Obsession Poems
Holding On
by Nicole B
Heavy and prominent your words trapped between my heart and a paper weight
Effortlessly and uncontrollable I’ve accepted our fait like the sun accepts my skin
Forcefully with intention my knuckles turn white choking your memory
A Multitude of Woes
by Carl Halling
Yes, there was a time
I was obsessed by melancholy,
I saw deep sadness,
The quality that so tormented
My former favoured idols,
Poets, painters,
Musicians, actors,
Creators of every kind,
As glamorous and romantic,
But it’s not,

You are a fire burning from afar at night
seen by every thought and every question
and every doubt birthed by the fog that was my mind
you are the question mark that mocks the end
the hyphen that frays me

the starless night that is my
memory. tides flood my shores
ripples of longing as you circle

Stone by Stone
by Shawna Marshall
Stone by stone

Earnest Hesitation
by Prm S
What's wrong? She asked...
and then there was a long silence...

He loves me, right?
He does, in his own ways.
It's sometimes gloomy, sometimes bright—
"Single shade is boring", he says.
I don't understand
The disquiet of the people around.
Even with moments of hurt that soon mend,

Basic Instinct
by Mario Odekerken
The body knows

Anderson CMXXII
by Lee-Ann Azzopardi
I am hurting for yr body
Naked in the corner there
Where the Greek sun shines
Yr innocence is not anywhere
You lost it long ago
And I want for yr touch to teach me
As my inexperience craves for knowledge
Only you can give
The warm, summer wind lies on our bodies
Kissing them with delight

analysis of infatuation
by elle jackson
i love you so
(i hate myself)
i admire your depth,
(i feel so hollow all the time)
your words send shivers down my spine
(yet i'm empty, formless)
i'd shout about you from the rooftops
