Obsession




Pot Pourri by Herbert James Draper




















between love and madness lies obsession
making love with our words, satin sheets
haunting scent lingers with each syllable
rolling from your lips, irresistible appeal
lost in its content..becoming confused
heady  aroma  sweet perfume
alluring fragrance creeps  into my skin
seduction oh what a tantalizing sin
caught in your madness..haha
I laugh
  I cry
   I sigh
I fall into the arms of dark obsession

slogans for dVerse  hosted by Brian

Calvin Klein's Obsession for  Women & Dark Obsession for men
"between love and madness lies obsession"

  3. Now that is an obsession I don't mind
    Pulls us away from the grind
    And back into ones arms
    Although if stalker vibe raises some alarms
    Run from such an obsession, fast
    Otherwise arms surround in what seems like future, present, past

    1. That is a nice obsession
      filled with secret confessions
      may need to use some discretion

      Now, you have me rhyming at my hall
      on this electronic wall..lol..

  4. This is very cool, Truedessa. I used that 'between love and madness lies obsession' in my poem too. I do like that quote & the scent of Obsession. It is a lovely fragrance...heady and sweet indeed. Loved the sensuality of your words!!

    1. Grace,

      I think that slogan was brilliant it sure did rack up the sales for Calvin Klein. I think I read they sold out before it even hit the stores.

  8. Sensual and beautiful... obsession is quite tricky. It can be dark and that is when it gets rough.

    1. Good Morning,

      Thank you for visiting..obsession can be tricky but, then one must define the lines I guess. People are obsessed with people, things and places.

    1. Good Morning Claudia,

      Obsession does have a heavenly scent.

  10. Obsession...

    I guess it's good if the person with whom we are obsessed is ok with it... and returns some level of interest.

    Otherwise, Love on a one-way street kinda sucks...

    Obsession on a one-way street more often than not leads to restraining orders...

    Not sure where that came from...

    HAR!!!!!!!!

    1. Hi Shoes,

      Well an obsession can be good or bad depends on the situation. I agree love on a one way street would not be very gratifying.

      Restraining orders..lol..that sounds a bit dangerous..should I ask???? No, think I'll pass...lol..

      HAR!!!

      Good to hear from you!
