Inspiration

When a maelstrom of emotions is going through your mind

You don’t really know how you feel, it is hard to find

The predominant emotion, at least one that you can name

You know your emotional state is heightened, all the same

If only you could distill down your emotion to its essence

You could create something powerful and intense..

After reading a book, myself in this situation often I find

The characters and the story leave imprints on my mind

That I cannot shake off, fiction and my reality collide

To create a weird emotional turmoil inside

Which as neither pleasant nor unpleasant I can describe

(Those who understand what I mean would constitute my tribe)

After a few hours I am back to my baseline emotional state

Still in a fictional state of mind, I am able to create

A piece of poetry in order to express authentically

The emotional tapestry the book had given me..
