Head phones blasting ready to uncage the beast within

Gripping the bar with all my might

Sweat dripping from my forehead anticipating a fight

One, two, three, four and then five.

Blood is pumping, muscles burning feeling alive

Six, seven, eight, nine and ten.

Body aches as I reposition ready to start again.

1 set, 2 sets, 3 sets then four

Thinking there are not enough hours in the day I want to do more.

The gym is my drug, my drink, my sin.

Heart racing, sweat dripping, blood pumping under my skin.

What a workout! I'm exhausted!
I could hear the dumbbells and feel the heat..you described it so well.
My favorite line is " The gym is my drug, my drink, my sin."

sort of stoic like, the bead of sweat off the brow is paradise or the home of the sinewy connection between the body and mind.
faster faster faster in a rhythm each fiber moving in unison and then music from the ipod or whatever one listens to.
dear sweat, the tightening of the body skin along with a natural elixir that brings life even to the palest of skin. changes ones attitude makes one stop and slow down enough to smell the roses in the midst of stress. Great Poem!
Thank you!
Peace!
