In the half light and shadows
you are darkness and light
inviting me to touch
courting addiction.

Me, who would limit myself to a half bottle of wine
and only ever pretended
to take it down.

One touch and I'm hitting the mainline
you kiss me and I'm skied.

Suddenly I know all about dependency.

The body rush subsides
already I anticipate the craving.

I love the line, "you kiss me and I'm skied", the word "skied" says so much.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.
