INNER TURBULENCE

The dredging of demons around the heartunearthing issues of which we want no part  -
showing sensitive spots
                 which escape exposure
offering palliative measures
                which allow no closure. It's the inner turbulence that interests me insights that shine their lighton dark corners we to need to see. The intrapsychic tension always presents there,it makes things happen of which we're unaware.The drives, the forces
that work from deep within both repulsions and attractions -their dull momentum begin. If only we could work above the linemake consciousness happen -
Live in real timenot be driven by demons, dark sides and such -but bridle body and mind from that
which hurts too much...

Boni...

and a good lesson it is... I felt the meter you were going for wasn't quite there... almost, but not quite... the drudgery of demons around the heart the pounding of feet(,) (their) imprints to impart If only we could work above the line make consciousness happen and (be) in real time. only a couple of suggestions Boni... the () are either added punctuation or suggestions as to where you might remove a word for a tighter meter and flow of words... but... merely suggestions on this piece, content was very good... thank you for posting...
