Under the surface, within the mind
A connection forms synapses fire
Neurons trigger sensory overload
Of which we never tire

Physical suffering and pleasure
All begin deep within the brain
Letting loose the sensual flood
That comes like electric rain

The gates opened, levees breached
As the torrents crash and cascades
Finding all the pathways
That between us our minds have made

Impulses given to highest peak
Off the charts and then the currents flow
To calm the tides in lowest ebb
We see all, in each mind’s afterglow

Jer, I love this:

"Letting loose the sensual flood
That comes like electric rain"

Fine write, as always.

I really love the thought of "electric
rain" (laughs - I had to come back and fix "electric rain" ~ I had "electric brain". Mine is not wired at this time of day) - and I really like this poem.
