Behind the Eyes

BEHIND THE EYES

RESTLESS THOUGHTS LIKE A CHILD’S SPINNING TOP.

CAUGHT BETWEEN SEED THOUGHTS AND REALITY.

THEY SURFACE UNDIDDEN; WITH PAST AND FUTURE

EVENTS. AS THEY’RE DEMANDING TO BE ADMONISHED.

IDEAS FOR SALE ON FIRST IMPULSE,

YET IDLE: THEY DRAIN ENERGY MEANT FOR FOCUS.

WHILE STEALING BRAINPOWER, WITH HOLLOW

WORDS: RESTLESS A NEED TO BE AFRIMED.

THEY SURGE LIKE A DRUG IN THE BLOODSTREAM,

AN ELECTRIC GYPSY DANCING FROM EAST,

TO THE WEST, NORTH, AND SOUTH, LOST IN AN 

ENDLESS LOOP OF SELF-IMPOSED CRITICISM.

THIS NEVER-ENDING OF WHISPERS AND DOUBTS.

A MENTAL STORM GATHERS:

BUILDING AGITATION BRICK BY BRICK, 

BY THE UNSEEN: SHAPING OF THOUGHTS.

BONDED FIELDS DRIFTING TOWARD THE INEVITABLE.
