    Obsessive Inclination
    You are an addiction
    A drug to my heart
    Poison to my soul
    The forbidden edge

    Craving your touch
    Unable to erase your image
    Hearing your voice in my sleep
    Aroused to a pitch, soaked in sweat

    You have another; I have mine
    Wanting too much; taking too little
    Dancing around the chemistry
    Refusing the forbidden fruit

    Leave my soul intact
    My heart untainted
    I cannot survive the high
    The crash will cost too much

    Lena, This poem builds exponentially until the reveal in the last stanza. I liked that you set it up to build momentum this way. The last 2 lines really clenched it for me. ginga

    I can feel the anguish. Anyone who has been tempted to stray will appreciate this.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
