I have you in my sights, my handsome prey each move you make, I know them all by heart the time's not right, and so I let you play but soon I'll bind you up, never to part Though you don't know it yet, you're mine to keep Mine to possess, mine to manipulate obsession fueled, my craving runs so deep Reality with dreams I'll consumate You'll come to love the confines of my arms enshrined within my walls is satin bliss At last, you'll notice all my hidden charms And taste the sweetness of forbidden kiss For now, you texts and calls, I'll read and hear each code and every password I will hack I'll lie in shadows, waiting till you're near and then you'll find yourself under attack Give in and then give up all else but me you have no need for others; hush your voice I will remove the blindfold; look and see Though captive now, you'll soon love me by choice Eileen Manassian Late for the stalker contest, but I was inspired

Definitely a most striking take on the 'stalker' theme, Eileen. Stalkers are usually convinced that eventually their prey will become totally theirs...." you'll soon love me by choice" is a superb ending! ~ Regards & Hugs my dear friend.

ooh this is a creepy one. You made it feel real. Makes me think of Phil Colins song "I'll be Watching You."

I see Silent One would have really liked it in the contest. You were very well inspired and that is what counts!!

Thank you. I got inspired after reading Viv's entry. It was after the contest had passed.

I regret not writing it earlier. As I said, the inspiration came only after I read Viv's entry after the contest was over. Thanks for letting me know that you would have considered it. Blessings.

This is awesome! :D This is a great poem and I laugh at the idea because it borders on the honest obsession gone wrong. But truly a great write!

Thanks for the visit, Sara. That's the whole point of stalker behavior. It's honest obsession gone very wrong.

Eileen, I love that opening line....a poetic "gotcha!". So much of love's obsession walks the line of "stalking"
