Notes About The Poem

Altered state of consciousness 

Somethings Got a Hold

SOMETHINGS GOT A HOLD

I get this feeling
it takes over, inside
my head spins like
like whirling winds.

I get this look
like being over-took
by alien wordplay-
Somethings got a hold.

Wanting me to say
which way the crow
flies, wanting me
me to tell -how
the brook babbles.

Why the bees scream
why the sunbeams,
why the moon streams
why the daisies die.

I get this sensation
revealing revelations
silent concentration
and then laborious joy
a new poem is born.

Something has come over me
extremely intense
very extraordinary,
dopamine released
awareness increased.

Somethings got a hold
my pen is in control
The secrets that unfold-
Needed to be told-and
now we see reality.
