The Fixation
Fixated on the chemistry of it the human brain
the sudden chemical imbalances that surge a
sudden quickening of memories stored forgotten
carefully store in an attic between boxes of brain
matter manifested over time wondering if someday
they could be unpacked finally used as some sort
of memory foundation an yet sudden emotions

FICTIONAL FIXATION
When my world is otherworldly...
Built and bent on friction,
Often I make my escape
Into a form of fiction.
Whether book, a game or film...
Whatever entertains,
Its makeup can expand my mind
Without loss - only gains.
Words of something I can read
Ignite my imagination...
I see what is written in
A vision of creation.
Short or long, it doesn't matter...
Images in my mind
Can

Fixation
"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 tears smudge
lonely words in
tormented ink possessed with

Inextricably Rooted With Hair Fixation
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 plus three earthly orbitz,
(come January thirteenth
add another Roman Numeral one),
I

Fixation
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 but lick my lips in anticipation
Looking at hers all

In the Company of Alliteration Fixation
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 Barbra, Brian
And Bobby Barrington bounced on
Beds broken by

Fixation
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 to pain, like you're with asthma
Rage, you have but it

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
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 mind
No rest for the wicked
The body of the mortal shell

Fixation On Adoration
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 give me-
That's why I treat my pets,
as if they were

Ocular Fixation
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 small
said you'll never have it all unless you own up

Our Oral Fixation
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 and learn to be a little more satisfied with less.

Sexual Fixation Vexation
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 got a
Sexual fixation vexation,
How can I clear my
