Be Exorcised- An Experiment

You’re not good for me You’ve just got to go You’ve brought me nothing.... Nothing but sorrow! You’ve sapped all my strength You’ve tortured my heart You’ve crushed my spirit You MUST now depart! You’ve splintered my wings You’ve wrung my soul dry You’ve fed my mind’s beasts You’ve made your girl cry I’ve tried those potions I’ve tried the fake priests I’ve followed the rules I’ve had sacred feasts What else can I do? What chant can I pray? To exorcise you There just seems no way! You’ve made your own home So deep in my head I’m obsessed by you Tormented in bed Get out! Please, Get Out! For I must go on! Be exorcised NOW! For my sake...be gone! When I am all clean With no demon trace Then.... Posses me once more With your angel face! Eileen Manassian Ghali

Eileen... You want me to call mom for some exorcism?? She is expert! But I warn you... he may never return ;-)..... Back to you poem: this is a mystical poem... With its enigmatic subject, hidden rituals, and morbid atmosphere, the poem took me into medieval ages!!! This must go to my favourites for sure!!

WOW! To know that it goes to your favorites proves my point! I posted this when I first got on the Soup. I got NO comments. Also...only 40 views. Has my poetry changed, or is it the fact that people know me better now and so they take a chance on reading! You have proven my point! This was a bit on the weird side, but I enjoyed writing it. :)

It seems you can't have one without the other... so much drama... what a contrast! No neutrality for you... that's for sure ;)

Timothy...you know me so well! Extremes! Read my Bipolar Musings if you get a chance...or The Pendulum of Life! Oh...my tortured soul! ;) Maybe instead of Betty Boop I should be called the Drama Queen! Dear Me!

This is good, I like the duality of the images.

Thanks, Richard. The concept being she's possessed by him...longing to be free, but in the end she realizes that he can't be exorcised because he's her angel love. It is a bit strange, I admit...but glad you like it.
