Brain Synapse

I will dance on the table till dawn
while a myriad of thoughts
twirls twists turns
inside my mercurial mind
I will touch the sun
without benefit of gloves
and when the inevitable blisters break
I will scream and writhe gleefully
at this proof of my existence.

Very nice!!
Maybe my job makes me read too much into your poetry?

This is excellent. Love your metaphor and the touch of humor within a serious contemplative mood.

Heather,
I just read this again. I gained more the second time. This is so compelling, you need to have this one published.

This is excellent!!! Well written, I love it!
Laura M. Nov 13, 2008, 9:58am EST
I love the abandon in this, the sensory startle
that is tickled into mortality
while freeing soulvoice to
whirl with glee. Touching the sun without
gloves is a marvelous tease.
