Whining it's high-pitched squeal,
   (caused by rusted cogs and clockwork)
My mind reveals a thought,
Soon (as the sound nears deafening),
An idea appears,
Radiating with it's own energy,
Working it's way through my brain,
It illuminates upon others...
plans...goals...dreams...
Have these been locked away from me?
How were they so cleverly hidden,
Within my own mind even?
It seems as though my worst enemy
  is me.

Yes.....and the hardest one to be protected
from.  Powerful thoughts and you give reason
to pause and think...I enjoy poetry that
does that...so thank you!

Your thoughts are so unique!  Hardly rusty, but I know what you mean!  hehe  This was very interesting - I too, struggle with all the ideas and dreams within my head.  Maybe that's why I could relate so well to this piece.  Once again, so much said in so few lines...(Shoot a little W-D40 in your ear, it might help!)     It amazes me how you get so much across in such short writings!  Bravo!

I enjoyed this... a very creative expression of enlightenment. Do keep writing
