Consumption has taken over A constant thought that fills the mind Lustful pleasure that's been missing from this life for too long of time Two souls that need each other make this journey worth the time Separated by circumstance yet together in thoughts of the mind Short times spent together making the most of minutes passed Loving touches for each other Yearning for the time to last Smiling eyes closed in passion Moistened lips breeding heat Understanding true compassion Forbidden fruit that taste so sweet Longing for more time together Thoughts of what could be Realizing the reality Neither soul is truly free

they can be very painful but bittersweet addictions, can't they? Well said.
Thomas, everytime I read your poetry, I'm amazed that I can like a rhymed poem. Your lines and stanzas read so smoothly, that I forget about the rhyme. The art is in the message and you do it very well.
