Poetry: Mind Afflicted
Oh my ignoble mind
why must you be so
rueful-this sorrowful pity
abject-I am not contemptible
brooding-unkind contemplations.
Oh my heinous conscience
dare not
mock me-oh the cruelty
taunt me-cuts so deep
bleed me-I flow dying.
Oh my callous intellect
why must you yet
scorn me-is praise so ugly
castigate me-the pain beguiling
disparage me-oh your brutality!
Oh my derisive aspect
dare not
deceive me-illusions prison
betray me-my loyalty shaken
delude me-my truth so naked.
Do not do so!
Oh my afflicted mind
why must you
transcend my heart-this raw love
overtake the purpose-all consuming
of my fierce quest-aching in urgency.
Even still with
scant recompense
I die a thousand deaths
in your ideations.
Wow. One of the most striking pieces you’ve written I think. I’m saddened to hear you’re distraught today… hoping that writing is bringing you some freedom from your mind xxx
Aesthetic and intellectual. It’s the writing of a brilliant mind, if you must know.
tortured more like it
Tormented thoughts spill into syllables
I’m just so distraught today I feel as though my soul will shatter into two…
Happens. Just be. It will be okay.
Poignant and gorgeous! Ahhh! ❤️
Thank you. You are one of the few people who actually bother commenting. Your always kind impressions mean a lot to me. Sometimes, even though I write for me, you want to hear voices from across these great divides. Thank you
It is my pleasure truly! I love those that take a risk to exposed their greatest vulnerability…which is truth! Of themselves and their life… the ugly, not just the prettiest parts! There is a gift in being so opened…🙏🏻❤️
Well, there’s certainly no flies on me lol. Nor you. I am glad I found you and your poetry. You give me solace in my darkest angst. You recharge my spirit when it is dull. You ignite my imagination, when I forget the beauty and pain that is all around us.
Wow! That is so lively to hear! If my words only ever come just bring a something of beauty to another than let the words. Big ((( hugs ))) friend! ❤️
