Thoughts swirling around in my head Constantly in motion, confusing Making sense and then senseless Unable to control their movement Reminiscent of the oscillating fan hanging from the ceiling I stare at it listening to the gentle hum and the clinking of the pull caught in its own draught Disoriented by my own uncontrollable emotions I watch the rotations above me allowing them to calm my mind Mesmerized by the gyration and feeling my heartbeat slowing My eyelids flutter in silken silence to the rhythmic, gentle turning Unaware of time passing Becoming sober in thought and centered of spirit My outlook had become a lighter shade of dark Copyright © 2022 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Word Prompts Oscillating - Word of the Day Sober - FOWC Silk - RDP

Your words live in my thoughts Sometimes they delight and are invited to stay Other times they wound and I show them the door They feed my heart Nourish my soul and thoughts become my words flowing freely back to you When words harm they linger in my head slowly poisoning a bruised spirit And I cannot speak to you Instead I write my thoughts that spew forth like demons exorcised from my body So you might understand Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing © in Response to Reena’s Exploration Challenge #153 Image by Irina Gromovataya from Pixabay

Senryu My thoughts collected In the stillness of the night Clarity will come Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing ©
Negative thoughts taunted
In my head, not amusing
Appearing, unwanted
Leaving me daunted
Muddling and confusing
Forcing me to search
So easy to find out about you
Feeling my heart lurch
Looking for a smirch
It is there for everyone to view
I see your life lived like a fool
Old lovers and ex-wives,
Such a collection of jewels
Like a pack of old mules
and as blunt as rusty knives
Then I see you as superior
Leaving me tormented
Feeling inferior
Mostly ulterior
By that which is presented
Fresh as the morning dew
there with a younger love
a good match for you
You are stuck like glue
Your hand inside her glove
Where is the gravity
that pulled us together
Lost in my negativity
Slipping down the declivity
Always breaking the tether
