He Follows Me

vehicles slammed
in lines of caffeine addiction
he is a being of unstable nature
behind wheels of torture
thought out plans
blue prints of the hunt
I just happened to be there
the one in front of his taste
behind buildings of sugar and beans
hidden from the mulch of the road
from the speeding thoughts
that sickness in his smile
the many times of this game
he plays, he treads in waters deep
and sets fires for himself
I fled that steamy afternoon away
and found him there
around every corner I turned
behind every sign in the city
he was there, with that smile
that deep rooted illness
his plans unfinished
and me on his list,
running scared from his ways
from his bleeding eyes
and unstable mind,...
his silvery gray vehicle
my nightmare screams,
he follows me it seems.

Such a frightening experience, to be stalked.  And just as unfortunate that the laws are so weak to prevent it.  Maybe he needs medical help...like a little tincture of 9mm placed smartly between those "bleeding eyes" of his.  (Not that I would ever advocate violence mind you).  Nice expression of the anguish here.  Let me know if I can help.  Hardrock

Wow SpitFire...it flowed in a different sort of way, but I really loved the poetry.  It's too bad that people get obsessed like that though...

SF,

It is truly sad that there are people in the world like this.  They are sick and need help.  I hope you never see him again my friend.  Take care.  Powerful writing you.

Spitfire I was looking over my shoulder as I read each line of the poem, intense stuff. I hope the stalker is no more. take care, great poem.

why must we pray
screaming? why must not death be redefined? we shut our eyes we stretch out our arms and whirl on a pane of glass-patti smith

Oh no!
How horrid!
Have you got rid of him yet?
I was once besieged for weeks by a pupil of mine who turned out to be a psychopath! There is also another quite unpleasant person who has been following me around town for years, but in contrast to yours he seems to be harmless ...
Good luck?
Oh, excellent poem (I was so carried away I almost forgot about the most important bit!)
