Obsessions Poems

I can be obsessive. For instance, last night I needed a command hook.
My mind couldn’t focus on “Principles of Biostatistics,” as fascinating as that book is, because I needed this $3 command hook to hang my keys by the door.

There’s a table by the door, I could easily put my keys there, but no. That’s

Raw Obsessions

The penchant of a national leader. 
can show malignancy in things he says;
things for which his mind needs a proof-reader.
Some tempers malign as rivals start to quiz
Views have drawn the cancer,  cacoethes.

A writer’s mania – cacoethes scribendi -
appears when terrorists write a manifesto.
Do over-engaged minds stage what’s trendy?
obsessive was the groove of the fluent

Fleeting Obsessions

We're so keen, so obsessed,
We're tired, so fed up.
Disgusted, disappointed, and anguished,
Yet we proceed, we go on.

Afraid of giving up,
Bound by chains,
Chains of our loves and faith and desires,
In a cage of our own feelings.

Our minds can wander far,
Yet remain imprisoned within ourselves.
We don't seek relief,
We just tell ourselves: go on, go on.

Until our hearts

Premium MemberObsessed By My Obsessions

Obsessed by my obsessions 
to point of being swept away

If only I were capable 
of living a different way 
Despite all of my pleadings 
seems no matter how hard I pray 
This driving force of focus 
still define’s my life today.

Premium MemberAbsurd Obsessions

It may have been gradual, 
But once I did get obsessed.
I would ask myself,
Why must my shadow
Follow me?  What did I do wrong?
Seemed to me the darker the shadow became
The more evil I had committed.

Now I am no saint, but surely
I could not have been that bad!!
Still that miserable shadow
Would follow me everywhere.
It would

Mine Courtship With Deadly Obsessions

Mine courtship with deadly obsession(s)
still indelibly scored within 
windmills of my mind
this July 22nd, 2020.

Imagine yours truly post pubescence
(no matter ye never met me)
all that life in front of me
argh... precious time squandered
abustle with rattle and hum of compulsions
slavishly buzzfeeding pet peeves.

Anorexia nervosa ranked
as thee moost detrimental
upon cusp of prepubescence
I metaphorically teetered
and tottered on the

Some people are prisoners of obsessions
It matters not how they attempt it to shun
Takes over their soles
Losing control
It's a battle I know because I was one

Dual Obsessions: Santorini And You


Dreaming of us walking in warm, sandaled feet. 
Between alabaster white stucco homes on a narrow 
street in Greece. 

Sun, so graciously blessing our love. 
Families have aquamarine shutters on the windows, 
to have their privacy. 

Ahead~a lovely white bench for us, just a few more feet 
away. 
To cool ourselves beneath

Often Oppossed To Obsessions

Often Oppossed to Obsessions

Often have been opposed to obsessions;
And then you must obtain more sessions,
Thought needed,
Never impeded,
Of constant concentration on confessions.

Obsessions

I’ve become dangerously obsessive and it’s starting to cause pain

Not on others, boy I wish, but I’m all theres to blame

It’s tearing me up, my mind is rot, it’s not aesthetically pleasing 

For certain obsessions only inspire devilish laughs and teasing

If only it was classic symbols my mind hungrily wants

Looking glasses, chess and clocks, all

Rigid Code of Obsessions

wheel ding utmost pro lix: 
   scrum compulsions won 
despite feeling dog tired, (like a ton
of bricks weighed me down) 

   while seduced by the sun 
solar radiation from the sky didst lightly run
