Relapse

the urge

That cold liquid runs down my throat…

My insides explode with delight,

My throat burns, but it feels good.

The taste makes my mouth water,

The smell burns my nostrils.

One beer,

So quickly done.

My eyes slightly closed,

My body feels funny.

A liquid storm runs inside,

A liquid storm soothes me.

The sensation so good,

My knees wobble, oh so great.

The rush of it makes me feel faint.

addiction stinks, this is quite the emotional read.

Thank you for your review

when a person is addicted to anything, they will be feeling this way. there isn't anything wrong in what they're doing, perhaps a tiny bit, but nothing a sip or drag won't cure. i like the way you describe the experience of having a beer and how good it feels. sounds like it's coming from an enabler.

Ah, so true. To sooth the ache and need of addiction, its like heaven sent relief. A very powerful poem indeed. I enjoyed this poem greatly!!

[Coyote Poetry]

I understand this poem. I drank for 36 years hard. I needed the feeling of separation from my life. I like the way you described the sensation of becoming more free in thoughts and body. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

Well I can relate to that sometimes this life needs a refresher and a cold beer can do that

[Norma M Sutton]

Thanks for reminding me of the reasons I don't drink, beer or otherwise . . .
