Opiate Words Poem by Matthew Holloway

Opiate words
I long for them
I hunger after that line
to become addicted
and read on hooked
intoxicated by a verse
high on a thought
created by well assigned letters
upon a well presented page
forever fitting
and yet, not quite
I want them to stand out
be noticed perhaps a little wrong
those provoking battle scared words
spitting, shouting out to me
and whoever comes across them
just to roll the page
inhale them all at once
addictive text
I wish it to consume me
