Obsession

Obsession creates an emotional state
Influences the soul with no chance of escape ,

People and places we attempt to evade
A sequence of energy cosmically made ,

A key to one's heart that's universally shared
Attractions so strong its source no one dares ,

To question a power from deep below ground 
A reflection whose light mirrors rhythm and sound ,

So count your blessings for those who seem rare 
The lessons they teach you are part of love's care ,

To open a window of understanding to share
Her blessings and warmth & energetically rare ,

A pulsating heartbeat shared between one
Understanding that shines bright like the sun.

'An obsession you never wish to escape. ' A pulsating heartbeat shared between one ' This thought is so dreamy and romantic. My kind of poetry, indeed. Your words have left me completely breathless. :) Brandy

You write such passionate poetry ( Purpose being, to open and then see The Heart of a Rose, and the Soul of me ) - such a beautiful completion to such an emotionally capturing poem ! Alan
