mind games ...

Poem Artwork
When the idea became ...
Mind was oppressed with troubles.
Never admitting it could ever break down,
Mind chose instead to stave off all the
Impediments and negativity that
Were circling like vultures.
Acceding, rather, to aspiration,
Mind promised - crossing its heart and swearing –
That all responsibilities would be realized
In a most timely fashion;
Knowing full well it was already on a
Beach basking in warm sun,
Sipping Glenfidditch,
And mulling another day away

We need our escapes, don't we? Writing and day-dreaming is mine. This is so real; this is the way we live now. Doing one thing, thinking another. It helps us get through. A great poem, Richard. Love and Hugs,
Sheila

Mind Games. The most diabolical crimes in the world can be attributed to these mental felonies. They not only sometimes lead to physical violence in self defense they also create a living legacy of mistrust of almost everyone. Beating the odds and conquering them is a major accomplishment and should be celebrated with verve and satisfaction.

If my mind could play games like this ... well done, Richard. Procrastination is a fault of mine. :)

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Why do today what you can always do tomorrow. My mind is like a snake-oil salesman. Sells me on all manner of stuff. And I always fall for it. But in this case, perhaps your mind was acting in your own best interests. Glenfidditch, beach. Ah, connoisseur of fine spirits and locale. Not bad. Trade your mind for mine any day.

I've been guilty. Mind games can come back upon you and sooner or later it happens. I admire the control you have over poetry.
Blessings and love,

Oh those mind games can be a torment! Being a bi-polar patient I have had my fill of them.
