Unanswerable.
Is it love or obsession
which takes an affair into the realms
of unconventional ?
Steamy with untellable
dreams sensual secrets may achieve
extra dimensions.
By tossing objections
into ether's vast furnace as it heats
to melting
and destroys any sense may we then
name it obsession ?
Or would real love
yield to the inaudible call of sexually
high-charged atmospheres ?
Could it stay sane
yet intoxicated if sipping allure from
the veins of surreal ?
When a sensation
races to sample stimulation again and
is hypnotically drawn
to lust's famous narcotic is that which
remains just frustration ?
Is it merely obsession
or could love be labelled unanswerable
and bliss masquerading ?
Is this I have phrased
quite understandable, or shall I write
it a clearer way ?

Ah - - you were spot on with your thought re. memory my friend.......... day is over now here and sending you a big thank you for your kind visit and comment.
Oh it's clear enough Fay, for it is enigmatic.
My personal feelings are that life alone whilst satisfying (if you are of the right mind) it is somewhat hum-drum without the sharing. When love happens along it is such a lightening bolt of pleasureable contrast that we give it everything.
Some have obsession and hanker after it which is dangerous.
The fact is that most relationships go wrong. The older we get the more 'wise' we CAN be, but do we act that way? Well that depends upon how sweet the fruit and how hungry we are at harvest time i guess.
Love remains magic and invites us to be young of spirit, careless and over indulgent. In a hum-drum existence i say.... "Bring it on!"
Thank you so much for your views on love and its magic despite the passing of years - - I agree that being young at heart is the secret so with you I repeat - - "Bring it on" - - a super comment as always my friend.
Fay, you have named it well, and also framed it well.
Love - Lust - Hormones - Obsession
And you dear Suresh have picked out the defining words in this verse - - many thanks and glad you liked the read.
What is love, but obsession? There is no masquerading in love. Everything is exposed, no secrets, no lies, no misunderstandings or it ends. Then and only then is love true, and to get there one must be obsessed. Can one live without air? - No, without water?- No, without Nourishment? - No, without Love? - Yes, so it must be an obsession. Love borders on insanity and yet is considered normal. Yes, the world is full of crazy people. Maybe real and true Love is what keeps the world from becoming a lunatic asylum.
A wonderful poem Fay, loved all of it. Saving it for future considerations. - Phil A.
I agree Phil that love is obsessive and can feel like insanity - - so pleased you enjoyed the piece and many thanks for saving these poetic phrases in your list of favourites.
