A Poem of Addiction

by Wednesday, May 9th, 2012.

I am addicted to jade dust                   sun dust and moon dust

also crusty flaky pie crust.

I am addicted to the love of goosefishes*                                                                                                                                 and of course, magical wishes                                                                                                                                                 and those porcelain little dishes.

I am addicted to good stories

where I can forget all my worries                                                                                                                                                      and interesting history mysteries.

 

I am addicted to good daggers                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         friendly to apple cider                                 and chocolates, sweet and bitter.

I am addicted to waterfalls                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          trilling, sweet, birdcalls                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  and the golden leaves of fall.

I am addicted to  innocence                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     beautiful things’ brilliance                              and  intoxicating remembrance.

And of course, beautiful, glorious, life.

* Goosefish: Fishes that live in the deep sea. The female have a blue light that attracts the male, and when, under the deep, wide, sea,they finally find each other, the male would be in a near-death situation, too weak to live on its own. The female would swallow the male, and the male would live off  the female, and the two fishes would stay together, for the rest of their lives. As someone from BAM said, the love of goosefishes exactly describes human marriage.
