Analysis of Obsession
Vehemently staring
Across the great divide,
It seems I can’t forget
You’ve been ensconced and still abide.
Deep in my preoccupation,
Runs a gentle stream
Of memories and visions of empurpled horizons,
Oceans geysers teem!
Calm enters and remains
Breezes gently blow,
Orange and golden birds appear,
Reminiscent of halo’s glow!
