Clives' Obsession

Destroyer A Poet ~
Contest Name	Any twisted poem...

My good mate Clive has a probby see, 
he has this one obsession
and though he knows he's being used
love for lady all he's got.
He thinks they were old enemies 
aboard a pirate ship
so i will stop a waffling 
his story this is it....Don 


Clives’ obsession

Obsessive compulsive ,
do I seem a bit today,
And the Shiela has me dancing,
 prancing just her pretty way,
Been driven back to smoking,
 Inside  fire’s a burning away
Love her hate her love her
There is no other  way
Of course she’s 42 
An I am 66
There is no bloody future
Just Charon, across the Styx
Obsession drives me onward
With a friend of long ago
When the sword was driven in me
My death does come and go
I walked the plank 
She drove the sword
But she was then a he
Mortal blood drenching agony
I fell into the sea
But still we have this link
Frustration burning me
My fortunes lower seem to sink
What will become me?....Don Johnson 22-may-11

Poor old Clive, still chain smoking, i see. He drove 2 thousand miles to Darwin to escape her clutches, and took up smoking for his nerves again?
He has these recurring dreams of walking the plank and the sabre driven into his back,
They have a non sexual attachment, unfinished business???

This is a true story and my friend Clive stopped having the many dreams of walking the plank, a stab in the back, fed the sharks fore he sank....when she came to drive him crazy. I have shown him the verse and it is correct he says......
