TEXAS (it's all big)

Thoughts flow like honey
From the stinger of a bee
Gelling like a serum
Sapping from a tree

Streaming like a toxin
Bobbing in the lake
Feeding off the algae
Drowning, still awake

Rising metamorphic
Monstering from its grave
Spotted by a tourist
A roll of film, he saved

Developing my thoughts
Still viewers will not budge
“That can’t be what he meant
It's just a blurry smudge!"

*grin* yes, sometimes our thoughts can be a big mess but then sometimes they congeal into something like this poem that brings a smile to someone's face like it did mine. Well done.  

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

nice subject. i think the misinterpretations can be kind of cool.  the other day the lead singer from creed was asked the meaning of a particular song he had written; he declined to give the true meaning and stated that the reason he did not want to do so was that he felt everyone has a different interpretation of the song and he did not want to spoil their meaning.  and of course when the nail is hit on the head...everything is purfect!
