Obsession

I confess I read every poem you write I rarely leave a comment or you'd know This obsession of mine is far from trite Please, I beg you, don't make me let this go Your love sonnets are written just for me Whispered words of love that thrill to the core Rhymes and rhythms touch so sensuously The depth of your love is for evermore Imagery your gift - a rose - I receive Each petal described from a colorful world All the thorns carefully by you are relieved Personifying truly I'm your girl I study placement of a comma and dash This muse I have for you will always last July 30, 2018 Not Just Any Old Rose Contest By Mark Massey N/A

Oh, yes, I have scrutinized every sigh and syllable from someone in my past, could relate to this lovely prose!

Thanks, Michelle. This was fiction but at a time in the past it would not have been beyond me at all.

Oh I love it Susan, I've seen obsession on soup so bad its lead to stalking and sadly people have left because of unwanted attention - so easy to read every poem as if it was meant for you:-) good luck in the contest:-) hugs Jan xx
