Possession

A stoic heart changes paths and sets its goals on owning love. After all, it's just another emotion, right? Written in descending syllables.

 

Possession

 

 

9) Love meant nothing to my stoic heart,

 

8) When your lingering eyes met mine.

 

7) You claimed my gaze, my brief soul.

 

6) I have just surrendered.

 

5) Now, you hold my chains,

 

4) Amused, you wait;

 

3) Unknowing,

 

2) You are

 

1) Mine.

I wrote this before joining this community and wanted to post something up a.s.a.p! I'm really not a poem writer, but occasionally I do it to clear my mind and just relax from too much writing.

Interesting dynamic there. The speaker being the one chained and surrendered, and yet the subject is the one owned. I like it. ^^
