I think fear,
as sharp as snakes teeth
black head weaving
I think sex,
thick twining thoughts
I think creation
desperate concepts
that one cannot resist
I think healing
aggressive
deliberate
unrelenting
in my dreams
under me
my darkness resolving
ascending
complete
absorption
I choose not to resist.

that’s a great take as to healing. the agressiveness one takes to recover, whether it be with the word or any other area to accomplish that goal of sanity. nicely done:)

Thanks Don and the more I think about it the more about healing this poem is… i wasn’t sure as I wrote beau cause it came from a dream I had had that night… but now I see and it is largely thanks to the comments and interpretations from my friends here!

Just by chance, I was listening to Savage Garden’s Break Me, Shake Me while reading this. It provided a backdrop, but your words, and I daresay your voice, took center stage. I love the bursts of thought in the strong, well-placed, well-chosen words and how you have stamped this with an unmistakable character towards the end.

it all came from a dream…. it was born in a dream .. but i am also really exploring the snake in my world and imagination at the moment. We found one in the wall yesterday actually a beautiful python, sleeping peacefully while we renovated!
