Tangled Webs

Should we write in form to make a shape
Or let our minds run free, associate?
Such tangled webs within the mind  are draped

Oh, to run as free as antelopes
But from sharp tigers noone will escape
Can we  control , disarm  within a shape?

Love’s enacted falsely , making rape
Inside our  hearts shall we recover hope?
Such tangled webs the curtained mind  creates

Round the  marbled minds we  half dazed traipse
Wherever we go hunting, we’re too late
Can we  control  our fear  within a shape?

Collapsing faith cracks , can we concentrate
Or  from the deal , do we dissociate?
Such tangled webs  of mind  make ripe our hate

Now sex  compels but will can’t procreate
Can kindness smile  and friendship instigate?
Should we write in form when we love shape?
Our mingled maps  of  mind   might mangle   fate

Katherine, this line alone had me smiling. "Such tangled webs the curtained mind creates" This is so true; the mind is curtained to the point, oftentimes I have no idea what is being created until it has been finished. Nice one.
