I must confess I like mucking about with poetry, I excelled at it in school, however afterwards my literary skills took a downward direction. So this will be my interpretation of a mad poem.
My head fills with inexplicable thoughts, They invade every avenue of my brain, Like ships that traverse to many ports, They come and go while I remain, Locked in some time warp of space, Sometimes no expression on my face.
Dark and gloomy aliens ravage my head, I play host to all who trespass my mind, They have no meaning they are not lead, They inhabit every area they can find, Not even the usual comfort of sleep, Prevents me having to weep.
Why oh why do I submit to their will , Can I not withstand their force, When my mind is not blank and still, I find it filled with such remorse, I yearn for peace and tranquil rest, But I wonder if I can stand the test.
These devils feed on my weary thoughts, I alone can summon my strength, I must regain my sanity of sorts, Finally after such great length, I can muster some commanding might, To rid me from this lack of light.
Back I come from this twilight hell, Back I come to to enjoy the day, Away from this sorrow where I had to dwell, To the life where love lets me stay, Back to all that I left behind, Back to the sanity I regain my mind.
Believe it or not this was my true feelings earlier this year when whilst undergoing my treatment for prostate cancer, my last surviving brother died of Parkinsons disease, he was the last member of my family, and having never married I suddenly felt very lost and insecure. I suddenly felt that there was nobody with any feelings towards me. I didn't know what to do or think, and for the first time in my whole life, there was nobody to turn to.i had not been able to travel to see him in hospital and when I was able to go it was too late, but I did attend his funeral.
That is about the closest I have come to madness, and it was too close for me.
