I'm diving into the darkest corners

of my very own abyss,

abyss i hear you say?

why yes, the one that lives

in my very own mind of course

 

the one where I swim beside

the three headed flamingo

she’s wearing a golden thong

her flippers made of cork

 

on my other side is the black sheep

I love her, she’s wearing prada stilettos

as I hear her moan about her baggy jumper

of unravelling wool, that goes on for miles and miles

under this great ocean

entangling a giant blue octopus holding his cell phone   

 

last but definitely not least

 

is the neckless Giraffe

he’s holding a book

 “Where the Wild Things Are”

in Latin, crying red hearts into his swimming goggles

 

my eyeballs now raw

from all this unbelievable imagery

 

knowing all the while

 

any moment now

 

I may well wake from this theatre that lives inside my mind…

 

because, after all

 

I bloody love being

completely and utterly bonkers mad.

I may well wake, from this magnificent 

theatre that lives inside my mind?

 

because, after all...

 

I absolutely bloody love being

completely and utterly bonkers mad.

    I have this very quote on my desk; and to the forest I go; to lose my mind and find my soul. A beautiful write!

    • Teddy.15

      LoL thank you so much, it's really long but I had to get the madness out and I'm so honoured you have enjoyed this double take poem. Thank you so much. ❤️

      Bonkers you may well be,
      but you're still my favorite Teddy 😉

          • Bella Shepard

            You make me want to buy a ticket to this incredible place, but it is your wonderful space alone. I would say that your very own abyss is magical, and I stand in wonderment at the magnificent theatre inside your mind that gives us such poetic gifts. Thank you for being "completely and utterly bonkers mad" dearest Teddy!

            • Teddy.15

              LOL you are most welcome my dear Bella. 🤗 💜 Thank you always so honoured to hear your reviews.

              Apart from the surrealistic imagery, so typical of dream states (or at least mine) its recurring nature depicted the way in which dreams manifest themselves. Convinced me completely, Teddy.

              • Teddy.15

                So very kind of you to say dear Dave, thank you so very much 🤗

              • Goldfinch60

                Super words Teddy, that place may be the one to go in your dreams but out of your dreams you have love about you all the time.

                Andy

                • Teddy.15

                  Thank you so much dearest Andy, such kind words. 🤗

                  sheesh .. groundhog day & night all rolled into one .. sounds like someone might have slipped some acid into your Pinot Grigio Teddy .. I would pay good money to have poemed something this cool .. Neville

                  • Teddy.15

                    ❤️ thank you my dear Neville.
