A Lengthy Obsession

I tried to think and nothing happened, then I tried to work and swiveled in my chair. All I had known died as I recall when My world became blue eyes and golden hair. Sunrise became drab when matched with her eyes - Her hair evoked the sounds of heaven's call. There was a day when mankind called me wise, But that was lost without a care at all. "Obsessed!" they said, and I could only smile. My life had turned and left the sane behind. The world of love possessed me all the while - Leaving me daft and with a simple mind. Don't grieve for me for I found something rare - I vanished in blue eyes and golden hair. 7/18/2017 For Silent One's contest Obsession

The love poems; they all sound the same. But not this one; it tells more than exaggerated emotions.
