| 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

"between love and madness lies obsession"
"between love and madness lies obsession"
i love the smell of obsession....i like how you turn this though...sensuality def has a voice...love the scent of each syllable...its a good madness to be caught in as well...smiles.
ReplyDeleteHi Brian,
DeleteThanks for such a great prompt it was fun to write. Have a great night!
Lovely stuff - I can relate to dark obsession...
ReplyDeleteAnna :o]
Thanks! Well, sometimes in life we dance on the dark side.
Delete"...sometimes in life we dance on the dark side."
DeleteYes, we do...
~shoes~
Shoes,
DeleteWe certainly do..
Now that is an obsession I don't mind
ReplyDeletePulls 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
That is a nice obsession
Deletefilled with secret confessions
may need to use some discretion
Now, you have me rhyming at my hall
on this electronic wall..lol..
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!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary, I saw that we both used the same slogan it was a major campaign and I think most people have heard or seen it at some point. It is a lovely fragrance.
DeleteLove the slogan and poem. Now I have that song you are an obsession stuck in my mind.
ReplyDeleteHi Laurie,
DeleteThanks but, now you have put that song in my head funny indeed.
What a mad marketing slogan, I like the turn at the end ~
ReplyDeleteWishing you happy weekend ~

Grace,
DeleteI 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.
obsession, dark, drawing
ReplyDeleteturning from light to darkness
I can almost smell the perfume
well writ
Good Evening, thanks for the read and comment.
DeleteSensual and beautiful... obsession is quite tricky. It can be dark and that is when it gets rough.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning,
DeleteThank you for visiting..obsession can be tricky but, then one must define the lines I guess. People are obsessed with people, things and places.
ah nice...can clearly smell this one... making love with our words...hmmm... nice..
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Claudia,
DeleteObsession does have a heavenly scent.
Obsession...
ReplyDeleteI 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!!!!!!!!
~shoes~
Hi Shoes,
DeleteWell 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!
Wow! I love the mood of this poem, and especially loved
