Possessed
I am feeling a bit possessed
Pazuzu in my soul
My senses reel, heart distressed
With this rabid lost control
An exorcist will not arrive
To quell this heated rage
In desperation I contrive
To loose it on the page
This instills some sense of calm
But full peace is still at bay
My heart remains a ticking bomb
While I just write and pray
But I have led a sinful life
With demons satisfied
That my urges remain rife
Despite my decent side
Still there remains a distant spark
A glimmer in my night
The stab of evil may be stark
But I follow this hint of light.

Thank you for the kind words and inclusion in your reading list, Hunterapsych. My "ticking bomb" will thus not explode. Hopefully.

You honor me, Sky_dancer. One of my fears is being forgotten here. You have quelled my misgivings. Plus that Poe comparison is more than welcome, and a chuckle.

Bravo, Sir Crow! I do relate to this piece a little too well. I am glad that you see that shaft of light, glimmer of hope, "This little light of mine." This passage encapsulates well the struggle we all have with the dichotomy of our nature, "That my urges remain rife
Despite my decent side"

Crowfly, I hope you do find a light to follow in your words. I especially like the stanza :
An exorcist will not arrive
To quell this heated rage
In desperation I contrive
To loose it on the page
Is it ok if I keep it in my quote collection?
