Addiction Poem by David DeSantis

Wow...powerful analysis going on here - thought this stanza was especially good: 'Lost in the torments of creative restlessness, And the vagrancies of vanity, Are the misgivings of addiction.' You have a style that is all your own and what bleeds from the page here is an open, honest expression of addiction 'upon an afflicted soul'. Your introspection is thought-provoking, memorable and original. j xx

Addiction, As it continues its course, Is the near detachment of my soul....i like this new definition of addiction. The theme is a real challenge. Bravo to you.

Real hard issue handled really well thanks Nik

A very deep and meaningful write David, addiction is indeed a curse, well penned my friend, 10 for this Lynda xx

'Bleeding mind, ' 'overanalysed dreams' are strong images that offer a glimpse in the world of addicts. A simple and strong poem.

An insightful piece on the devastating effects of drug addiction, well conceived and nicely crafted with conviction. A beautiful creation. Thanks for sharing David.

Great read David! Powerful write, i agree with Triin addiction is like a fence! *10*! ! Best regards, Friend Thad

And I am trapped, Left only with a bleeding mind, Powered by over analyzed dreams and a broken engine it's just perfect. such a painful theme...so true i think it's true what i once heard: addiction's like a fence that keeps away your second chance

beautiful verses and yet the thruthness has never been told as this......drugs create hallucination and fake dreams...........eating your flesh slow and steady.

so vibrant and vivid, great poem david
