The Reason Why
I skulk the dark alleyways in my mind.
Without shelter, my homeless thoughts,
lay slumped upon my vein's bleeding shine.
Starving.
Thirsting.
I'm not fully living.
Suspended in stagnant contemplation
of the point of our existence.
What is the continual strive?
The days in my wildflower cerebral meadows,
Where as a child I wandered carefree of wonderings
of why we are alive.
Heard rumors that love is the reason why.
Without shelter, my homeless thoughts,
lay slumped upon my vein's bleeding shine.
Starving.
Thirsting.
I'm not fully living.
Suspended in stagnant contemplation
of the point of our existence.
What is the continual strive?
The days in my wildflower cerebral meadows,
Where as a child I wandered carefree of wonderings
of why we are alive.
Heard rumors that love is the reason why.

We strive to survive in truth, I think, because that's all we can do. With your 'homeless thoughts' what could be more unsettling? No wonder you reminisce in the comfort of your carefree days.

Yup. I know so many people can relate with the struggle to understand our existence. I do believe a part of it is to love and be loved in return.
Billy feels bad for my homeless thoughts, lol 😛
Thx for checking out. And know you are not alone.

Life can be excruciating, full of pain, and seemly unfair. Take care of your loved ones, remember the yesterdays, and be at peace with yourself.

Alternative paths for *homeless thoughts*...
Just like a labyrinth or a maze,... *love is the reason why* .

Love is the reason why... a la Viktor Frankl's Man's Search For Meaning

Wow, I like the ending. It would definitely be a good plot twist in a longer poem, or a set up for a major transition in direction, to tie together with the previous body of work. You use some clever analogies (cerebral wildflower meadow of childhood), and again, I see nothing but potential. Just keep writing! The more experience you get, the more it pays off.

Thank you, your feedback gives me a boost. I do feel the more I write, the more deeply creative I get.
Some of my poems nag to be born, lol
Thx for stopping bye, I love hearing what you think.
