Embers of Obsession

A Poetic Journey Through Passion's Uncharted Realms

Embers of Obsession

Shadows cast at the midnight hour reflect

a silken thread web of want,

obsessions spin a spell so large.

in souls where restless ideas grow.

Eyes ablaze with passionate glitter,

An eye piercing the darkness,

Pursuing ghosts, following aspirations,

limited in chains of sheer enjoyment.

A symphony of quiet cries in the mental secret rooms,

A tempest in the sighs of a lover, where the truth of infatuation resides.

Through the hallways of time,

A never-ending cycle, a constant tide,

Obsession and love always bide in time with the rhyme of the heart.

Neither morning nor the brightness of sunshine can interrupt this passionate trance, nor can any other.

Because in the frantic dance of infatuation, lies a love not words can silence.

Hence let the fire burn always.

For obsessions, we forever desire in hearts where strong passions blossom.

In the infinitely boundless room of love.

    I sense passion and love all together. Life cycle of lovers where no words can silence the action. Deep romance and enjoyment came to my mind as I continue reading. I enjoyed reading your poem Dr. Jason. Keep sharing your talent with the world.
