Poem: Addiction- Raeez Jacobs

I'm so addicted to you

And I don't know why

I'm so stuck on you

The things you do

And the way you act

When you get shy and embarrassed 

Or when you say things

That make my world pause

And my muscles tighten in my skin

I'm addicted to what you mean

How you come between my consonants and my vowels

And reshape me to perfection

I'm addicted to the way you answer the night 

And converse with themorning 

Speaking wars from savage to abolished

You stop the demons in their tracks

And guard me from the things

That make my mind run amock in a mental frenzy

I'm addicted to the way you drive me crazy

Weakening my vogue and sending my soul off 

attached to the wings of the wind

Feeling akin with the atmosphere

I'm addicted to your touch and your history

To the way every moment with you

Is a lesson by which my heart

Is made to beat in the shade of your heart

I'm addicted to the way you

Insinuate omnipotence

That power by 

which

 i'm drawn 

Eternally to every 

place 

you adorn.
