Heartbeat Dependency
You imagine them whispering in your ears
Through the screen of your computer
You forced me to listen to your heart
Quick and irregular
I'm afraid to uncover my ears
To hear the beating of your heart
I hope it never stops
Otherwise mine starts

Obsessive Lust
The longing want to hold you,
to kiss you,
to keep you.
I need you in my life,
forever will I need you.
I’m jealous of the sun,
as it gets to kiss you in the ways,
I always wish to kiss you.
I’m jealous of your sheets,
as they get to lay on you and warm you up,
in the way I wish to

You Don't Want Me
You don’t want me.
I’m broken and bruised
I’m a web of ugly scars from my healing
I’m a fraud
I’m a jittery, anxious idiot who can’t stop thinking
I’m the friend that always dampens the mood
I’m a product of my racing heart and mind colliding
I’m someone who feels such heaviness but can’t cry
I spend every second trying to please

non-mechanical
Love is non-mechanical
it doesn’t crank, pinion
or always work dependably.
In cavalier moments, I thought I knew
something of how it all works—
it’s apertures and shafts—
its grinds and reciprocations.
I’d judge it’s motions
work its levers, judge its spins,
and address its slippery angles.
You could call me obsessive
but obsessive people don’t
obsess this much.
You could call me compulsive
but the compulsive aren't
this compulsive.

Obsessive Orange
I will always hate the colour orange. Consider:
Last meeting was on promoting sales of necklaces,
The folder given was orange.
Going home was a one-lane affair,
An orange sign stated, “Works Ahead”.
Orange traffic cones lined the lane on each side.
Arriving home I found my wife had installed orange curtains.
By this time I began to have some shivers.
Dinner began:

Obsessive Compulsive
Check door, handle, lock. Check them twice.
Life with O.C.D. - that's the price.
Do the same each and every day;
"Unlocked!" the inner voices say.
Holding you hostage in a vice.

Obsessive About Male Peacocks
I saw peacock feathers stuck in fences when I was a child.
The farm next to my grandparents raised peacocks.
They were the prettiest colors of purple and gold.
I wanted to run over there and grab some up.
My mother thought it would be rude, so we didn’t.
My grandparents used to go to Mexico every year.
They brought back

An Obsessive Passion
Once upon a time, a little girl listened to her mother read
fairy tales and nursery rhymes to her.
Fiction, rhyme and rhythm then took hold of her,
imprinting their enchantment indelibly on her mind.
Several years passed. The girl learned to read books herself.
Upstairs in her room alone – as her siblings played downstairs -
she lay on her

That Obsessive Look of Fake Passion
Keep on walking straight,
don't turn back and show
that obsessive look of fake passion;
nobody can own me for the wildest night
and have fun while I think
of that sweet and true woman
who has conquered me long ago;
nothing can impress me, not even a wink!
That obsessive look of fake passion
can only show a bad intention,
I may

Obsessive and Compulsive Little Me
It is crazy to be this compulsive about so many things.
I draw out three or four cartoons a week that I paint.
It may take me another week, but I work on four at once.
My daily poem quota is ten, but I sometimes write thirty.
Okay. I lie. I once wrote thirty in one day.

Sacrilegious Transgression Against Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Siege warfare (trumpeting)

Sacrilegious Transgression Against Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
I generally mean mine mien mental state

despite therapeutic laxative merely exhausts
