  Maelstrom of Emotion

  My heart doth burst asunder, when by thy grace it acts
  A confused piece of beating flesh
  Evoking feelings, not quite quelled
  Like entwined serpents, writhing, helled.

  Strong feelings, disquieting thoughts
  Trumpet forth with silent blasts
  Risk everything, or gain nothing
  Oh that by my strength could I silence bring.

  My chest aches, ill half suppressed
  Evoking mem'ries half revealed
  Mounting tides of mixed emotion
  Onward, forward, to destruction.

  To this I'll drink, with nothing sated.
  Inside the twisted beast arose
  Oblivion sought
  Nothing sated, confounded thought.

  So why do you think there are so few replies to poetry threads?
  Lack of artistic appreciation?
  Lack of art?

  I think Little Toe that a lot of times poetry like this touches people in a way that they can't express... I know that is how I feel

  When someone touches your soul how can you tell them? Not everyone has a gift like you...

  Poetry is a wonderful way to express your deepest thoughts, many times when I was really down, even depressed when I knew I was going to leave org. I wrote poetry. It was actually the best I had ever written. I totally appreciate poetry written by others. It's a great way to vent your inner feelings. I enjoyed your poem.

  LT,

  You ask why so little replies are made to poetry threads.

  Sometimes there is nothing to say, except maybe shed a few tears like I did with yours.

  That is the highest compliment, but maybe just a few lines to the writer to let them know we read it.
  It's hard to fess up to tears on the net.

  Just keep writing....

  Thanks for sharing that poem, Little Toe. I enjoyed it. It's a condition we've all experienced.
