Every Pleasure I Destroy

Honorable mention Oriental Poetry Contest

Every pleasure I destroy, why I cannot say,
I think I feel happiness, 'til it goes away,
Delicacies I consume, 'til so sick I cry,
Like gentle rain love descends, 'til I drink it dry.

Dedicated to the memory of Philip Seymour Hoffman.
