Poetry: Those Thoughts, Bitter and Sweet
Those thoughts, bitter and sweet
Can wholly come to life
When the world is at sleep
Indulgence of one's vested luxury
Of subliminal reverie
Delivering much needed respite
In the solitude of an enclosed room
In the stillness of the night
In the tranquility of the cozy gloom
In the shield of the fading light
Every dream spurts forth as a geyser
Free from the clasp of restrain
To the fore, those secret longings and desires
Trust better invested in the saints
Their fearsome shadows lest frightening than the world's two-faced games
A vacation from walking that odious wire
From reclines on the corner settee
From musings at the window seat
From the shade of the cogitation tree
From beneath the warmth of a favorite quilt
Sprouting forth a menagerie
Emotions hailing from the deep
Eclipsing visages of reality
When those thoughts take on a life
For to evade and flee their bitter strife
To drift on the ripples of the silver sea
Where a heartbeat does not hold
Where the trappings of propriety has no weight
Where a breath is free to retract or flow
Where all mien is in the drawer laid
Reminiscing the rainbow's rays in singular layers
Dwelling on notes which sent the heart a-flutter
Mesmerized by the joy derived, as atop a pinnacle
All strength offered over to Imagery
To deliver the products of Ecstasy
To fill my sanctum, oh what a pleasure to savor
Those thoughts, bitter and sweet
They are mine to behold forever.
