Emoting

A concentrated burst of contentment

A sharp dip in complacency

A rending of the vessel that holds emotion intact

Through the cracks bleeds despair

Euphoria

And then apathy.

Thoughts only obfuscate the process

Muddling reactions

And affects.

The emotions are raw

Untainted

Unavoidable.

My mind is not my own to control

It drifts fancifully through the seas of capricious feeling

Leaving me in the clouds or broken on the earth

When it deems fitting.

[Coyote Poetry]

Amazing journey in your words. Every line create thoughts and reaction. So many lines I like in this poem. This is my favorite kind of poetry. Allow the reader to fall into the words and think. No weakness in the outstanding poem.
