the mind is an ocean

You can’t feel

Things softly

Love can have its

Teeth in you

As much as anger

As much as pain

Don’t forget

Do you understand

That the mind is an ocean

I can’t be reached

Out here

Floating on my little raft

Some days

The water is calm

I sit and revel

I smile

Some days it is stormy there

I am clinging

Swiping water from my eyes

Hoping my raft remains

Praying I

Am not swept away

And both moments are 

So strong

A depthless peace

Euphoric silence 

Honest and sweet

A roiling chaos

Bloody 

Faceless

Inescapable
