Yet I Thought

When thoughts become obsessive, is my heart being made redundant, laid off, cast off, sent astray recycled pulse rates mere skip hire fodder, atrophied organ sinking into deep morass, panic stricken warning notice object, abject part indigenous scarred, or scared from sudden rupture, once a golden seal enactment, the intensity of love and verdant pathways, but thoughts they zigzag devious, without a leash, curb or rein, they stray like homeless after dark drifters whose piercing blue eyes scupper vagrant mist, but oh those torrid thoughts, of past romantic Himalayan peaks, where nostalgic loitering a back to front yen, currency of tantalising moment, fluctuating in a reckless high stake instrument, cliff top shudder inadvertent plunge, yet each thought I used to frolic with, in meadows of a mythic mystic mind, we’re so glare blind and delusional, dragging me on circuitous dandelion epiphanies, symbolising gurgle stream limestone cave exit, some dual world attachment barely visible, detachment on aloof scorched red wood boundary, thoughts are like those joined at hip beings, feeding off the actual mesmerizing carousel, of fleeting guests and life events, or so it seemed, perhaps it’s just a thought, of all those things that never settle in one spot
