what we do we don’t,
what we see does not matter,
we don’t perceive what we do see,
what we hear we don’t understand,
we don’t listen what we hear,
so we speak what we don’t want to say,
the brain does get the signals,
only those are noise all mixed up;
we preach but we don’t practise
and fill the air with empty promise,
alas, history is what is being perceived
biased by what one wants to hear,
prejudice for the benefactor does sip in,
and we go around strutting history has spoken
the truth and the only truth as we know them,
our understanding clouded by what we read,
out comes the gospel truth from a brain corrupted,
unable to decipher the mixed signals it received,
we are all true to our beliefs,
the elephant never emerged as
the six blind men searched for the absolute truth.

Dementia
When my brain goes
Don’t come looking for me, my darling
You will not be able to bear hearing
The sound of my heart breaking
Me not being able to say
I miss loving you every day
No Shame in Failing
Temper dreams with pragmatism
Resolve with fortitude
A slide down with a lift up
Banish self doubt with conviction
Have faith on self
Give mind a free rein
But do keep control
There is a reason
Brain is not on your loin
Those led by their loins
Will perish by their loins
Do the right thing
Think but do follow through
No shame in failing
Secrets of Mr. Hyde
I search my soul in vain
For the secrets of Mr. Hyde
Hiding deep inside
Unannounced
He makes his moves
Waiting for the darkness
Ready to fry my brain
Thoughts repulsive
Repugnant
Tie my limbs, I can
But the mind digress
Temptations
Did Satan corrupt Eve
Or God impregnated us
With duality
Forbidden fruit or necter
As night goes, daybreak
Evil will pass
Goodness reign
This poem is in response to Jane Dougherty’s November Yeats Challenge day Two
Unrequited Love
Heart is a terribly lonely place
Where reason fears to tread
Brain fried in fats of deep emotion
Unable to send or receive signals
Non reciprocated sentiments left
A devastatingly scorched landscape
Victim relationship
Left to drown in a
Sea of unrequited love
Fleeting Muse
