The Saturday Symphony #23 (Addict)

Hi everyone, I welcome you all to the 23rd edition of The Saturday Symphony.
Back from the month of romance.
Or for some, the month where loneliness is felt most keenly.

Cheers to making it here,
On the threshold of a March of possibility.

I’m lost and agitated
Incomplete
My body pines
And my mind wines
What ritual will sate my needs
Comfort my discomfort
And Soothe
My Addiction

Addiction is widely seen and understood as negative,
But is there such a thing as a good addiction?
In this Symphony, we will try to explore this notion.

But first;

February’s five featured posts

The windswept moors and uncultivated lands of Brittany, have long been linked with the ghostly activity of the dead. However…

Just above the skyline and beyond the horizon,

there rests a wish I make during the twilight hours...

And her yellow fingers added one more quill to it…

PONDEROUS THOUGHT Prompt

ADDICT
We have all been addicted to something,

In some shape or form,
The synonyms for addiction range from dependency, to craving, to habit, to infatuation and compulsion.

This month of March, share a story about addiction at its worst,

And then counter it with a tale of a passion that has saved you or someone you know.

You’re more than welcome to use art, images, and any form of writing.

How did it come to this
My fingers trembling
My breath laboured
Asphyxiating with longing
Desperate for more
Withdrawn
From You
My Addiction

February’s Ponderous submissions

“FIRST KISS“

Under the covered bridge, a lover’s pathway.
Each youth thinking they are first to come this way...

Responsible responses by Jules

A kiss is a kiss
The healing of heart-wrung tears…

Though I’m not with him today, I’ll never forget…

Oh so far away! A gush of wind gently kissing my cheek
My go-to messenger…

Thank you all,
Lots of love.

Yes I’m not a robot.
Me after putting the finishing touches on the Symphony this morning.

Show me love
And I’ll show you devotion
Give me an escape
And I’ll hold on tighter
Be good or bad
My Passion or Bane
But be there
With me
My addiction!

Can’t wait to read your entries, and your shared thoughts on addiction.

Goofing around this morning, Noir version, lol.

Maybe a Passion is a good addiction,
Maybe ambition to some extent too.

Stay safe everyone,
Stay loving.
