Pick A Title Volume 42 Sponsor : Edward Ibeh Date : 11th March 2024

Insatiable compulsion overwhelms. I am losing control in all realms. This irresistible urge I try to subdue. What makes me so attracted to you? I am going to resist, I want to break free. Spell binding power you have over me You’re in my thoughts, night, and day. A driving force and I can’t break away. It can’t be love, I detest the way you are. You had the ability to inflict this scar. You instill mindful terror into my soul. Yet I yearn for you to make me whole. We don’t agree! You like metal I like Jazz Boisterous is your way, mine is pizzazz. I will listen to Morbid Angel just for you. You have a hold on me no matter what I do. I desire you going to sleep, and in my dreams. In my head as I wake and all day long it seems. There’s no release for me, I am totally obsessed. How is it I love someone that has me possessed?

Many congratulations once again dear Wen with this wonderful winning poem! Applause! You have captured possession with all its power here within all wonderfully written poetic lines. ‘ Spell binding power you have over me’ ‘ You have a hold on me no matter what I do’. So well expressed and very intense. You have captured the title so, so well for the person is captured by a whole consuming obsession even though being possessed instills terror so deep. A fatal attraction!

Oh Chris, the words of your comment are astounding. Thank you so much my dear friend, it is so very heart warming to have my poem so wonderfully accepted. You read into the poem exactly what I felt as I wrote. I think poetry is much like acting. The art in it is to become the character you write about and to feel the way they feel, then it will flow to the reader. Thank you a million times for your support of my poetry. Thats still not enough.

Interesting, and some women (men, too) get wrapped up in inter-dependency and feed off differences. Yikes! :)

It really does seem like some folk are possessed to stay... Almost unexplainable. Thanks for you comment Laf. Appreciate you dropping by. Best wishes Wen

Infatuation at its flaming best!

Infatuation is generally lust inspired and emotionally (as opposed to rationally) driven. Your photo would seem to suggest as much as well as lines like: "insatiable compulsion overwhelms," and "I desire you in my ... dreams." But what do I know? Write on :)

But infatuation isn't the subject of the poem. ; ) ( Infatuation means she thinks he is marvelous... She doesn't ! ) But I'll take it as you like it... Thanks tom.
