Deep Thought

I once found that,

Elusive, 'silent blip',

It was deep inside,

Hiding all the time,

Lying in my mind,

As I lie to myself,

What a fool I am.

On realization,

It pops, vanishes,

The feeling remains,

Demons, those emotions,

Haunting, wracking, savaging,

Biting at the soul,

Hacking me to death.

Please, give it back,

That inner-silence,

I’m sorry, so sorry,

I was young, stupid,

Welcomed seduction,

Now though, older,

Wisdom exposes truth.

No going back,

Nope, one bite only,

When passion screams,

We hear nothing else,

We choose not to hear,

I once found that,

Elusive, 'silent blip'.

Goodbye everybody.
