Opiate of Delusion

Opiate of delusion… Tempted by the flesh again, Insanity, on mind descends, Fools are made, where love transcends, Opiate of delusion, Give your heart, your very soul, Estatic mindset, does take hold, Another’s heart, yet you control, Opiate of illusion… Don Johnson

Well put, well done..) well Don...! old mate.. iv'e enjoyed your lines, in prose and rhyme the thoughts espoused, and reflections that shine, no doubt sprung from waves of air..) that conceal the wet as they hover "just there" in may days of torrid baked flare, i wish you well in all your fare, and just to say good to have met, in this bowl of soup on the internet..!

Oh yes dear Don I do agree love unto itself is an opiate, one just has to be grown up enought to know when it is delusion or plain unquestionable truth!

Smile ˜ I wish I could share my deeper more complete thoughts about this verse but that would take much too long and probably become extremely intense so I shall just say, kudos, my Man ;-) ˜ John!:) ˜
