No Stopping

A collaboration poem written with justjenn_2u with addiction as the topic.

When the itch starts going

And the craving's growing

There's no showing of reason

Thus my mind enacts treason.

I have oats for sowing,

My intentions growing.

Addiction hasn't a season;

You ask when I will be done.

Truth of the matter,

The crave keeps me going:

The utter satisfaction

Breeds a mental reaction.

I am the batter,

Hitting hard, no slowing.

I need a distraction,

Body in soul contraction,

And when that burning crave

Is brought to its fruition

My entire body sighs

With mental relaxation.

I walk away, hands wave

I carry satisfaction.

Don’t dare buy into my lies;

Addiction, no cessation.

Reviews

[SquinklaPsyOps]

Very well crafted, it has room for several metaphors and at the same time it seems the writer molded towards a direction.

Thanks, but justjenn_2u had a lot to do with this poem being awesome.

Zippy zipper zeros zestfully zellious

I think this is art. Two poets come together and merge. Love you.
