time-expressed anguish litters
the playground of the soul
like thought-drops of mental insipidness
raining on life’s window sill

clouds rage and reverberate
with the fugue-fogs of fallacy
crushing contemplations under
the overload of mental anxiety

ambiguity agonizes alacrity,
a speed-bump along the parkway of clarity,
slowing the processes that define the mind
like innate molasses on a cool fall day

bursting with energy
while free-falling from grace
road-side land-minds rip through
a tortured, misplaced soul

revealing a collusion of conflict
from within
leaving in preponderance
the astuteness of doubt

Way cool Steaven, I think but I'm not sure.  No, seriously, I loved this! Got some fantastic lines in there!

I enjoyed your poem very much, Steaven and I noticed the alliteration and assonance.  Whilst being a thinker and an analyser is extremely rewarding, it certainly has its disadvantages, as you have shown so admirably.  However, you have created beauty and sense out of it.
