Keeping Occupied

Rent out space in my mind Intoxicate this brain Occupy inside thoughts Inviting obsession Taste list of last resorts Rent out space in my mind Desert me wanting more Plant a seed of desire A lustful tangle tempts Dance within to inspire Rent out space in my mind Cater to every whim Coax me, feed me, give in Nothing and everything Teeter on edge of sin Rent out space in my mind Move me on, move me out Rationalise intent Irradicate screaming To entirely augment

I love this poem. Just a note: be careful what you wish for. I wonder what the rental fee would be? You may have a lot of company relaxing on a chair in your mind. A good, good poem.

I thought your title was perfect as was the manner in which you began each verse: Rent out space in my mind was creative . Your poem was engaging; enjoyed it...have a great weekend, Sara
