Possession
Is
This

The foaming sea caressing
And filling the wind hewn cavern
Unasked and without mercy
The ashy volcanic froth pursuing
And engulfing every living thing
Before searing and burning it into submission
The snakes’ jaws bearing upon its prey
Squeezing lifeless the unknown
A boulder crushing an ant
In an instant of nothingness

My love for you
Consuming my soul
Held between every beat of my heart
Being expelled from my lungs
With every waking and sleeping breath
My mind pulsating with thoughts
Of your every move
Bursting through my fingertips
When I touch your skin
The heat of your smile
The scent of your desire
Is with me
Every moment
I exist

This
Is
Possession

Jon... Yes, this is possession, your prose-style has described everything perfectly.. enjoyed it, man.

The beauty of nature is displayed,
not through itself,
but through the creatures
dwelling within its bosom.

if possession is 90% of the law then this one rates a 100.

I like it.  I really do.  I love the intro and the conclusion.

WOW!

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.
