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.

Spared alone is sorrow

It's here he makes a confession
Reveals a long lingering obsession
His undies must be made out of hessian

from daybreak on through my dreams

Wet blood on the floor 
it must have drained out of her;
Forensics team blushed
and instantly looked away;
Hiding macabre obsession.

Thought wonders of sticky toothpaste.
Adorning his hair,
Or auto repair,
All based that with paste it was laced.

for a child

into an

Jacob and the Limping Luck

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.

Obsession to splurge cannot halt!
Surge spending can’t pause
Ending it might cause
Our mental gestalt to default

Womanly charms had them lined up in succession.

My Stalker, Myself

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.

Obsession

Desire hardens to 
Points of obsession,
Irremovable urges cupped with anguish.
Laughter through the blackest hours,
Exhale soften and cushion the end.

The Icy Obsession

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,

It stayed on his mind,
A three-legged scarecrow that sings.

Stoned Again

Adrenaline rapes 
the nerve of addiction

silence rages 
in a reverent 
skull of lucidity

bound to a violent 
obsession
 
freedom …

destruction…

Obsession

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

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!

Food For....Thought

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
