Nourishing Addiction

Addicted to your nurturing
I extend myself into your inner most depths, repeatedly
I discover your warmth, your tenderness
Your eagerness to devour me
To envelop me with your purity

I shudder
As I become coated with your ecstasy
The shimmering walls collapse upon me
And hold me… then release me
They mold themselves to my form again, and again

You feed upon me
As you feed me
Nourishing me with your essence
You will me to be gluttonous
I want
I desire
I need your seasoned flavor

I cannot withstand you
Can barely stand after you
For within you I am spent
Depleted like an airless balloon
Deflated, exhausted
Though replenished through overexertion

Unification
The oneness I shall not dismiss
Unable to disregard
You have become my addiction
And there is no rehabilitation
Except death… the little death

In a list

Please tell me what you think

    Whew, a little bit heartracing. I was afraid, as I read your work, that there might be a bitter ending instead of the fullfillment I found and the wonderful line "and there is no rehabilitation Except death . . . the little death." Wow. I thought this might be about real addiction and was pleasantly surprised. I just read your 'shameless' (bah) poem, and trust me, you are NOT the worst poet here. Far from . . .

    Very deep

    I did enjoy the way this came across, very short and precise to the point of this or any addiction that can grab us all!...very well formatted, it is a very deep piece of literature I found and I enjoyed the read.

    Thank you.

    Tony,

    this is an outstanding piece...

    Unification
    The oneness I shall not dismiss
    Unable to disregard
    You have become my addiction
    And there is no rehabilitation
    Except death… the little death

    I love this part

    Addiction can be hauntingly intense and yes...so can love. Your poetry made my heart race as being in love often does. I am a drug-addict in recovery for some years now, and the passion with which your muse spewed these words is exceptional!

    Glad I decided to stop by. I have enjoyed the read. Thank you for your compliment on my author page.


    Much Love & Respect ♥

    Renee

    This is wonderfully sensuous, love as an addiction! I think your word choices are just perfect, and the passion shines through clearly. Very great read!
