If a woman possesses manly virtues one should run away from her; and if she does not possess them she runs away from herself.

I just love the fact that a man possesses something that a woman can never understand because we don't have the experiences of it and that a woman possesses something that the man doesn't understand because only she possesses it.

Possessiveness
Every inch of yours
is mine.
Every breath of yours
is mine.
Every space of yours
is mine.
Every move of yours
is mine.
I'm possessiveness
personified!
I need you, own you,
have you, possess you.
Every moment of your life,
all your time...is all mine!
Possessiveness
possesses me...
They say: detachment
is the best policy.
So here I go...
Let me renounce the world
to remain attached to thee!
Possessiveness owns me.
They say: remain aloof
to get detached. Separate
and go your own ways.
What they don't know is
Attachment has nothing
to do with proximity....
Even if you are far across
the seven continents
and the seven seas...
You'll never be able to
disown me!
I'm attached to you.
So are you, to me...
We are partners in possessiveness!
Every smell of yours
I possess
as if like a fragrance
I emanate from thee...
Every sight of yours
I possess, as if
in your eyes, you only
see me...
Possessiveness
possesses us...
like partners in fantasy.
This divine attraction
is the culmination of
love's orgasmic ecstasy!

Love and possessiveness
To love is to possess
But to possess is not to love.
To possess is a persistent calyx
That stays after the love’s exit.
Young couple loves each other.
The aged couple possesses each other.

That Which Possesses My Life
It has been 24 years now,
That I decided to leave behind...
Every possession I had collected,
And had owned.
To be of comfort to someone else.
I had did this before,
Back in 1969.
For a similar reason,
That has blessed me...
With tremendous insight.
And I do..I can understand 'why',
People cling tightly onto what they possess.
It connects them with their existence to life.
And I am glad I've discovered...
I am life!
Not 'that' which I possess.
I awakened with a consciousness to that revelation.
And...
THAT which possesses 'my' life,
Awards me for expressing my gratefulness.
And so blessed I am to be aware of this connection.

The most privileged
Among all, you are the one, only one,
Who spoke less, who showed less,
And who retained still the bridal blush.
Among all, you are the one, only one,
Who possesses all virtues a woman
Should, and to the core is sans flirting.
Among all, you are the one, only one,
Who is reticent in words and deeds,
And is very sensitive to others’ views.
Among all, you are the one, only one,
Who is deft, swift and intelligent,
With a formidable and awful backdrops.
Among all, you are the one, only one,
Who is vamping not but modest,
With a stature, unassailably highest.
Among all, you, such like you, only are,
Whose attention and care I seduced
And in whose heart I took my shelter.
What else, in life, do I want?
Who else could have got that fortune?
It is my pride that still I am in ascent.
Give me or not, your bone and flesh.
Take not from me your love,
For which I have mortgaged my soul.

Color possesses me. I don't have to pursue it. It will possess me always, I know it. That is the meaning of this happy hour: Color and I are one. I am a painter.
He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it possesses.

One Mindset In a Process
You did not discover me.
You chanced upon one of my activities.
One mindset.
One thought process I possess.
I wish to explore and participate,
In this creation.
One mindset.
One thought process I possess.
No deed I do done is for selfishness.
I have no wishes like this to persist.
I've been given gifts I am comfortable with.
You did not discover me.
You chanced upon one of my activities.
And hopefully pieces you bring connect.
For a one mindset...
In a process of thought together,
God possesses.
And 'this' is what has been discovered.

Force is as pitiless to the man who possesses it, or thinks he does, as it is to its victims; the second it crushes, the first it intoxicates. The truth is, nobody really possesses it.

A man’s tendency
Man, you might be richer with wealth
But I am neither poorer,
With my bowl content with contents.
Man, you might be stronger with power
But I am neither weaker,
With my sac’s wants empty.
Why must I fall behind you?
Woman, you might be poorer in looks
I am not richer either
With my kit of virtues torn.
Woman, you are weaker in virtues
I am not richer either
With my bag of conscience worn.
That is why I fall behind you.

Love Is Not Rational
Our love to our children is
Neither in proportion to,
Nor bound by, the care they show
Or the virtues they possess.

No Woman Dont Cry
no woman don cry
know the power of your desire
for eve Adam left paradise
no woman don cry

to create a new world again

you possess a heart little wild
so set it free give it a try....

Man's need of woman
Man secures a woman
To be secure in her.
