There are five widely known senses. Sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. We've got some minor ones as well, such as balance, temperature and many more. However, people fail to realise that there's also the sixth major sense. Thoughts themselves.    If we look closely, all these five senses have the same base. Specified cells in eye react to energy of light, cells of ear recieve energy in form of air's vibrations, skin cells pick up energy of mechanical changes, and so tasting and hearing depend on translation of certain substances' chemical energy.    These cells in different organs differ in their structure and the way they appear, however, if we stop looking at them in such small scale, we can see that ALL of the cells or organs responsible for any sense translate the energy.    So, a light enters the eye, certain wavelenght of certain energy stimulates the eye's rod or cone cells with a certain intensity. Then the energy of light is translated to energy of electrical impulse, which goes straight to the brain, creating the sensation of sight.    If it comes to smell, a certain particle enters the nose, binds to a smell receptor cell, and the chemical energy of this particle is, again, translated to energy of electrical impulse, which goes straight to the brain, creating the sensation of smell.    Now, let's move to the crucial part. The sense of thoughts.    During the creation of thought, pathways in our brain that collect memories(and many more known or unknown pathways) connect. First, there's this spark of electricity, that moves all along the neuron and releases a dose of neurotransmitters(amount of different NTs is equiavlent to strength of this spark, basically resulting in "creating" various thoughts). Then, chemical energy of NEUROTRANSMITTER is translated to energy of electrical impulse, which happens in the brain, creating the sensation of thought.    Therefore the 'sense of thoughts' reacts to and is stimulated by neurotransmitters themselves, with receptors on neurons' membrane being receptors of the stimulus. So, kind of like smell, the stimulus is chemical, compared to sight, where it's electromagnetic wave; anyways the result in all of these is electric impulse in neurons (hence the idea of "thoughts" as a sense, due to the same basic layout; transfer of energy).    The 'smell particle' connects to receptor and is translated to a certain amount of neurotransmitters/certain strenght of neuronal impulse. SO, again, we can see that when the first outer layer of this communication is cut off, we're left only with the neurotransmitters and impulses themselves. Anyway, the transduction of energy remains.    If it comes to "sense of thoughts" the receptor lies within us, whereas in sight or smell or touch it's external. However, does it matter if it's on the surface of skin or under it if it all comes down to neurons of our brain?    When you lie in a dark, silent room, without any external stimuli, you still retain your thoughts, colorful, vivid or complex. All the magic of the brain - still happens. So, how isn't it a separate, full-fledged sense?

“I would never be like those girls, they’re crazy.”   Thats what I told myself when I saw every girl fan girling over some boyband. I always wonder why they have to cry even though their idols just tweeted a picture or releases a new song; music video. I always wonder why they have to waste their time to vote. It annoys me when they try their best to get their idols attention by spamming them. Fangirls get to my nerves, but I stayed quiet. I hated it. I hated them because they’re dedicating their life to someone who doesn’t even know they exist. I mean I like some bands, but I never ever did those stuff. "I would never ever.” I told myself. But one day, I woke up… "Hi, we’re 5 Seconds Of Summer." Then everything started to change.   — *And then and there I knew… Im such an hypocrite.*

I hate fangirls
First touch First kiss,  bliss I lick my lips The tension releases This feeling I feel A sickness This desire builds All this touching Still can't get my fill Craving that look Of passion in your eyes Your disguise, The satisfaction Of friction,  sweat Dripping between crevaces Following the path The moisture leaves a trail To the bottom of the ocean Explosion Keep going To the flame inside It burns,  for you Steady and hard I feel this hunger Quench my thirst A slow and soft kiss, First Then it's just enough The volcano erupts Fall down,  bliss It all started With one sweet kiss

One Kiss **** Sunday)
By my dear angel Sandalphon as he has been lead in my hand, leaving a clear trail of a cursive writing on a transient sheet of paper, A crimson sight, so black that one would be caught in trance, reflected by unnatural light of a lamp flickering in the dark of the night, as his feather releases a sweet scent of fresh yet unused ink, Together with Zadkiel's blooming and happy memories I then am capable to write such down, in an attempt to create poetry, focused, The sound of scratchy, itchy, rasping echos through this room I inhabit, but already left spititually, engaged in the world of fantasy, Word by word, the paper is penetrated by this pen, pleasantly, thoughtfully, gently sliding over it to not damage it by accident, There is no need for haste, heartache nor rush, not is there the need to be concerned about this angels work, duty and his mission to accompany me throughout each and every writing which unfurls, Alike a story from my mind, from my emotions, deepest wishes, cast on the physical realm with his help, And once his strengh weakens, fades, loses might and goes out alike an dying ember he will be dunked in fresh ongoing determination, so that he can repeat his duties with exuberance, joy Casting a smile on my face once literature has been created, As then I lay my dark knight, my servant for the night to rest, Until another poem has to be written and his duty awakens him, After all, in this dreamlike tale it is well to remember; You don't have to die in a dream ~ Umi

I’ve written words since I found out that those graphite sticks could form them and wrote my name on the top of a kleenex box when I was four. I’ve written words since I learned that each one held a meaning I could hear in my head. I’ve written words since I realized that writing releases them from my mind, so that I can hear myself think. I’ve written words because numbers run away from me, just out of grasp, teasing me with their teamwork and rigid cooperation and parenthetical expressions. I’ve written words never read by anyone, words which embarrass with their frankness words which I’ve burned thinking they would die. I’ve written words which I longed to share because they fit together better than numbers and made my skin crawl with their deliciousness.

Hate Visions of graves and flames A feeling of such heat Rage that builds and builds Eyes blurred with deceit Love A feeling we all know A most beautiful beginning But we all dread its end When your mind is spinning Pain Its deep inside your heart Your soul broken to pieces An unwanted memory As the last tear releases

Hate, Love, Pain
She strides down the street, Holds that cancer stick up to her mouth, Takes a deep breath in, Filling her lungs with lethal smoke, Gradually rotting away her Interior. Her heart beats out of her chest. [A heart divided between two hearts.] He’s waiting at the street corner Between the alley of lust and the Path of ignorance. She sees his silhouette in the Distance, a dark apparition. Her heart leaps out of her chest, Towards him, Reaching for him, Propelling her to him. She had absolutely no control over the matter. The other man she loves is home Alone, waiting for her too. Moments ago, he Held her in his arms, Kissed her goodbye, Told her to hurry back soon. “I love you.” “I love you, too” - the words Suddenly conveyed No meaning to her. She told him she was Running an errand, when, In reality, She was running away From him. [*A heart divided between two hearts Can never really be a heart.*] His love suffocates her. His love drowns her In its constancy, In its predictability. With him, she feels like a Bird with its wings ripped off. Held captive, in a wire cage. [*A heart divided between two hearts Can never beat the way it should.*] How can a woman with two men Who love her Feel so Staggeringly Alone? Who will love her until their Disintegrating hearts turn into Simply dust. [*A heart divided between two hearts Can never really keep from rupturing, Infecting the body with its own poisons.*] So she lets her underground lover Envelop her in his arms And kiss her until both of their lips Are numb, Until they both want more. Until they cannot restrain themselves. His love releases her out of her Cage, allows her to fly once again. The passion of these moments Will never be forgotten. His love brings the roses back to Her lifeless cheeks, brings life Back to the void inside her. And, his love allows her To fly back home, once again, Straight into the arms of the Man who is her keeper.

Moon is not beautiful She doth not shine golden She drops weakened, white light on creatures craving sleep She sits there and stares At a frightened little world with her cold, chilling glow and a hostility deep It's ingrained in her soul to make the nimbus look fearsome ghastly and pale like a place to hide demons She debases belief We forget our star-wish and thick, we go fishing at nighttime And then, Moon releases a loneliness, cold and we can't elude we're stuck in the hole of This brooding solitude mood and its tole. There's no escaping anytime soon As we start to fear the burning sun And I suppose, this is my loathing of Moon. Moon is contagious. She offers the aid of her presence, unfailing When we're washed down like willows, weakened and wailing And we can sail under her Just as the dime It's a lie that the night's only clock-start for crime When she's out from the hiding place to be bright as Moon can There's not a direction No footpath No overworked plan And when I remember: Beauty needs not a rival I suppose I'll be loving Moon, soon again.

*as winter acquiesces to the blazing sun a soothing breeze softly grazes tips of aspen gently shedding past liaisons a perfect panacea allowing wild freedom for summer’s dawn healing from the ominous night a flower gingerly releases its grasp leaning into golden rays of summertime keenly aware of newfound vulnerability it yawns into the light a rousing essence induces a silhouette of life once thought lost prodding river’s rigid ice blue crystals to melt and flow with buoyant wonder kaleidoscopic-like waves having weathered near annihilation a sculptured consciousness remains painting summer clouds with soft-hued wisdom all awakens from the dream and should the cold return once more the sun will shine again ©2016janetaylor

a perfect panacea
I wonder if the color green releases calm and renewal energies because it is the earth's carpet, magnetizing us down to earth. I wonder if the color red wraps around passion and chaos because the blood in our veins rush evermore when we see something we love, and it rushes to our brain when our world turmoils. I wonder if the color blue spreads hope for the sky as a crutch for those who have nowhere else to look but up to their god or to the formation of clouds that one cannot make sense of their cotton candy essence. I wonder what color we are. What color does the earth reflect on us? Are we chameleons, morphing into different shades by the hour or are we permanent markers, bleeding deep? Maybe we are gray and receive color by what we surround ourselves with. That's how science works, right? A reflection of light in our retinas. I am purple. There is a cloud of mystery and romanticism that shields me like a cloak, but my emotions run like rich velvet. Maybe one day I'll find a yellow who bursts rays of warmth. I think I would like to be with a yellow one day, the golden hour of colors.

Golden Hour
Sweetheart silent killer manifests all inside my mind, The moon’s a magnifying glass as it rises in the sky. At 2 a.m. it giggles, a thick knife in its teeth, And drops it down into my head as I lie underneath. The glass I keep so carefully to remain ***** in the day, Shatters and releases a burning, breathing self-assay. A kaleidoscope catoptric, all frets out in the free, A band of thought-filled thieves invade to steal my sleep from me. Tossing and turning beneath the stars, I’ll wait til I burn out, At night my brain is flooding and in daylight there’s a drought. Lullaby myself with tears, wake up way too late, Stuck as an insomniac, suicide’s sweet bait. I wish I was an autumn leaf, I’d float into the sky, And every fall I’d have the opportunity to die. I don’t want to die, I just want to dream, Instead of replaying my sick realities that make me want to scream. But this will still all stay the same as my brain and blood run white, I’ll feed myself with Satan’s sugar, the depressed primrose of the night.

Primrose Photosynthesis
So the sunshine came again? I stand here alone over the ages Days spent with no one but myself I tell you the sunshine never ends But when the darkness comes... I'm afraid to close my eyes Did you know? Did you know the sun is gonna die? This could be the last day The last golden light Finally the darkness releases the light Streaming beams coming alive Look into the sun as a new day rise Flood your eyes with heat and bright One more day for us to still be Alive

So the Sun Came Again?
Dear ancestors hear my voice On this Samhain eve I have a Message for you Be sure I have found my love A love that releases me The version of me you may not know The one that I have became It is true that this love has grown Grown into a perfect and lasting covenant Love that is rare and true She is the embodiment of me in a Special and all seeing person She has given me sight to see the world in its glory The Vision of which I have never known She has given me heart to carry on when all seems lost Courage to face each day The tenacity to make the most of my life and of hers The soul that we share is complete in the extreme It is extreme as it is perfect and as one She gives me more than this more than I could ever Ever ever say. I found her just six years ago She came to me in a rush of circumstance Something unexpected and yet hoped for I can say much of this but all I need to say Is that I love her so dearly it hurts It hurts because life itself is so fragile. I hold this love in my hand and cherish it Cherish this day as we walk together into our Seventh year through the mist and veil Of Samhain, oh Samhain, This is our time Max Hale Dedicted to my Jan on the anniversary of our meeting six years ago.

Gone are the days when teachers Came to school on cycles Now every teacher owns a motor cycle No teacher wants to ride a cycle I am one of the few teachers Who now and then use cycles Riding a cycle is considered mean Even my daughters regard it as mere fun The cycle runs on human power The motor cycle on electrical power If it runs out of petrol Somebody comes to console If it develops a technical problem It keeps mum like a tar drum Human power is more reliable Electrical power is always unpredictable Bicycle is very easy to ride It is a poor man’s pride Riding a cycle is good for our health It even saves some of our wealth It saves environmental pollution And releases our mental tension

stress like the rest I’m trying to get something off my chest. its a weight so great my body begins to shatter all i want to do is yell but this weight is hell it pushes all the air from my lungs till they are bare. do you even care? are you even there? stress is the pain in my chest it feels like cardiac arrest i feel like i should be wearing a bullet proof vest because I’m wearing a red target on my chest. just something to aim at. stress is a mess with no clear way to clear a path without being cluttered by fear. it will bring tears, it will make you think of the ones you hold dear, stress is that weight on your chest making you feel oppressed. its something i deal with normally dont worry i dont repress. i paint it on this page with each move i make a digital valve releases letting you read this.

stress
(in heavy breath) my eyes take her in her body lying prone. her smile, smothered in her pillow. back arched, she releases a moan. (moaning, quite sharply) my hands stroke with her cadence staggered gasp and with a click i lock my screen as her moans send me to space. my own fluids are now the fluid for stimulus, for an eye rolling **** numbing high. but in thirty seconds i crash. i am tasting myself now with desire with disgust like raw eggs mixed with salt like water laced with crushed paracetamol exactly *** mixed with spit. i sink into the dark musty scent of stale air, *** and sweat. and i awake and once again my eyes do hunger and so does my **** Eshu, end your tricks now it’s not funny anymore. my gaze ***** everyone it meets. it strips them bare of their skin of their flesh it turns them into meat. it grinds a person into produce. these eyes are battered and harmful. may they now rest, please?

Down the Rabbit Hole
Red flags in the beginning are easy to turn into little sticky notes, notes for later that sometimes lose their adhesive and fall to the ground much like my current tolerance for ****** dudes The first known use for red flags was by the military to indicate they’re ready for battle, unfortunately I’ve seen enough red flags to start the next world war I should’ve known When I came back from Arizona and he said “you must’ve cheated on me because your ****** feels different” Not because he’s insecure or because he doesn’t know trust or because he’s trying to assert control I should’ve known When he asked if I “had a problem getting wet because it seemed like that was a thing” Not because he doesn’t know foreplay (side note: **** doesn’t teach you foreplay) or because he doesn’t actually turn me on or because fun fact!- women can be turned on and not be wet I should’ve known When he said “if you shaved, then I’d go down on you 24/7” Not because he was scared that choking on my ***** hair reminded him he’s with a real woman that grows hair and humans inside her and ideas and opinions and strength and my body is not yours to give me ultimatums of I should’ve known When I asked if figuring out my pleasure was a burden and he answered “actually, yes it is” Not because he’s too lazy to actually want to pleasure anyone but himself or because his only ****** education ended with a .com or because no one has ever expected more of him I should’ve known when he said “What I want out of a ****** partner is someone that wants me inside of them as soon as possible” Not “inside my soul” or “inside my thoughts” or “inside my memories” or “inside an intimacy he will never know” I should’ve known when he said “Let me show you how Rachel did it” Not “this is how I like it” or “can we try this?” or “opening your ******* mind to how another human being moves around you” I should’ve known when He spit on my ****** the universal sign for disrespect Like I deserve the same fate as tobacco swollen cheeks Like my ****** is your spittoon, am I the end of a tobacco session or a fancy wine tasting? these things matter Now I find it symbolic men are taught to spit while women are taught to swallow Swallow our reactions Swallow our feelings Swallow our voices Swallow his releases Swallow his spit Swallow us whole When you see a red flag do not ignore that it means battle This battle is not a healthy one, this battle will leave you bruised Uproot this flag and take it with you to remind yourself You can lose every battle and still win the war 11/28/2016 Amanda Powell

Conformity kills your self-expression It only leads to deep depression Conformity grows and never ends True things that exist are labeled as trends Inside the system, the machine presses on Conformity kills as I recite this poem Conformity kills all the human opinions Everyone wants to be too much alike Conformity releases millions of minions All of us suffer as we lose the fight Can't we just stop and try to be different Ending this crap is so far out of sight Conformity kills Drains Steals All the clothes from off our back CONFORMITY KILLS KILLS KILLS KILLS

Hey there, baby! I got what you need. You came into my store - I got what you need. You bought a stick of gum - Do you want a soda with that? You searched for a pair of shoes - Don't you think these shoes are nice? You liked a post about Darwin - Darwin books: Half-off! You listened to the Rolling Stones - Try some Jeff Beck - I'm a Genius, I should know you better than yourself. You thought about ****** - I can sell you seventeen ways to get away with it. You thought about suicide - Better buy one last pleasure before you go - you won't be needing that money anyway, Have you made your final arrangements? You thought about *** - I know you did You typed "re"(demption) Did you mean "Redbox"? Here are the new releases. I got what you need.

Gently, she goes as soft as a fawn opens the window and waits for the dawn fireflies glow wind caresses her face as she sheds all the shadows not leaving a trace She dons velvet darkness wrapped in its cloak releases all poisons, sylphlike, in smoke She is preparing for battle in her own, quiet way She only wants wholeness as she breaks through the gray For soon she will weave prismatic wonders of spells her own inner aurora lighting heaven from hell For suffered she has and it's time to forgive unlock self-made prisons and let herself live and now as sunrise approaches stars still in sight she turns the skeleton key and glides into flight

News announced today "cop kills a man in his own home". Mistakes his apartment for hers, mistakes him for a burglar or an easy target! My Granny says "I bet she is white and he was black"? She used was since Botham is dead. Granny says "cops killing black body has been normalized since forever". Three days later the news releases her name and photo. My Granny was right. She is a white woman with Klansman's robes for eyes looking to **** a black man.   Amber tell me did you sit in your car for 15 hours carving Botham's name on the bullet that killed him before going to his apartment? Did you want his apartment to reflect the same color as the red mat in front of his door? Oh, you didn't notice that, or did you just decide to take a shot in the dark, while Botham was in his home resting effortlessly? It was too dark for you to see that was not your apartment, but lit enough to see him to shoot him in his chest. Amber, I bet your heart is cut from the same cloth as your mother's "All Lives Matter" Tee Shirt. Botham's Mother says his heart was made by angels.

The sea is all flow with no ebb As the moon hangs full in the sky He pulls her to him on a breeze Salty, heavenly, mesmerizing She comes as he softly beckons The magnet draws her in close She inches toward his cool gaze With the warm water he yearns to drink For he is parched And she is giving Flowing in gentle waves He calls and she slinks to him in shadows Locked in the gaze of desire A gaze broken only by the pleasure of the deluge of their union And in that union there is tranquility His peace releases her She ebbs, quietly lapping the shore She turns to see him smile upon her As she sparkles in the warmth of his glow

We use video games To make video gains Until the screen goes black And reality attacks We lose all our progress In the deletion process As we level up we devolve Around the TV we revolve The more experience we gain The more moments we lose Our memories forever stained When this is what we choose Our life inside a hard drive Our life becomes a hard lie We revel in being unwise Rage quitting life We enjoy strife And avoid pesky light When we live in the dark With consumerist plights We are all marks Video games balance in a zone Between game and art The frustration starts When art is confused for games And games mistook for art People take things to heart And spitefully spew viper venom If this is where games send them Then why do we play? We have no other way To feel accomplishment In a society that worships competition Video games become the second edition Of a life filled with loss On our pixelated cross We are murdered millions of times Reminiscent of the millions of lies That make us losers in the real world Video games become our shiny pearl The computer displays defeat When our lives aren't complete Because we need someone to beat Not realizing our lives are conquered By frivolous topics we've pondered Our meaningless life squandered And hope comes in the form of new releases While inside our faulty headset is in pieces

It's summertime. The saxophone jazz sounds are pirouettetting the waves to find their own balance. It's a mauve inner dance in almost everything around. More exactly, the melodious movable sounds become soundable movement needing a reverberation time to dissipate the energy. The movement releases its own purity to become simple fecundity. The pulsed sound waves are also old memories lost in the natural green. The saxophone looks much more like a Tahitian prince dancing his love on the sand. The singing mauve sea waves have a sadness taste at sunset. The last one is a watery mermaid and he embraces her while searching the high. The sounds need touch and life. They need to dematerialize and to disappear into the universe. The saxophone remains a solitaire keeping safe his evanescent hermetic equilibrium.
