Collective Obsessions

Trapped incandescent swirls;

like raptly churning ocean waves.

Through milky, translucent pearls

and collective misty mind caves.

Kith and kin disavow as one;

twelve decades and seven of obsessive love.

No one has forgotten, and no one has won;

and yet forever dwell spellbound thereof.

The poem "Collective Obsessions" also appears in the fiction novel Megan's Legacy, which is the eighth and final book in the Collective Obsessions Saga by Deborah O'Toole writing as Deidre Dalton. Megan's Legacy is scheduled for release by Club Lighthouse Publishing in late 2013.
