No Stopping

Collab with my favorite - John Stussy

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

[Barbara Walker]

Great poem! your words convey your intent beautifully! Addiction, we all seem to have our addiction to something. Even when you quit using the cravings never stop!

[Mandy Trouten]

Good rhythm and rhyme scheme. It seems to cover the nature of addiction pretty well.

[B-poet]

This is a profoundly distinctive piece here. Great work. I loved the poetic flow, deepth, and underlying theme thoroughout every well written stanza. :)

[John Stussy]

We write exceptionally well together.
