Jewels of Romance/Jewels of Romance/Obsession

by George Faunce Whitcomb

OBSESSION

The appeal of wondrous ages hidden deep within your eyes;
The million rubies ablaze on your lips seem to tyrannize
My very soul, like a subtle obsession which terrifies.

An obsession persistent, enthralling, a force which enchains
Ev'ry part of my being to yours, and with its might sustains
My longing to know the strength of your passion before it wanes.
