...

Amazing how you bring these conflicting images together so profoundly, creating meanings that make the reader say "yes, it is exactly like that..." To say that you have a way with words is quite an understatement, Frieda... wonderful write.

An intriguing description that a lot of people can surely identify in their hearts...Rose

Unfortunately, that's probably true, thanks Rose...

A wonderfully crafted piece of ink. I think it does the music more justice than the music itself! It's flows smoothly into the dark regions of emotions and thought. It shines with crystal clear imagery that lingers in the body and soul after the last word is spoken.

Great Ink! Much enjoyed!
