Stopped Smoking

Stopped Smoking a Dream.
Just two hours have passed
I know, I know too early to state.
The smell of my friend of 40 is strong
I feel his presence in the air around.
I stopped not because my better half
chastised, my daughter beseeched.
It took the lazy staff of the building l reside to open my eyes.
Near the entrance was a smoking zone with an ashtray like a welcome mat.
This was the only place I smoked every cigarette of mine.
Glanced at the ashtray and quickly turned away.
It was brimming over, with effort solely mine

Revulsion set in and I took oath, yet again, 
never to be the fool,
yet again,
Just then the door bell rang, I jumped out of my armchair, the daydream took to wings.
I know there's still hope, for I have at least dreamed of a sight I had blocked for a long long time.
Stopped smoking but the dream continues.

Addiction

Haven't writing a word since dawn, and the pain is unbearable can't point out where it is, but sometimes in the stomach and at times in the chest, but now I think it is in my head. My hand, it is not steady and i can feel the tremors as I grasp the pen (I know I know - I mean the keyboard) And as I begin typing, I feel the pain ebbing, as words flow over every key. Addiction goes beyond addiction, I know: It is beyond cigarettes or being salve of Bacchus, you can get addicted to pain, of a different kind Hitting the gym or walking the mile again and again, till you are addicted after which it sets you free Or you could choose to get addicted by taking on someone else's pain, and be a helping hand for anyone who asks or doesn't. Take this on and make addiction look good on you, and chisel out a life divine.

Prayer

Prayer cannot mitigate your problem it can give you strength to face it and intuition to find a solution. Prayer is the only option when all else fails Prayer generates hope, hope pacifies a troubled mind. Calm seeps in and thinking becomes straight. Pain threshold is lifted, sorrow mitigated. Prayer may not be an option, it's a subtle command probably from somewhere deep down our subconscious mind. Prayer is a gift a buffer created by nature to help us take a fall and bounce back.
