A journey through addiction. - 18th November 2010.


Vapid shadow.

To abrade a splinter into vapid shadows,
Advance without bedlam today.
A number of mortals who will reckon,
Devour, but have their say.

Incessant streams of perilous liquid,
Appoint ahead of mankind.
Safe to say that to be addicted
Is to fortify your mind.

From the surface to great depth you have spoken while at the same time providing a shield only the third eye can see. What a world you've seen with pen and pad! Great poem and I had to ponder a moment until I was able to drift ashore. One well written work of art. Powerful!
