Mind Full, Less Mind

I walk across myself, In daily grace, Lacking that which legs embrace. I bounce. And trounce, And pounce upon, My mind as if, as if, I’ve been pronounced. Aching for a feeling felt, By those before me freed, By shadows shaking in cerebral leaves, Melting nature, neither knelt nor creed. Undulating evanescence of feeling for a now, Halt your breath or lack thereof, For you I’ll heed a bow. Seeking sorrow I wish for not, Though thoughts seek for your brush, Sucking me into the rush, Of mindlessness I’ve fought. Always fleeing the fear of me; The one that has no locus, Ricocheting nervous flux, Into a constant lack of focus. Rhyme, no, Not time, Nor dime, Hidden in a pig, Whose aching effort of swollen holes, Is but a brief and shameful gig. Despite the lack of spoken spree, Or glee within a trance, A chance to free the me in thee, Has saved me in your glance. Hopeless, a joke of hocus pocus, Abra go grab the macabre who woke us, For without wishes I’ve only you, Which make me less than two.

Beautiful, profound poetry! Ain't that the truth--if not for others touching us where we itch but cannot reach ourselves, life would be far less compelling. This is great poetry!

Exceptionally strong poem. So many memorable thought provoking lines like "a chance to free the me in thee." Superb rhyme throughout. Powerful personal expression. So moving in each + every stanza.
