'...your biggest curse', her bruised heart screams,
'is that you love...'
Pupils dilated as if to absorb
every ray of light that softly leaps
off this fragile doll...
This perfect image formed
within admiring eyes.
Perfection, her down fall...
He protects her from a world
crawling with the vilest of things.
Yet she bleeds tears...
Does he not know that
it is him whom she,
above all else fears?
She reasons all day that, she
understands not the depth of
this 'love' of his...
Held so tight with all his
possessive might, crushing!
Leaving her listless...
Hurt everyday out of
purpose, she's sure for its
always the same...
Then cared for with teary eyes,
her tormentor and then her healer.
This syndrome has a name...
Housed within an exquisite
abode made from solid gold.
A cage lined with lace...
"I love you but I can never set you
free". She nods and silently embraces
her final resting place...

My look at the possessive and the darker side of that concept we can never completely fathom... Love.
Please tell me what you think

Obsession....Yes!
AWWWWWWW!
Its stunning piece! This is something i see very oftenly in society!
ThanQ for sharin such a butful piece!

Reality is indeed woven from the wildest dreams, and the scariest nightmares....
some obsessions translate into letting go...... setting someone free, from your love, your care, your devotion, your obsession.......
and sadly enough, at the heights of masochism, you voluntarily choose those abodes of solid gold, to confine yourself, by those very shackles of obsession, which were once, the very essence of your being.........

Whoa
As always, you've tried looking at something from somebody else's eyes! Still amazed at how easily you can pull off something like that. Unfortunately, as always again, I'm not very comfortable with the flow of words. Maybe too complicated for my palate?
Glad you're back after a long hiatus! Missed ya tons!
You know what though? I think you should start getting personal with your poems. Write about what something means to you, write about what your world would be without somebody, write about what you would've wanted to be other than what you are..
People reading this, try to reign in your horses of imagination, I'm no stalker! Me and lyrical rebel go a long way back! It's just that every time I read something she wrote, i'm wondering how magical would it be if it was about something she could feel within her?
If her third person view could hit you with so much impact, imagine what a first person view could do?
Waiting for the day.

WOW!
This is beautifully stunning. Very emotional and true. You did an amazing job at portraying your look on possessive and dark love. Truely amazing!

Shocking and very powerful.
Obsession is suffocating I know. It turns your life hell.
The flow is great too.
My favorite lines were,
'Housed within an exquisite
abode made from solid gold.
A cage lined with lace...
"I love you but I can never set you
free". She nods and silently embraces
her final resting place...'
Loved I came acrooss this one.
Thanks for sharing.

Stunning
I can identify with this so deeply. It's one of the main and major reason I left my first husband, the love of my life. I dont think many can understand the depth of this amazing poem. I'm sure they can appreciate it for its poetic skillful brilliance !

I didn't realize it would have a personal meaning to you... hope I haven't opened old wounds, for it wasn't my intention.. I embrace you for being the strong woman that you are!! Not many have it to leave a beautiful illusion..
Thank you for your sweet comments, one day I wish to be truly worthy of such praise...
Thanks once again!
