synapses of the mind
like spasms unbound
pain-ted in harshness
spackled in darkness

canvass portrays the yearnings of the soul
bright flashes of light in cadences of coal

spark-fires illuminate the space-black contained
in cellars of thought-birth held in the mains
of emerging doubts by mem'ries reminisced
expressionless formations first formed

war-cries unspoken in shouts of the deep
wordless emotions from caverns that keep

the unsaid in silence...the silent unsaid

To me this screams; repressed memories.

and I loved it.

I really like the final line...my own synapses will be playing with that idea, sometime in the future.

Susan,
I am so glad it spoke to you like this...what I love about poetry most is the readers' interpretations...thank you for being so kind in your remarks

Midnite,
while it does not deal with memories per se, I can surely see how it could.  Truthfully, it is something far more dark and sinister (at least, in my eyes, it is).  It is my feeble attempt to describe a physical seizure condition I battle from time to time, sometimes not very successfully...thanks for reading and reviewing

V B,
in its context, that line may very well be the cruxt of the whole matter--thank you for noticing and commenting
