Intoxication To My Greed!
Intoxication to my greed,
Somehow you have sown the seed…
Your chair rests near or apart;
I know how much I bleed.
Matter of time or circumstance…
I don’t judge this distance,
All I know is my need,
And it is you who does feed,
Intoxication to my greed.
My apology had nailed the pursuit,
And I slowly distanced away…
With no regret albeit with many,
There were but reasons astute;
Every day I think in my own solitude,
If it’s an ego or it’s my attitude…
But the poison of her very fruit,
Mesmerizes me and it does lead;
Intoxication to my greed.
A spray of the incense…
Flavor of fruity mango,
It scales and subjugates me
Weaving magic of hallucination!
I admit my senses lose
I confess my emotions ooze,
Whenever the mist you wear…
I eat the mango and literally read,
Intoxication to my greed.
For that interval of time,
I am lost in the divinity of paradigm;
My mind scheming and seeking,
Curiosity erupting but no speaking…
I wish to eat the mysterious incense,
Alas! It is but just a fragrance…
The wearer is no match to it,
The aroma holds in its ambit,
Intoxication to my greed.
Tussle with the owner of spirits,
But she couldn’t deliver me my choice;
I tread my own way yet to find though,
Who am I to raise my voice?
A desire somewhere within me,
A need to know the name…
Name of the perfume she wears,
With which she attracts and also scares,
Intoxication to my greed.

This poem is fun to whisper. I enjoy the refrain of the title at the end of each stanza, makes your poem read like an incantation.
