Obession vs Adoration

Obsession

I can’t tell why I like them

It’s an indescribable need

It’s a burning fire

I fixate on little details

I can tell you everything about them

I don’t want anyone else near them

I know every appearance

I see their latest movie but I don’t remember the plot

I threaten others if they violate their space

But if someone else comes close better to make them feel insecure

Because I feel insecure myself

But they’re insecure right…

I swear they’re winking right at me…

I think I’ll go see them

It’s not like I don’t know where they are…         

Adoration

I love the things you do  

You make me better everyday

Learning more about the best you are,

Helps me discover 

More about the person I want to be

Exploring new avenues of learning,

Expanding my mind

By the breadth of you

No longer needing to hide

The light in you brings out the light in me

I read an article today about celebrity obsession and thought I would do a side by side comparision poem.  The difference between the two, in my mind, one is about how “I feel”, the other is about how the celebrity influences the writer.  Just my little contribution to the debate about Celebrities and obsession.

A Little Thing

So if you’re here tomorrow

Will I be here waiting?

Can we play connect the dots?

What if we match?

Too many times I’ve been left

With an empty bottle and a empty heart

Your time has almost come

So have you

Have you anything to wear to church in the morning?

The priest will be surprised at your appearance

Are we really arguing over inches here?

A little bit too far to the left

And it will all be over

You know where to find me

When you are ready

The papers will be pleased

They will have something to go on

Leads are ever so important

It is better than arguing

The land has been settled

Let’s strike while the time is right

Details can be settled later

Time to straighten up and fly right

We can fly together into the sun

So long a time and so many words

To say a little thing
