PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

for reasons unknown the mind allows itself to

become disorientated and scared

and but for the briefest of moments the seasons become

frantically altered and partially impaired

during such an occurrence I welcome outside company

into my dank yet musty laird

to give new viewing of before unseen feelings

that I have previously spared

in time I'll ultimately adjust and feel fine

though around me now these sensuously

suffocating emotions wind about me and entwine

you'll witness how creativity gets pulled from

the roots in the mutated mind and gets unjustly

turned

its like the unfair advantage the bird has over

the poor unsuspecting worm

when making the call to heads or tails

the entire system slowly but beautifully burns

the sense of touch then prevails

and unlicensed dignity wreaths and squirms in its

uncalled pleasure as the debatable emotions

involved iron out the finest but smallest details

these mentioned doubts have been churning for so

long now in my absolute maddened mind

with such revolving going on around one another

its difficult to locate a small plateau of peace

so I can quietly unwind

last night not for want of trying but I couldn't

catch even a fist full of minutes on sleep

my soul must have known I had words trapped in me

that until morning wouldn't so kosher like keep

so I was rudely thrown from my reverie once again

into a depression so very deep

my heart thumped to a bizarre rhythm

as my eyes forced the issue on the tears

to generously weep

from this sickness that spills into my soul

I learn

I teach

and eventually

I reap

now, to me , that's a real goal........
