The Mind Opens and the Throat Closes

My interpretation shifts My heart moves into my throat I'm choking on my beating heart Do I forget what I'm told Or remember what I feel Over sensitive that's all Leave intuition at the door Just know it's a busy day The mood that floats and smothers Is down to that Let time pass Let time pass Let time pass I shouldn't hold my breath whilst saying that I'll be dead by the time I can breathe again

feel something horrific and dangerous to read the poetic expression; quite excitement to read this

Sometimes it's interesting to record something in real time as when an emotion or event is recalled it's rarely got the same power and it can help me to reflect.

I love this title and the energy of this poem. I suppose you are sensitive as your poetry is very emotive and uniquely passionate. Great write.

Thanks Karen - I am a bit too attuned to bad feeling sometimes. I'm in work now so will snap out of it. Thanks for your comment
