i obsess about you
as i do about poetry
with the same fervor
that i search for each word
and try out each line
i search for the clues
to your psyche, your mind
studying the lines
of your spirit in rhyme
how divine!
some say it's a sickness
obsession is obscene
why are they so mean?
just because they are bland
thoughts never hit the grand
neutrality numbed
they haven't succumed
to that passionate insanity
Wuthering Heights idolatry
that's how it is with me
obsessed
every fiber
every fragment of a thought
whether I like it or not
has a part of you
running right through
thrilling every atom in me
can't you see?
two things unravel me
you and poetry
poetry and you
this much is true
I obsess and undress
caress and confess
express my neuroticness
it's you...you
intense to the core
there is nothing but more
more, more, more
obsession in store
be what I adore
say you'll be
my obsession galore
sanity is overrated
