    the flame consumes
    with a passion that demands your patience
    and for ages
    my mind has gone crazy
    or maybe just for hours
    but when you can feel the moment
    it doesnt seem real
    a moment is too long to be feeling like this
    possibilities of perpetual prostitution
    a feeling that I've sold myself to

    the truth appears
    in earthy tones

    my heart pirouettes
    before crashing to the stage
    then the curtain falls

    you want to know where my mind is
    if I knew, I could tell you
    its been wandering for a while
    with no apparent destination or purpose
    just lost in itself
    searching for the end of the maze
    and hitting dead ends
    and stealing "wrong turn" signs

    I've been all fucked up...
    but who's keeping track?

    and this is where I've been
    for the last few days...
    waiting for the rain clouds
    to go away

    you can call it crazy
    but its more like intuition

    and now I'm falling asleep
    with pen in hand
    forgetting why I picked it up in the first place
    a synaptic misfire
    from a mutinous mind...

    from a mutinous mind...}

    i'm not a big fan of poetry in general (a lot of it seems like mental masturbation to me)

    anyways, i liked that
    very nice

    Gorgeous flow and I really enjoyed the thought process… staying within the moment yet taking a full circle, if that makes any sense… and I really really loved the split between the first stanza and the second… like an interrupted thought…. Lovely


    mental masturbation.... haha...

    I really loved this. Been caught in those moments too but never eloquently explained. The last lines were an excellent exclamation mark to it.
