Voyeur

Mind's thinking ever watchful,
ever wary conceiving
conspiracy behind
lies spewed for consumption
to calm
to placate
to wait
for twenty years to pass
and Truths then revealed
after many deaths and
the passing voyeur vanished.

Mental disembowelment
requiring a surrendered
collective consciousness
to numb
to deny
to writhe
as the next tempest arises
unconcerned with
integrity or history or
the voyeur who reappears
and sneers
as the loss of innocence
consumes a mind thinking.

No, Sue, I was looking only at my mirror, not yours or anybody elses, I'm not a voyeur, you know. LOL As to coming back with more writes, how I wish it's that easy. Nothing's coming out of this old brain. I've lost it, I'm afraid, and when it will come again I don't know, all I see is a blank wall. Regards, Fred

Whoa. You have my undivided attention...why is Truths spelled with a capital T? In my own writing the reason is spirit based. Just curious if you're thinking something similar. -Yoni
