Possessed!

The poem:

She sits there solitary
Leant on the wall
Her mind is wandering slowly
But her face shows nothing at all

Solitary she is, she thinks
But she is not, she would never find
For my eyes, catch her every blink
Flashes on her all the time

She laughs, all eyes on her
While they look at her sides
I stare straight deep in her
I search her deep inside

She stands in-group talking
And her hand slips in his
My eyes can't help missing
What others eyes may miss.

She goes with him, in and out of places
Places known but unexplored like desires
She often fills his empty spaces,
 Her heat of pleasure sets me on fire

Her filling of his empty spaces
Leaves me gasping for breath
Though air is all around me
But I feel suffocated to death

She comes in late deliberately
And soon after, he follows
I just sit watch and can’t stop
From wanting to put him to gallows

He carelessly touches her she tingles
 She tingles and I shudder
He caress his way in to her arms
As I contemplate a murder
 
 She talks till late and she sleeps
I exist in darkness of her covers
All the words she whispers and speaks
Are what I wanted to hear since ever

She speaks not to me but to him
In darkness when she thinks, she’s alone
  She doesn’t realizes in darkness of night
I wander by her, in her home

She knows and is aware of my presence
She talks to me sometimes, and smiles
Next, she walks off with him in my ‘absence’
Leaving me betrayed and hurt every time

You would believe she is possessed
Possessed by me, my spirit, my soul
Followed by me in her daily journeys
Haunted in nights by my ghost

But she is ignorant of me, for when she cried
For when she was in tears and in pain,
I was torn apart and hopelessly I tried
But I didn’t matter, my efforts went in vain

I always knew, but then best I realized
The limits of my physicality
My spirit could search her with my mind
But I never existed for her in reality

 I am real, tangible and destructible
I’m no ghost spirit or wandering soul
I don’t haunt places, follow people
I smile, I cry, and I laugh like all

And it is I, who is possessed
Possessed by her all this time
She has become a part of me
Of my thoughts of heart and plans of mind

And it is she, who has possessed me
Ruled my heart and my head
Has kept me awake nights after nights,
Just feeling her by my bed. 

 The poet: The purpose of this blog is not to blog my accomplishments, which is in reality equivalent to nothing. The purpose of this blog (one of them) is to blog my journey. And here is one attempt which I am not happy with. Yet I share with you all for every effort is another step in my journey. I, to begin with, failed to convert the idea I had in to reality convincingly. One of my good friend of the undergraduate college days clearly and quite correctly pointed out that it does not feel that the "I" in the poem haunts the girl and it is only through  the lines of "You would believe she is possessed...Haunted in nights by my ghost" that the idea is forcibly introduced in the minds of reader. The other thing I am guilty of is that I read an absolute sensational poem by someone in one of the social communities and I was so much affected by one of the lines "I contemplate a murder" that I could not keep it behind. I may have spoiled the beauty of the line in the process. I would have loved to given him the credits but somehow I am unable to locate the poem and the poet. I will try and see if I can find it. There are a number of other failures in this work of mine and others that I posted. As i went down the memory lane I found that my poems "Unwanted...she lies there" "Power" and few other being heavily criticized. I admit these poems never matched the standard that these guys appreciated. I feel dejected some how for these futile efforts for all I get out of it is failed poetry... Poetic is it?
