Swirling tumble,
twirling jumble,
tossed and turned,
and inverted spins.
Misty movements,
of disconcerted eyes.
Roiling thoughts,
bubble through constantly,
adding deeper frets,
into this furrowed brow.
Confusion is but fancy,
as the mind attempts,
its denial fate's aria.
Eternal fall of man,
into depths of unknown.
Dangerous slips haunt
as struggles for solidity,
continue incessantly.
Wishful hopes,
candycane dreams,
replaced by the cacophony,
of ignorant screams.
God it's great,
to be human.

Wow! This was really discombobulated and kinda cute.

Just out of curiosity, is there a subliminal message here?

Alright, I must admit, I liked this one. It was quite amusing, The only thing though, (i always have something to say) is I do not like the 4th line, "and inverted spins" it just doesn't seem to fit. It breaks the thought process....I stopped to try to understand what you meant, and my thoughts were halted. do you understand?

Actually, your thoughts are meant to stop there. This was intended as a rollercoaster ride of the mind and that pause you experienced is the pause after the loops, before going up the ramp for the next drop.

That was a very silly poem I loved it. I didn't understand it but it was great.
