mad yolk

fish like piranhas
swimming inside
devouring this mind
eating out parts
of a soul

as one hides
in the turtle shell
like a wise
old owl
once said
hoot hoot

laughing within
the owl
was mad
in this head
doing a three
sixty turn

one eighty
each way inside
the yolk
sweetly tasting
going dizzy
humpty dumpty
got back
on the wall
smiling back
to himself

I know this feeling well.
I guess I must have had a sense of humour by-pass - because I thought this poem was more sad than funny - a dark poem I would say. Never the less it is a good poem Liam. hug purple heart

Very grim and very stormy write my friend.

But we do feel sometimes when we seem so helplessly attacked by devouring darkness eating us alive..

Take care my friend.. It will get better I am sure...

Love you Liam, my brother.
