***** of a time
Screw this world
Corrupted in a mind
Whirling in a cesspool
Of self doubt

In the diarrhea of my thinking
My mind throws up nothing
But garbage that has been recycled
By other poets
Accepting it in appreciation

Virgin territory is a wasteland
For it has all been explored before
No hidden universe lies
Behind these telescoping eyes
Only in my dreams lies fantasies

In the darkness of my dance
Lies a world colorless to the blind
Having no sound for the deaf ears
Sensing nothing but total voids
Stone cold to the heart

But what drives me
Is a wish to be unique
To find that special feeling
That will carry me in appreciation
In the loving arms of thought

Or am I condemned
To my own self imprisonment
To an ever closing ending
To a chapter of time
With nothing in between

I wish I could spark
In the static electricity
That magnetic forces
Are attracted to positively
In dynamic storms of thoughts

Creating such a storm
That people would take notice
And take cover in my words
Shedding teardrops of rain
Cleansing their spirits of depression

My only hope is that somebody
Someone will stumble onto my thoughts
And create a new universe within them
To explore their new trails of that beauty
Creative thinking having been reborn

You have expressed thoughts well within this
poem...and frustration as well...or at least
I sense that...

Nothing wrong with this piece...

I am sorry I did not know that the B** word was a cuss word especially the way I used it to describe a hard time. I don't cuss because it is meaningless. I use the h** word as a reference point and it is only bad if you tell someone, they should check it out.

Wow, you made me very ITCHY for using the B word. Sorry You can erase this line I just needed a laugh today. One of them poetic moods you know!!
