Deep Thoughts

Missing image

I bow my head deep in thought
As my mind crawls through
All my discordant emotions
Struggling to pull up from
The bottomless pit

Drowning in the darkness
Gasping for air trying
Not to drown as I try
To grab the life raft
That I can't get a tight grip on

Slipping through my fingers
Seeing light when I look up just fading
As I fall deeper within the ominous hole
My mind wails while trying to fight its own war
Armed at combat eager to call truce

My emotions sit at the table of council
Doing their own litigations
Day in and day out
With no break for lunch
And many times missing dinner

    Isn't that you?

    The picture does look like like. Nice presentation as a total package: picture, type colors and poem. It is good to see you grwoing and doing some risk taking with what look like an emotional insight into yourself. A poet needs to examine him/herself to find what motivates and makes them feel. A well done poem, Hot Chocolate.

    This was good, but I do not feel like the last two lines do this poem justice.

    To me this is a very strong insight into how emotions can pull us down into depression and no matter how hard we fight, we feel that we are sinking further.

    Good write.

    I like the concept but the sentence structure kind of left me back tracking to make sure I got the meaning right. Good write, thank you and good luck.

    Discordant emotions happen too often making thinking and decision making difficult. This is a wonderful poem and like it very much.

    Holy Moly~

    Oy~ I thought I might have commented on this Where did my noggin go
    Powerful Voice Beautiful and Love how You versed this~

    My emotions sit at the table of council
    Doing their own litigations
    ...grabs Spirit hard and Excellently worded
    I imagine there are others who could relate for the message hits hard~
    speaks volumes
    For some reason I am nudged to say-
    there are times the belly goes hungry and a rumbling could be heard but when Light is inhaled- it satiates to the point of fullness-
    it is not greedy to bathe in the Light- especially when You deliver the Gift to others-
    so they themselves do not go hungry

    Thank You for sharing Your Heart and Spirit~
    Many blessings to You in all You do Sweet Soul
    Best wishes in the contest too
    with much love & light~ Desire~*~

    Intense!

    An extremely intense probing of
    the inner sanctum. Girl breathe.lol
    Seriously though, this was a kind of
    tug of war with ones self.
    A rapid refiring of thoughts that
    seem to ignite a lot of drama.
    Very interesting indeed

    Now this is the woman i see within!
    Why have you been hiding all of this time?
    Behind your sexuality.
    I am so glad to see that you know you are worth much more than that.

    you have a lovely group of stanzas of five lines each, strictly adhered to as shown by the first line of stanza three enjambed from stanza two ... symmetry is not always necessary in poetry and I think this poem would be even stronger without the enjambment, for this would allow a space extra, for the reader, and give great emphasis to the important third stanza ... but that is a matter of taste, only, as the enjambed line is actually the root of the poem ... i find I can read this backwards with practically no change in flow or meaning and that is remarkable.

    I thought your last two lines were a nice shift in tone and were amusing in a wonderful, dark sort of way, complete with double entendre

    this is a quite wonderful poem ... i read it four times, and found that with each reading I found a tone and beauty very much like that of the pic ...

    nice
