Exploding Thoughts

by Sylvia   Mar 30, 2009


Collections of memories, emotions, reflections,
reside in the psyche, "an immaterial part of a person,
the actuating cause of an individual life".
Catalyst for noise, static that reverberates, echoes,
collisions within the walls of a cranium.

Thoughts or voices, is there a difference?
Uncertainty, my head will surely explode.
Were they bombs and bullets,
persons in close proximity would be obliterated,
slaughtered by shrapnel,
debris of my psyche as it implodes,
then burst through the skull that confines.

Quietness, a brief respite, a fleeting affair,
one that is relished, savored while it endures.
Senses honed to perfection, anticipating the next onslaught.
Sleep, an illusive object, just out of reach,
transient, passing by once more.
A fretful soul weeps, bestow serenity, tranquility tonight.
Hush the thoughts and voices.

    As I read this I felt like there is war raging
    inside of me. Thoughts can be powerful as
    well as destructive..I like this piece.

    This was so unusual to see a piece as dark as this.. but I can relate to the feeling of your thoughts jumbled in your mind and you feel like its just going to explode.. I think lots of us can relate to that feeling.. you did a great job at this, and did well with that thought/feeling of our thoughts and how we sometimes think our mind is just going to explode..

    Well done,

    5/5.

    Silvia,

    This is something I can relate to. I have a very busy mind as well and often it feels like my head will explode. The only way to avoid things from getting out of hand is going to the beach and walk barefoot on the sand, because that draws out the negative energy in my body. If a beach is not within reach, you can also walk barefoot on the grass or just the ground. It is important to be connected to earth ( literaly) to regain peace of mind.
    A very unusual poem by you, I hope you are ok!

    *hugs*

    5/5 Ingrid

    Wonderful job on this poem. Sometimes when sitting alone....all we do is think so many things racing through the mind. Restless thinking keeping us from sleep. Looking for some kind of release.
    Enjoyed the read
