Mind Game

heavy confused dreams filled my night with restlessness subconsciously awake endlessly the mind wonders every thought held as captive unrelenting fear the mind takes over grandmaster of illusion and I the pawn of the game a mental torture I mount my attack, countered I awake, checkmate

Love your approach to this contest and form. This is truly a remarkable write on the Mind "grandmaster of illusion", and you the "pawn of the game". Beautiful details and imagery to an magnificent poem!

Hi! my new friend, I have enjoyed your write. You have penned well your thought. I am touched with the lines 'the mind takes......of the game' and 'a mental .......checkmate'. Thanks for sharing. bl
