Collage

By heinzs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Collage Are they dreams or visions, these constant changing images that flood my mind? A melange of sights, superimposed, juxtaposed, jumbled in seeming disarray. Though I try to shake them off they demand my attention - without revealing their purpose. Sometimes I am fearful at their omnipresence, lest they be portents of insanity. Harbingers of mental decay or preludes to genius - I am unable to distinguish them. Though most are benign, some are quite disturbing and dark, insidious in their sparkling clarity. Can these terrors be my own mind's creations, or are they sent from without? I fear for my sanity if I should give in to their allure and so lose myself in the process. Teeming visions torment my soul, beckoning towards the dark, black hole. 1-25-2002 Written January 25th, 2002 © on Apr 21 2002 12:50 PM PST, Heinz Scheuenstuhl    0 • 1
