Mind Twins

Seeds of evil 

My mind turns 

Daily against itself 

Nothing I can do 

But live in torment 

Half of me, half evil 

Lived by another 

Twisted mind 

Crucified heart

Ideas, disturbing 

Pulled from sinews of a demonic kind 

Memories are not my own 

Terrified faces who I don't know 

Reacting to the malevolence within 

The dark chasms of the mind 

Cannot understand 

Cannot comprehend 

Destruction of the soul 

To another person's means 

Achieve the same ending 

Sadness lying never spoken, 

Stillness remains a valued token 

Slowly drifting to other worlds 

Poisoned bloodstream 

Invoking a puppet 

A thin string that holds me in place 

As strong as a bird wing 

Fluttering up high

Complex patterns of light and dark vie for the right to be... to exist within each me.

[Victoria Mae]

This is fantastic. The use of words makes it not only read really well, but gives you the feeling that really sucks you into the writing.

The theme in here is wonderful. A mysterious disorder of the human brain, schizophrenia sure is. The choice of words create the perfect effect. An ingenious piece of work.

Aren't we all born with good and bad in our genes.. isn't it nurturing and more that shows the way to travel, isn't it the negatives spirit-will inside that shows its face to out or be controlled?

Your poem has great power, really does, shows how it is, how it could be. You are who you think you are, until you know.. far as sure as you can. Perhaps?

Well don't know how I have managed to miss this. Kate you reminded me of Karen Crysis era "Blood Burden" and I am really taken by your words. The journey through that side of us which most avoid to look in the face only to realize that it may be an intrinsical part of who we finally are. The journey of questioning through duality ; if I am but silent who is that speaking? Aren't I good? So who is thinking that evil.... and so it continues into the side of the unknown as an obeserver were sadness and stillness lay slowly drifting into non - existence through semi - life representatives of the anti - being.

Great stuff Kate!

Thankyou
