Albatross(Anxious Swells)
what have I forgotten?
soaring sails, and rippling entrails,
seep across my closed eyes,
in the stillness of my laughter,
I coaxed a pain of unimaginable things
set to wander upon thoughts;
that hold my heart captive
race into happy dances;
of my neurological musings -
my mind…
wondering into playing fields,
they trample hidden attacks
formed within this brain -
pleasurably,unpleasurable
sneaking phantom whispers;
of past aches[raging future pangs]
quandaries playing karmic-type worlds,
digging(dug) similar dreams -
unspoken, utterly exposed,
standing still,
same exact place -
what have I forgotten?
Wow. I’m not even sure where to begin. That piece was so good. What have I forgotten? For me has a special meaning as PD robs me of my abilities I’m not even sure about what I don’t know anymore because my short term and recall processing centers are fried. So wow. Cool words.
Namaste

Benjamin that is awesome to hear! I have been pondering the word albatross for several days. It was not until yesterday morning that these words came to me. I kept hearing in my head, “What have I forgotten?” I typed it out and then, the rest of the words starting flowing from the visuals in my head.
I almost deleted them, but felt a strong, “No” and it ended up spinning into the end of the poem.
I do not normally share my poetic processes because people tend to think I am whacky. I guess I am, who cares!
I too struggle with short term memory because the way my sensory processing is connected in my brain. It also get affected from my anxiety disorder at times. Shh! Lol!
I am so glad that these words had meaning to you too. Thank you for sharing that it means a lot.
This whole line gave me chills running down my spine.

The future aches with honey, its only a matter of time if the ants don’t lick the moist from the moon.
You are such a gifted soul and with so much heart and passion. I am glad we are friends…:)
I will be posting my new blog today….Sorry for the delay I had to attend matters of my girlfriends health.
Thank you Charlie! Oh! That is fantastic to hear, “chills!”
“The future aches with honey, its only a matter of time if the ants don’t lick the moist from the moon.” Oooo! Love this! It is now swarming through my head like a bunch of bantering bumble bees, next door.
I am glad we are friends too. Will have a read of your post shortly. I do hope your girlfriend is well!
