One's obsession with material wealth brings his soul impoverishment!

Light has become my obsession,
for some reason I like to see
exactly where it is I am going,
trying to forget where I used to be.
O my love and passion!
And looks and glamour’s obsession
May you know upfront!
From teeth of time’s termite
Spared alone is sorrow
A long psychology session
It's here he makes a confession
Reveals a long lingering obsession
His undies must be made out of hessian
you’re an obsession driving me insane
from daybreak on through my dreams
longing to taste your lips

Wet blood on the floor
it must have drained out of her;
Forensics team blushed
and instantly looked away;
Hiding macabre obsession.
A man of debatable taste
Thought wonders of sticky toothpaste.
Adorning his hair,
Or auto repair,
All based that with paste it was laced.

What did he tell my Beauty?

Why did she place her pure lips on his face?

Unreason: rescue my girl from past predator-lovers
With perfect obsession
I shrink-wrap
to your contours -
cocooned;
butterfly will never escape my mania.

In

despair crushes

pain
erupts
into an
obsession with
death.
Ekphrasis on his series on death by Bocklin
Jacob don't snob,
All others died but you just limp,
Contain your ego within realism,
Obsession discards good fame,
Beware of your luck joyfully.
Though urges could empty a vault
Obsession to splurge cannot halt!
Surge spending can’t pause
Ending it might cause
Our mental gestalt to default
Sassy Betty Boop
Said: "Don't take away my boop-oop-a-doop."
Innocent sexuality caused male obsession.
Womanly charms had them lined up in succession.
She walks in light I cannot share,
yet still I breathe her borrowed air;
she whispers "please," so soft, so slight,
my face the last she sees tonight.
Desire hardens to
Points of obsession,
Irremovable urges cupped with anguish.
Laughter through the blackest hours,
Exhale soften and cushion the end.
My mouth loves ice, it's all so nice,
I'd hunt it down at any price.
I'd suck it until my gums go numb,
Chew on it, even if it breaks a tooth or two.

Collecting all manner of things,
From battered old derbies to rings,
He still couldn’t find,
It stayed on his mind,
A three-legged scarecrow that sings.
Adrenaline rapes
the nerve of addiction
silence rages
in a reverent
skull of lucidity
bound to a violent
obsession
freedom …
destruction…

Form:
Obsession is quiet
Soft as a rose petal
Obsession is vanilla
Smells sweet, tastes like poison
Obsession is water
Rushing about
Obsession looks flushed
Crazy
Form:
Put it down to a grey-haired obsession;
Participles are a vexed question.
Even though it sounds quaint,
Elegant it ain't,
Robbing gerunds of their possessions!
They're searching for fuel by every means
Even in the inbetweens
Soon their obsession will pass
They'll find themselves some gas
Just do like us and eat some beans
