Stream of Consciousness

my stream of consciousness flows over the smooth at times jagged pebbles of my day, it grows into a torrent of thoughts rapidly hitting against the boulder of your heart every waking conscious thought without a reason or rhyme or any sort of organized meaning flows to one destination you nothing else every other event each and every happening somehow connects to you the turbulent or serene flow of these thoughts go how, I don't know to you what can I do this babbling cacophony of sound this disjointed attempt at existential reality never shapes into formal thought only you I wake, I sleep in you my dreams are devoid of images only your eyes your face no other trace my consciousness is you this stream this reality these toughts would cease to flow if there weren't your inner glow Just so you know you can bathe get soaked to the inner core you can dip in for more bring that narcissism to the fore I adore you my stream of consciousness carries nothing but you Eileen Manassian

There are many narcissists in this world hiding behind the mask of kindness, here you have shown that love is all encompassing, and we can hope, one day that such love makes us all better persons! As usual such a captivating expressive poem!

I think having permission within a relationship to explore our dark and light natures provides, the contrast in which our beauty resides.

I feel your words Eileen.. This is how I feel about my beloved wife... I do like the penultimate stanza, maybe not the term narcissism, but I suppose you are giving him permission to show his ego... A beautiful poem of dedication and devotion to a loved one...

Thank you, SO. Yes, Narcissism is negative. I wanted to use the word to show that I give him permission to be that way. It borders on idolatry, in a poetic sense. Thanks for your visit.
