my mind is racing
A Poem by brigid
my mind is racing......25.5.2012 my mind is racing with empty thoughts. sleep eludes me, yet waking is fraught. my body wraps its skin and bones around my distant lover and wracks its emotions, twisted and tormented, around itself.

First of all, take a deep breath. Just reading the title suggested that my pulse should elevate.
I have felt such emotions, such as the bags under my eyes will validate. But those days are just distant memories, figurative and literal. Hope things workout so the torment turns into an energy that's more beneficial to you.
BTW, I really like your avatar. The Lady of Shalott is one of my favorite paintings by John William Waterhouse.

Yet, we, as poets, can harvest these fields overgrown with emotions so pure. Unfortunately, some of us, like me...remain alone.
The Lady of Shalott...I love listening to Loreena McKennitt's rendition of Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem.
Cheers to you as well.
