I went hard on, and harder off the court
With each use, my end drew near
All these new beginnings I had to abort

From Fall River to BC
Then to Fresno and Denver
And even Bolognia Italy
I could not quit, never

It was never about the next level
Just this habit I couldn't kick
I always came unraveled
Every time I got sick

I found it everywhere
In bus and train stations
It's not that I did not care
What had me was temptation

So there I stood at the Potsink
And my family all at home
All I could do was think
That I was not alone

These dishes
They were me, and I was them
And our cleaner, all the sponges
The beginning of the end-amen

There is nothing in this Potsink
But suds and suds of soap
There is nothing in this Potsink
And it is full of hope [comments] => 1 [counter] => 110 [topic] => 66 [informant] => Beyfoxman5 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => drugabuse )

The Potsink

There is nothing in this Potsink

Very sad and the last stanza is somewhat ambiguous to me. Not a bad thing. Liked this very much and thank you for posting. Tim

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
