the mystyery of the mind

Conflicting ThoughtsIn the forest of the mind youwere left behind, panicked when slapped by low hangingbranches of trees of thoughts.…and the echo of agony whenblinding light of life began exploding in your ear drums.This man, thought that I knewhis mind a calm backyard andrusty cars parts, not the wild,a maze where monkeys crapin their hands and throw it ata passing jaguar that proudlywears orchids in its silky earsHere in this dense jungle you are haunted by ghosts of oldromances and these hollow eyed waifs who keep lookingunder rotten leaves to findthe green snake that ate theirlove and spat out obscenities.
