S trange is the way unbound mind hovers, I don’t steer
T rapped in insecurity web I tread life in lurking fear
A t times I feel someone trails, my tense sense strains
L ook out, but find no one, the eerie feeling remains
K nowing fear won’t go away if I don’t face the stalker
E xplore boldly I must, encounter the equipoise breaker
R esolving strongly in impulse I look back in the hollow
S talking me I perceive is the creepy mind in my shadow.

To an entity that's blind from me
Lurking in the shadows near vicinity.
Creeping silently tiptoeing around
Trying hard to not make a sound.
Watching from afar so I can't see
His whereabouts hidden from
my eye sight, hid in his
disguised invisibility .
But I can feel his presence
I'm aware that he is lurking near.
As my emotions begin to fray intensely
Tempered by my stalker I'm in fear.
Scared of sudden movement
But not wanting him to know that I'm aware
So still I struggle on each daily taking
Hindered by the moments that I blindy share.
Is there any resolving answers
Without making anger of my hidden foe
As unsure about his minds way of working
Or the lengths that he will go.
So soon I've had all that Im prepared too
And i take a sudden change in my direction
No longer will I let myself live in fear of him
So out of mind &of sight he can stay there in my defeats rejection.

Why oh why do I have to learn
Of poets compelled to leave here – it causes me great concern
There are people who mock us,
Then there are the poets here who block us
I can ignore them - they don’t cause me alarm
But there is a different type of person, they can cause great harm
Hiding behind their keyboard, wearing a veiled disguise
There are those who stalk, victimise and terrorise
They need teaching a lesson and kicking hard right in their flies!
I know it’s not just the ladies who suffer this type of abuse
Guys can get hooked in and trapped like in a noose
These childish idiots need to go home and play with their dolls
Please contact soup admin to get rid of these pathetic trolls
Please, please, please don’t leave our group

Stalkers select an object to desire,
Then they plot and conspire to
take control of their victims' lives, by
following them, sometimes dressed
in disguise, cleverly trying to infiltrate
their private matters by turning into
insane, mad hatters,
Lurking, watching, waiting and if zany,
attacking, because their pre-conceived notions
have taken on their own life,
Their fantasies begin to play on their minds,
and in an unguarded moment their stalking
becomes a reality...........
Creatures prowling through the forest
hunters and prey cloaked by dark curtain
*for Brian's "As You Will" contest
A hunger growing deep inside
This lust so strong it can longer hide
I’ve pined for you in my years of waiting
Drowning in my hormones still anticipating
The feel of your touch
Your hot kisses down my neck
Heat rising between our bodies
Our pounding hearts racing faster
I see you like no other can
How long must I wait before you understand
We were meant to be together
A beautiful life sharing an eternity of pleasure
Always will you remain the apple of my eye
I’ll hold you above all others even the heavens and the sky
I worship the ground you walk on each day
Still longing and waiting it’s for you that I pray
You look so peaceful as you lay there asleep
A picture in my memoire I shall forever keep
My angle my goddess you are my shepherd I am your sheep
Can you not see this love flows deep
I’ll leave you now my princess my queen
My object of affection my priceless figurine
Dream of me my love as I will be dreaming of you
One day maybe our dreams will come true
Please note that I'm not a stalker I was just trying to feel life threw the eyes of a stalker. I
thought it would be a good creative experience.
Don't think me weird it's creepy at the very least, I simply use your body for my eyes to feast.
For every little change your gentle body makes, I'll remember it, the mental snapshot that my
brain just takes.
I follow you through every place you've ever stood, I live across the street in your own
neighborhood.
I remember every choice, every simple, good deed. You see I only live by the Lonely Stalker's
Creed.
