Obsessions

Passions are something I have a few of. When asked to write upon them it was interesting what came up and out of my pen.

The word obsession seems to call to me a link with desires and, as a treacherous Scorpio, desire is one treasure that both torments and identifies me to some extent... I strive to defeat my desire while I also embrace it lovingly as part of being alive.

Obsessions,
like a shiny stone.
Obsidian,
Black with desire.
Cool as wanting.
I want,
Like fingertips want,
To slide across the stone.
Leaving their trail of
Sweat.

A Book Obsession

Agatha Christie has her own

Shelf.

But I keep this to myself...

As she is 'olde worlde' ish,

And furthermore

(so I have been told)

Boring.

For some reason though,

At my house,

Agatha Christie has

Her own shelf.
