      A ball of wire
      Tightly bound
      Lies burrowed in my brain
      Awaiting release.
      Like a spring
      Lodged deep in the gullet
      Needing to be un-sprung.
      Like a hungry wildcat
      Howling
      “Feed me,
      My hunger in insatiable,
      My thirst needs to be quenched”.

      “Come with me.
      Clasp me one more time
      To your throbbing bosom
      And together we will share
      Ecstasy
      Beyond your wildest dreams.
      I will woo and court you
      ‘Til you are stripped ,
      Drained of every urge and need and want.
      Cajoled, deceived
      Until I suck from you
      Sufficient succour for
      MY need.

      Then, only then
      Will I drop you
      Naked
      And move on.
      But you will hear the echo
      Of my lecherous laughter forever
      Resounding
      As you toss and turn,
      Hoping , half heartedly, to forget me
      Yet , waiting
      Always listening
      For my next call.

      I will not fail you.
      I will return.
      ALWAYS
      I am your Unfaithful Friend

      My name is ‘Gambling Urge’!”

      Just for today
      This week, this year
      I will have no urge
      I will have no fear
      I will have no chance
      To play the slot
      No dread that I will lose the lot
      Yet tonight my actions could have been just the same
      As recent Sunday night trip. when I came
      Home, using a detour, a different route
      Having planned a lie and “play it cute”
      A few stolen hours of hidden fun
      After dropping my son back to his honeybun
      An outing that had gradually become a habit
      One look at my purse and quickly grab it
      “See you later ” to hubby-
      To make things look normal
      A dash through traffic but not too informal
      In true CG form make a quick city drop
      Slide into a casino chair and flop
      No one need know
      Its only for fun…
      Until that purse empties and I’m out of mon…
      And the ATM tells me no more funds available
      Until I am left with nothing else sellable
      *************************
      That was last year though
      Things are different tonight-
      Different this week, ‘cos my mindset is right.
      I’ve no intention of losing another week’s pay
      I’ve done it too often
      I’ve done it so fast
      Despite the above poem I know it’s all past
      ******************************
      “Don’t get too cocky”
      Some people might say
      “Given the opportunity , you will find time to ‘play’.

      There are two things to stop me in 2019
      Things I know in the past kept me stay CLEAN
      I intend to apply them , come what may—
      “Don’t carry money and go back to GA.”
