Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: It takes its origin from emotions recollected in tranquility.<\/em><\/p>William Wordsworth (1770-1850).<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The story of my life spark<\/em>
Bright like the diamonds in the sky<\/em>
In that juncture of imposed penance <\/em>
Life dawned on me in its fullness<\/em>
The gracious Majesty\u2019s touch<\/em>
Life's granted the awesome wonder<\/em>
Am I obsessed?<\/em>

<\/pre>
In the midst of doubt and limbo<\/em>
Abeyance of soul search and emptiness<\/em>
A song was heard thundering into a timeless void<\/em>
Of man lost to self and none<\/em>
A quest to fulfillment time-stamped like a dodo<\/em>
These revered revelations revealed<\/em>
Of a man who dared tread the sands of time<\/em>
Am I obsessed?<\/em>
<\/pre>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Am I obsessed or deity struck <\/em>
A mortal being created in his Immortal likeness<\/em>
As He posited of me being a god<\/em>
Yet like a man to die empty<\/em>
As the book of times memorial quotes<\/em>
Psalmist psalms in chapter 82 verses 6<\/em>
Of men deposed off the realms on high<\/em>
To their sinful selfish profanity <\/em>
I chose asceticism to revelry<\/em>
Am I obsessed?<\/em>

<\/pre>

Born lost to stooge or to sleuth<\/em>
Tempered by the hot flickering dance of time<\/em>
Devoured of reason to serve not<\/em>
Rise son the spoken word whispered to the soul<\/em>
Above the gaiety and charms of men<\/em>
For your call and time is here<\/em>
To servitude and emancipation of men<\/em>
The call the only way to rise this I heard<\/em>
I am obsessed with this I know now<\/em>?
<\/pre>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n
<\/pre>I am obsessed to give my all <\/em>
I am obsessed to serve now when I can<\/em>
I am obsessed to fail not in my quest<\/em>
I am obsessed with rising to the significance<\/em>
For mortal men seek only success<\/em>
Taken forth and back never to care <\/em>
Of the pain and devious tramp on men<\/em>
I am truly obsessed with not dying an empty soul<\/em>
I am obsessed with decree deep down to the soul<\/em>
Gazed to search the fountain flow of life<\/em>
