MIND GAMES
Enigmatic
Covert
Whimsical and wild
Such are the games I play
Whilst mentally beguiled
Hidden within poetry
In discursive verse
My clandestine love affairs
Short
intense
And terse
Give to me a reason
Why thus I can’t express
My mind’s adventurous spirit
My need to seek excess
To open up
Revealing all
Whilst midst the subterfuge
My ego seeks adrenaline
A haven
A refuge
Its all a nonsense
Words at play
Fending off my fears
Seeking to screen my inner hurt
Reality kept at bay
