Addiction Damon E Johnson

This steamy collection of prose, by poet, Damon E. Johnson, ignites the desires of the flesh, while speaking to a more poignant subject. The poet has bravely addressed the subject of love/sex addictions with the inevitable addiction to the pain of loss; which spurs one on to the next high of a new love. It has been carefully constructed with a flow that tells the story of repeated lust, highs, disappointments, and then moving on to the next relationship. There is a tangible sadness one can feel while reading the poems that the author longs to be loved unconditionally, that the magic of new love is sustainable and everlasting. There is also an awareness that sex can be used as a placebo for emotional connection, until at last, even that leaves him empty."I foolishly surrendered my heart, eager to answer love's call, but what I thought was love, wasn't really love at all." (Unrequited) For those searching for the 'real deal, ' having experienced relationships that fell short in the end, you will feel what the author has expressed and understand his underlying, undeniable need to be loved in an honest, open and emotion filled way. A cleverly constructed book with a powerful message. Brenda-Lee Ranta, author of A Soul Passenger
