I write and write and then delete and then I write again I think and then I overthink to overcome the pain I smile at you, then frown at you, and then I sigh and cry I wonder what you've done to me, and then I wonder why I give my love, I take it back, and then I give some more I put down drawbridge of my heart, and then I bolt the door I do my dance, I hope to trance, and then I disappear I warm you up, and then I chill, and then I draw you near I plant a kiss, and then I hiss, and then I pacify I touch you cheeks, and lick your lips, and then I say goodbye I contemplate and ruminate and then on impulse act I dream of you, and live for you, and hate you: that's a fact! So, here's the deal, just let me heal from my insanity But you must know, this crazy show is not just vanity I must blame you, your love's not true, and I am victimized I try to gain, reprieve from bane, but heart is paralyzed You drive me mad, you make me glad, you play me like a toy You make you crave, you make me slave: you are a naughty boy! So I must say, I am this way because of what you've done So go away, oh, please just stay, and make me come undone! Eileen ;)

This is crazy good!! I could hardly sit still -- the passion, energy, power is incredible. My heart is racing -- I came undone!! You are awesome Little One -- and that is an understatement!

Yes, C....it is a hopeless situation and yet...even that hopelessness has some joy in it. Ah...the crazy things love makes us do. It's fun to write...Once you take an idea and you elaborate and just go wild. Yes...I have a wild wild side. Hugs

WOW! I love the art work you have chosen, a play of emotions is at play and rooted, a never ending game. Blessings, 7, Eileen.

Thanks, Eve. I'm given to extremes....This is the reality of my life. I'm very emotional...quite volatile. It's a blessing and curse. I know that well. Thanks for the lovely visit. I'm touched.

You have captured the manic and the depressive with this piece. You are on a roll with your writing today!

I write and ..........I sigh and cry I wonder what you've done to me, and then I wonder why I am just hooked to your poem( and glued too) from the first stanza. You have immense power to understand others' emotions. You are a rare sort of poets who thrive on such intense passions.You are getting subtler and crazier(!) and a great lover too. Eileen you are a blessing to us all.Love-rajat

Oh....glued, eh? I'm glad. Read and read, my dear. I have lots to keep you interested if you like this type of poetry. Yes, Rajat....I am a little crazy...passionately insane. I'm not always easy to get along with, but....that's just me. Thanks for considering me a blessing. I'm touched. Hugs
