Oh YUCK!! If ONLY I could write!! lol Vreni Confusion Desperately churning, it whirringly blends The heartstrings of reason it plucks and offends Leaving but chaos and discord behind, Bringing more darkness to Justice blind. Its presence is feared by the best of men, The greatest and worst of Intellectual sin. Inconspicuously materialized, yet easily discerned, Logic and rationale sacrificially burned. By nature it shows no preference in choice, It surrounds with its essence, steals the voice. Paralyzing the mind, it slowly gains control Arresting the heart mid-beat, then the soul. Replacing acumen with its own creation It injects spite, rage, bitter isolation. Inverting personalities, it now commands Complete attention and energy it demands. The cognitive mind brightly explodes, tender Nobly self-destructs rather than surrender. But the remaining shreds nourish the intruder not, In it’s own destructive trap it is finally caught. Losing its grip on the slippery rocks of sanity, It returns its victim to the arms of humanity. |

what an absolutely beautiful portrait of confusion! amazing writing. i loved the flow, and you used some uncommon words without breaking stride. quite a feat, in both content and rhythm. Everyone's got their demons. We all got somethin' to atone for. |

This is a long, very thought out piece. I loved the verbiage, all the while keeping it in step. It flowed well. Lovin it... you can definitly write.

This got me thinking, but I'm.....confused. Not really I love this poem! I could just see this happening: "Paralyzing the mind, it slowly gains control Arresting the heart mid-beat, then the soul" Great writing here, quit being so hard on yourself! |
