My Obsession
My
obsession.
A king as never before.
I convey full charm, full power.
Your night is my life.
Yet,
I am Gibson’s “Venice Decompressed”...
A mere illusion of past laurels.
Expositions in pretense – from a young fool,
I had no life before.
And
this is what is most ironic.
When I made a life of my obsession,
There was no life for me.
But curiously, I was happy.
No
longer do I try to follow such trappings...
My hands are to my side,
And I ask, “Is this life?”
And my obsession comes back to haunt me.
