seeker's addiction

there is a point. . .

you cannot see it

not just yet

until you reach it. . .

if you can,

make it so far

where you cannot turn back

this place exists
inside of us

every single one of us

when pushed

to rage

or euphoria

they are both of them,
when you come accross them

irresistible. . .

when you cannot turn back

you are trapped

in them

and you will become one

or the other

inevitably

That is a nice happy photo and I am assuming that is you. Seeker:s addiction I am taking to be about substance misuse or use, whatever. I think we would all like to reach a state of euphoria, that overwhelming feeling of being at peace with the world and everything in it. I've certainly never achieved that, or being in a complete state of rage. The euphoria sounds great, the rage I would rather give a miss. I'd prefer the euphoria though a natural state. The fear of going beyond the point iof return has always kept me away from drugs. I fear them. Your lines always promote much thinking.

The picture is of Toby Stephens, who I have great affection for... (i'm slightly younger and prettier; even though he is the son of the Dame Maggie Smith). This wasn't really about chemical addiction but your review kinda makes my original meaning seem less appropriate now that I think about it. Well done... jerk. Your review stole my poem and repurposed it. Ha... I love that.

I love Dame Maggie. Had no idea that is her son. I am sure you are slightly younger and prettier, you have always been honest. My responses are honest too. I write what your words make me feel. They may occasionally hit the bull's eye at other times will be a poor shot of what you intended.

I was being honest about being younger than Mr Toby Stephens, but not prettier. That fella has some good genes... even at age 50-whatever.

It really doesn't matter if you get the meaning of bullshit if you can make legitimate sense of it on your own. Finding your own meaning that's meaningful regardless of my intention is truly more of a compliment than just repeating back to me what I already said. If you weren't so articulate and more of an impatient a*****e I think I'd be just like you.

I love Maggie Smith too.... she doesn't do bad work.

She's a national treasure. A great actress:)

There is a limited series that ended a couple years ago called "Black Sails" that her son headlined. It's basically a prequel to the book "Treasure Island". The first season, eh, it's only okay but the rest is highly underrated television. Maggie's kid is one highly underrated actor, I promise you that. It's not for the faint of heart, it does get a little messy, but, it's well worth your time if you don't mind that sort of thing. The video I attached underneath this poem is actually a collection of clips from that show.

Thanks. Would like to see what his acting is like.

Toby's pretty good, almost as good as him mum. Far better in some ways, but far far worse in others. He takes after his father more than his mother. Maggie's the stud in that family. I do like how he hid the fact that he's the son of one of the greatest actresses of all time on stage or screen (even though taking the name of his father, Sir Robert Stephens, isn't exactly slumming it... but not a lot of people follow pure stage legends these days and I think he died in the late 1990's to boot... everyone has to try a bit harder to remember his pops). I think I might of gone on a little too long about that family at this point... eh, what can I say? I love a good actor/actress... it's like poetry with the body when done right.
