A HYDRAULIC EMOTION

 

 

A hydraulic emotion

                     carries me

          thru the lush forest

 

                 I soar thru

             a kaleidoscope

          of ambivalent thoughts

 

Turquoise despair

perpetuates a flood

of disillusioned doubts

 

“Shall I surrender?”

 

             Never!!

 

Crimson jealousy

incites a rage

of brutal actions

what could have

             caused all this?

 

Assimilate these emotions

             into a spectrum

                of color variations

 

           and we find

              electric currents

 

       repeating our

           every nod and utterance

 

A slow repetition

             of this despair

           called love

 

Love, motive for murder

             motive for calls

      beyond good and evil

 

It inspires and creates

             leads us

              down the path

          of self creation

 

quells anger

incites rage

inspires compassion

encourages greed

 

            The ambivalence of love

                         is

      the affliction and glory

                 of human life

 

It’s lovely in pink

            when the skies

     call out for me

             to follow

 

I can not

       for I am limited

 

             caught manifesting

       myself

    in mirrored images

 

            of my own ego
