Eyes wide open examining chalky finger tips

Morality struggles to hide the sadness while

This opiate mirage dusts my haven once more

Reservations to see her smile are forgotten

Like ties swinging from the closet gallows

I can’t recall temptation not wearing its crown

Opportunities die in the stale water calm

As my soul waltzes into shame unable to turn

It took me a moment to understand, but this is really good. I especially like the beginning picture, from the mind to hands.

I can't recall tempatation not wearing its crown...... the pivotal line and the main statement for any addiction, and therein lies the endless struggle and sadness and the continual delay to life beginning,as always so much respect for a very talented writer.

Wow great write again Duff,I know this feeling all to well once you've been there temptation's always round the corner('I can’t recall temptation not wearing its crown' brilliant line) and then there's the shame that comes with it.

Really enjoy reading your work it's always a challenge,I mean that in a good way,because you can pack so much depth into just one short line and it always makes me think.

Mat.

Such a mature and accomplished write
it's not the flawlessness which strikes me
so much as the beauty of your composition
in these lines are wisdom beyond your years
truly compelling, and nothing short of awesome

In addiction temptation really is the ruler of us, and does indeed wear a crown.

I really enjoyed the lines "Reservations to see her smile are forgotten
Like ties swinging from the closet gallows"

Your writing always makes me think. Such a sad poem.
