Speaking From Deadly Experience
i know a soul can't act
via the sub-conscious,
but through one's consciousness
it can tell a man
some of what that sub-conscious
saw, heard, and even did
during a psychotic split...
i wonder if
comatose people
can relate
to these things
and say how
their spirit felt
as their conscious
self stirred awake;
if they too sensed
fear at being separate,
that dread of being
not dead but
nothing more
than trapped within
an invisible skin
that has no shape,
no controllable form;
no influence over
what's going on
beyond
the searching of
their mind's
isolated eye;
if they too have a sense
of what it's like to die.

Soul Searching
The mirror presents me
with my body's interaction
with light
~ even the eyes
deflect the question
where am i?
...my being
lodged inside
the black hole of my mind.

The first poem is so powerful, intelligent and I think very thoughtfully constructed........
thanks for reading and appreciating!
(altho Speaking From
Deadly Experience works
on its own, it was written to
explain my Soul Searching
which was written first).
