I remember a sense of paralytic seizures taking hold on my physical self like a pit bull something crawled the stone steps into my throat affecting my ability to communicate it's worse when I'm not around you that's when I begin to see you everywhere my toast and coffee in the morning remind me of your steamy breath and brown skin you grace all the billboards of my mind sexy mamma or the Doris Day girl next door you're smiling at me from every passing car at sunset you beckon to me from the west I've learned to resist your alluring lure I've learned your heart distorts the love I gave I've learned mind over matter when you appear I've learned to never allow me to lust for you still, I see you every day of my life I close my eyes you come to me in dreams you take my body and do what you will I am ashamed you can possess me so the daily images of you is almost at an end as I trudge up the Mississippi River Bridge I take a deep breath look into the dark below knowing you'll be waiting for me when I leap . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

Its amazing how someone can get so possessed by thoughts of a dear one. Hope he didn’t leap  there's always a second chance in life. Fine writing, Jerry. "Hardwork pays in the long run" |

Haha! Thanks for the smile this morning, Eric. Actually that scenario played out a few decades ago in real time. Appreciate your remarks. <><><><><><><><> He didn't Prasad, and yes indeed, there is always a second, and third and many chances at life, but when you are in that thought of mind you can't see it too clearly. Thanks for being here. <><><><><><><><> Hi Trina. Undoubtedly the person on this poem was deluding himself about resisting her allure he was thinking about the "big leap." Thank you for liking my poem and commenting. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |
