 Question Sanity !


Tears welling in my heart,
filling up, choking me
do I need this ?
pounding hard inside my bosom,
pulsating, coursing through these veins
reaching farthest extremes,
Help ! am I going insane ?


Explain joy,
how do you express fear?
colour, taste, emotions, texture
pain, broken heart and despair,
how can one explain all this ?
are words enough?
can you express colour to me,
to express the feeling,
your sensations
the same that I feel?
touch a soft silky petal,
is that the sandpaper I feel?
is bitter to you
the sweetness I taste,
the red velvet rose,
is that the blue I see ?


How does one


express joy
affirm pain
divulge love
phrase colour
voice sensations
articulate texture
measure taste

enunciate emotions
formulate texture
arrange feelings
verbalize taste
declare sensations
vent pain


How can I know that we sense the same things.
I see red velvet roses, is that what you see
Explain, tell me, is your red the blue I see.

All the different things one expresses Elga are wrapped up in this questioning poem. Would we see as one if we shared the same experience? Maybe sharing with someone you love is the key to any emotional experience. i.e. I love someone and she has no feelings for me. Surely, what I see, taste, and feel about her is not the same feeling shared for me, but for another. There is no end to the shades of emotions. Emotion is like an abyss. We take one step and then fall either to ours depths of feelings or else crash on the shores of neverland; where we die without knowing the joys of love. I love her anyway ... Anothers emotions are not dependent on what I feel. So the blue rose may well be red, and thank God what I think is not dependent on anothers propaganda and influence. In all areas we are different, and a so called expert is no more than an amateur when it comes to feeling and thinking and being. THANK GOD AGAIN!

Exactly, our perceptions are very subjective. What 99% see as black-and-white, the other 1% perceive as grey. Crazy is going against the status quo. There is an excellent book on the subject "The Politics of Experience". And it's not about smoking ganja. :)
