Short Obsess Poems

Rumor
is a clamor
for vengeance and envy
of somebody obsess with the
glamor...

Grate them like cheese, these
Hushed memories, so I no longer
Obsess, on my perforated chest,
Scrape them off of my plate, no    
Time to waste, Sorrow
Salivates...

Small Grain of Sense

My poems may be about trains and plains;
Trump with sense having only small grains;
They did obsess,
With Loch Ness,
And Washington where it rains and rains.

My guy turns to stare
at a gal like me -
slim with long brown hair
Why might he obsess?
It has to be the
sexy cute red dress!

Meet fortune here in ample store,
Obsess fond cheer with ever more;
Reach beyond fear grand affluence now,
Endow most dear true wealth galore.

repeatedly I sit at my loyal desk and PC
writing words making sense only to me
my topics range from  darkness to light
I obsess and endeavor to get it all right
lost in my thoughts to set my mind free

Ply placid peace
Obsess odd orbs
Etch easy ease
Thrill touchy throbs
Reap rainbow rays
Yoke yielding yes
Seize succinct stay
Taste timely test
If intent inks
Live lazy less
Lift lovely link

It is a must that I have to rush,
And spare not even a second of Time
All I touch just turns to dust-
Patience...that virtue to find!
Amidst the stress so meaningless,
The Peace I seek thereafter
For my own good I can't obsess,
But get lost in all the laughter...

Forge free fancy
Arm ample art
Note now nicely
Cheer creates chart
Yonder yields yoke
Frame fleeting form
Inch ink invokes
Rich rapture romps
Meet movements meek
Set silence soars
Flame funny freak
Obsess odd oar
Ripe richness rest
Mind moving mess...

if you believe the worst
look for problems,
obsess belief til it is faith,
blame for these occurrences
wish to be right in vengeance to say I told you so
then you should let go and step back,
Life is full of variation, 
and this one will never bring you happiness...

TO RIP 

                   Not to grasp or grip.
           Not to obsess, learn to rip.
                  On journey if life,
                     feeling to initiate,
             also sure to terminate.

Without your permission,
   I will come into your life and omit traces of my most modest essence.
Then without warning,
   I will withdraw myself from your domain,
     leaving you to obsess over my unorthodox disposition that has been unraveling since  
      first introduction...

Choice charms cheery
Hurl hints happy
Opt ooze only
Clear charms crazy
Observe oomph odd
Lift learning laze
Apt aim applauds
Touch thrilling trace
Earn etch easy
Calm clever craze
Oblige only
Crude cunning case
Observe obsess
Ask and attest

Unhurried, loose, easy 
Meandering, forlorn pathway 
Nightfall, greatness
Scenes, unfurl in obsess
Strolling byway, late day sounds
Dazzling splendors surround 
Among squeaking treetops crowned 
Seeing falling leaves, flicking 
Glimmering mist, crickets ticking 
With heavy steps, leisurely, plodding...

I carve and cut my quarters from a cork tree
Intermittently pausing to assess my progress
Young yet yellowing Yggdrasil on the Yangtze 
Getting grander but perishing in the process
Good God gaze at this gape and give a guarantee
Don't let me regress, digress, transgress, or obsess

Nurture nice niche
Observe the way
Thrill touching teach
Instruct fond say
Choice charms charade
Eye each ember
Meet movements made
Yield yokes yonder
Move mystic mime
One odd obsess
Toss trouble times
Imprint impress
Vibrant verse vests
Etch each excess

I must confess
And do protest
Needless request
Then retest
Do not OBSESS
SLEEPLESS. Lack REST?

At best count sheep 
Then speak and reset
Phenomenal address.
NOW
relent 
Consent 
No contest
Restrain 
Contain
Insane
Now, retreat don't  creep
Don't peek get sleep. Then
Address all request.
PRICELESS....

Meek moments make,
Impulse inks ice;
Crazy charm cakes,
Rich rambles rise;
Obsess old oils.
Streak sanguine stops,
Thrust troubled toils;
Observe odd opts,
Remind ripe rogue;
Yes yields yonder.
Yield yester yoke,
Ask apt answer;
Rest rowdy romps,
Niche nurtures norm.

Poverty possessed – need to own 
Steal away
to possess by me – and me alone
Ludicrous to obsess
need to love
Stolen away to either be free and obsessed 
or jailed and alone
With time displaced
        time we’ve grown	
                          Between a hard place	to face	and a stone.

I
Obsess
Over you.
Thoughts are like knives
Stabbing at my brain,
Killing me; thought by thought,
My consuming mania!
I need to crawl out of my skin
To get away from the cutting edge
Before switchblade thoughts of you do me in.

You don't have to
go through life alone
or obsess about obscurity.

To you, every ounce of faith
Will work.

And pure prayers said should be
communed with the Source.

And as you hold
And look to better things,
That Source forgiving ways pays.

You'll see things your visions
Never dared to believe.

The future starts now,
Like morning dew.

Welcome to the land of love and blood.
Welcome to the land of milk and honey,
but never stumble and fall in the mud.
Stay on the path that's bright and sunny.

Don't you ever bow down to the god of money.
Don't ever succumb to the hell that is greed.
Don't you ever fall in that trap; it ain't funny.
Don't obsess on what you want; focus on what you need.
