Drowned in Thought MAG

By Anonymous

and I cannot tell you
free from invis(imagine)ible vision
bondage anchored views
let it go (un)ravel twist
congest accelerate main artery jammed
pressure point dis(tribute) disturb weight
transfer answer inner calm
submerge emerge hot water balance thrown
sunken reference point out truth
sources matter cite me parenthetical pathetic
how can you believe in(sanity)
attempt understanding at access unknown
label construe explain with their language
the visual (internal) hidden fogged mirror
ripple reflects film distort skew still
breathing banned beneath bubbles only escape
under muscles tense under layer unfound
heat unheard affects steam projects ideas unheard
now my head is clear (mine)d is cluttered again

“If I speak in the tongues of angels, but have not love, I'm only a resounding noise , If I have the gift of knowledge, And if my faith moves mountains high, But have not love I am nothing… Though I know the One, Who holds the stars in the heavens, In the palm of His hand, If I give all I possess , To the poor and the helpless, I'll still gain nothing, Without love… Love's patient, True love is always kind, Love does not envy, Never brags, it's never proud, Slow to wrath, it keeps no records of wrongs against friends, Love forgives… It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” (1 Corinthians 13:1-5,7)
“If the world hates you, remember that it hated Me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.” John 15:18-19
"The world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these the spirit blooms..." ~ George Santayana

Wow, that was really interesting... in a very good thought provoking way. I love how you aranged seemingly unrelated words into a fantastic poem... the words, or parts of words in parenthesis are such an amazing and interesting part of it too!! awesome :D

The title suits the twisting labyrinth-like thought structure you present. The words were of a diverse category, which is surprising. So, overall, I think I might actually like this.

It was kind of confusing and hard to understand... But it was good description.
