Devil drives long black limonene
With broken rocks ground to dust

Teeth marks in leather pale your skin
One day you may choke on a plastic straw

Devil flicks twenties; as the black window shuts

Devil drives your addiction
He has the means to your end

Bubble up your brew on a silver spoon
He holds a candle to you

As your needle searches eventual connection
Each vein becomes evanescent

It drives you to assuage
The Devil smiles

Hidden eyes are shades of black
But he know you will be coming back

First time I commented on your work and I love you work, don't know why I didn't post before. As your needle searches eventual connection Each vein becomes evanescent So emotive and revealing, damn you got talent. Keep up the good work.

What is a limonene? The net tells me some sort of hydrocarbon...am a bit confused. Imagery is superb in the rest of the poem, J x

Funny, my brain read limousine. I could have got the whole thing wrong!

limousine you are so right sarah that fits better...and i agree it rolls better... but limonene is used as a solvent, wetting agent, and dispersing agent and in the manufacture of resins. is a kind of connection with drugs......long and black a bit deep me thinks thank you for your feedback
