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 Mewett |

Oh Jon, If only I could capture a man's heart like this...I seem to be the one with the emotions you display in this poem and end up with nothing but a memory of what it wasn't. You keep my hope alive... Great Work! --Jamie   |

Nice work Jon! This one falls into the category of "I wish I had written that"! |

I agree totally with Jonas on this one. I totally wish I had written that. the things i liked about this poem are too numerous to mention, but let's just say that not only is it about possession but it passion, desire, and all those intense feelings that we crave when they,re not around but loathe when they return.
