Dependence on Discomfort

This is important to me.

Water drips from your mouth

As I thirst for euphoria.

The night falls darker

Under ecstasy and perfume.

Dusk carries away the high

into dusty gloom.

Rivers run wider and

lovers grow farther.

And the deliverance through

the Nile was a trivial departure.

But Darling, you weep so lovely

I get fits of gratification.

Until withdrawal hits and 

brings life to your abstraction.

I'm left addicted to the stream

of your abundance.

Wilted from the ultimate overdose

of vengeance.

Great piece Cat! The following made me really think for a while. ;)

"But Darling, you weep so lovely
I get fits of gratification.
Until withdrawal hits and
brings life to your abstraction."

Amazing poem Cat. Very full of meaning. My favorite line was "Rivers run wider and lovers grow father." Painful truths. Thanks for sharing.
