                                          Addicted
I dream of sand dunes,
Grains of beige pouring through the empty land,
Fiery ringlets of solitude and freedom.
Your fingers slide along the cheekbone
I can make out the scent of the sea
And the rocks melt into the sun
From what I can see beyond the shoreline.
A rippling stream of conscious reflection.
Your breath is heavy and hesitant against the eyelids
I ponder of faint rainbows,
A dark boat in an empty lake,
The sweet almond flowers in my hair.
Utter ennui outside where we are this moment,
The tender embrace of time.
Our knees are pressing now
I smile at the thought of last Christmas.
Breathing the hazelnut and wine of the Seine,
I can hear Edith crooning seductive melodies from above.
Je vois la vie en rose you whisper.
I fear the weak and undefined melody of your lips,
The fettered and careless kisses,
Murmurings of an incomprehensible language,
Synchronization is lost,
Forever hidden beneath fleeting glances.
Your soft lips graze across my own
The vision has dissolved
And the image becomes clear.
I am simply addicted to you

Written for :iconwriteaway:'s contest The prompt is: Addiction.

Often, people associate "addiction" with negative thoughts. I mean, obsession can't possibly be good, can it? But that's where I disagree. I think you can be addicted to love and the one you love and it doesn't have to be a bad thing. This poem is about missing someone dearly. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. This person finds herself falling into a deep addiction with capturing memories of their true love. I guess.

And I was listening to Edith Piaf while writing it...which explains the part about "Je vois la vie en rose"

I like the way you wrote the poem. It's really sweet, and in my current RemusxSirius mode, I can completely imagine that (I should stop thinking that way, you know?). Anyway, the part with the fettered kisses is absolutely lovely. It's really sweet. I want to hug it tightly because I think that warmth will radiate from it, you know? It's beautiful.

Would you believe me if I told you I was once a hero? Would you listen to the story of my downfall if you did? And if you didn't, would you ridicule me like all the others 'til I was nothing more than a shadow in passing like all the others you've hurt?
Aw thank you darling. How very sweet of you. I too am in the RemusxSirius mode. They were partly the inspiration for this. You don't need to stop thinking that way. I think Mr P once said that he wanted to hug this particular physics problem because it was very beautiful. So yeah...I miss Pote.

I keep wanting to email mr. P...but then I don't have anything to say to him so I don't. Yeah, I miss him too! He showed us this funny calculus problem where they guy doesn't finish the problem, 'cause it's so long, and ends up hanging himself. Well he draws a picture of hanging himself.
