Possess

Possess 10.08.10

Oh how we ache
Sometimes to possess
The one we think we love
We just cease to note
When love is gone
Only the animal passion
Lingers on
In the dark corridors
Of a heart
Where once love dwelled.
We try to own our beloved
Never even bothering
To look inside his heart
What are his yearnings!
If they are same as ours
Or something just opposite
We just try and try
Ending in the ruin
Of ourselves
Our lives
Or the life of our loved one.

The angel 22.03.2010
------------------------------------------------------

In the shadow land
An evil demon dwelled
His heart dark as darkness
Cold as the bottom of a well.

He fell in love with an angel
Kind, loving, beautiful rose
He wanted to have her with him
So he went to woo her.

She said she could not love him
As a mate that just cant be
It’s not in their fate, so let it be
She of course could love him as friend.

The demon got angry
Killed her, shattered her pieces all around
Everywhere the pieces touched the earthy
A beautiful garden of flowers formed.
