Best Fixation Poems

We’re mostly big and contorted 
From snacks and diets distorted
If you are still thin
You no longer fit in
Small portions our culture's aborted


Author's note: Just got back from the continent.  People are still much leaner there than here.  We need to stop filling ourselves...

FIXATION	

There was music    of course
Not the usual sort of girl    at least in my fixated estimation
Jump rope
“Winnie the Pooh”
Teddy bear
These survivors unto high school and through
Rather a “flower child’ she
It wasn’t the way she walked    although?
She...

There's this strange fascination, 
I carry without contemplation-
it lingers on with infatuation,
as I'm stuck on this fixation.

My mother never taught me this,
I learned this all on my own-
Picture Frames and scrapbooks, 
full of the pets in my home.
I always craved more love,
than people could ever...

"I pick it up and turn to a random page and read a sentence - 'Nothing fixes a thing so firmly in the memory as the wish to forget it'."- Matt Haig

The poet's pen trembles and hovers...
   inches from the page.
Mascara bleeds as...

Hold up hold up
Rewind that
What she say?
“I’m fanatically, addicted see, the way that he be lovin’ me” ”It’s like a drug or 
some bad habit since its mine, I got to have it. I just got to have it I’m a fanatic I 
just gotta...

Looking in her eyes
i see the brightest light to burn the skies
and wondered how i lived without her

a smile that would make me wanna start to say she opened up my heart
but then again i wrote it all in a letter


she makes my flaws so...

Inextricably rooted with hair fixation

As a lad in grade school,
yours truly, (a diminutive, intuitive,
oversensitive, and vegetative potato head kid,
whose voice exhibited
a severe nasal twang)
felt envious at other boys,
especially those young bucks
who sported budding antlers
plus thick thatch of hair.

Even now as a grown man
of three score...

His love for me was divine
My words he’d enshrine
But when it came to his mother
His devotion was deeper and subtler
All her suggestions were commands
This would be done on hands
Her failings he’d refuse to see
Even if it meant leaving me
Her power she wielded over him
Her terror...

Donald Trump Fixation

This Donald Trump fixation
A ploy to blind the nation
For, he won't play by the bullies rules
So, the bullies keep the public fooled

Fixation of war engulfs the world
To take another person's land in the darkness
Dragging the life force out of good
Shoving change down another's throat
Creating equality that isn't pure or from the heart
Never to return in the womb of new life
Bowing heads of mercy slaughters
No peace of...

While I pondered weak and worn
I'm so weary broken bones.  These
Battered bones could not roam 
Because when bones are busted it's 
Brutally bothersome.  Now look,
Imagine images of imaginary 
Inferior superiority with this fixation.

Simply sample this story.  
With wondrous worldly words
Wendy wondered why...

told that it had nothing to do with 
(why me why me why me why me)
you, told that you just weren’t the 
(why me why me why me why me)
one, told that you had nothing in 
(why me why me why me why me)
common, told...

Time sweeps away all the hurt
Water washes away all the dirt
The feeling component is how you're art
The healing component is now your heart
You are unbreakable in your hardest times, like a rock
Long hair, innocent eyes but seen sinful times, in your walk
Your breath gives birth...

I've got a little problem 
Some say it ain't so bad 
But, yeah, I got a problem 
I can't get you out my bed. 

Hiding under my pillow 
Or vanishing 
Beneath the sheets 
The blame I place 
relates solely 
to my need for relief. 

I...

I have always had an eye out for chocolate 
A dark skinned girl with glossy lips
Guess that's why I can't help myself
Every time I'm around all that sweetness 

Its like a craving that never washes off your mouth 
Cause everytime I'm this close
I can't help...
