Bare Is Sin

My mind insane,
From the taste of bare sin
Yet my mouth is that of a sheath,
Lying Underneath, My words hidden as the sharp sword.
Cutting away at the sane mind’s,
Known sin, for a pain/wound not felt,
Cannot be healed or understood by a skin unfelt by its touch.
For 
One cannot dream,
If the world never sleeps.

Your mind is a mime recounting over and over the the sinful, sensory perceptions that it is receiving. The skin is a subliminal participant. It is aware of the cathartic pain, but not the cause or instigator. Your deep insights stoked my subliminal cognition. Is the wicked heart the wicked instigator? Deep thinking voodo indeed! Read my Id Quid Pro and give me your feedback. a102866 aka Stephen Parker
