"Life is a story; with chapters and of being 
possessed by emotions along the way."

Possessed

*

In
my life
and journey
it seems I am
different people.
Each one, as if possessed
like chapters of a huge book ~
When I think back, I am haunted,
enthralled, charmed, captivated, tearful.
So, many paths and curves in my journey.

**

Need to just open . . .  a page of my book
to my childhood days and the deep love.
But, then grieve endured obsessed me,
parts of my childhood madness ~
I was  possessed  with craze,
but, I lived though it
by writing words
inspired ~
as tears
poured.

***

This 
woman
of today
is soft, tranquil ~
Embraces the book
is humbled by each page
the journey, story thus far ~
With all the joys, the deaths and love,
all part of this . . .  mesmerizing world,
that, I am enraptured and possessed by.
