Mind, Heart, Body and Soul

In the fields of my mind
Odd clouds gather
Mists of uncertainties
Senseless insanities

In the sanctum of my heart
Dark storms growl
Blizzards of bitterness
Senseless unhappiness

About the petals of my body
Thorny vines grow
Deep wounds anew
Senseless unhealed scars

I dread for my soul
Inward uneasiness
The darkness awaken
At this sunrise

Hello Golly,

WOW! you really know how to paint landscapes with your artful words. That is to say that your imagery is very descriptive. I really like this piece. My favorite lines(which were hard to choose) are:

In the fields of my mind
Odd clouds gather
Mists of uncertainties
Senseless insanities

the only word I would change is Unsweetness. Maybe bitterness would do instead?

a great read.
always, Cat

thank you Candlewitch

thank you Candlewitch for coming around again. I feel relieved that you have identified with the imagery. must admit that after I finished writing this, I was afraid readers might not find the landscaping idle.
thank you again for pointing out "Unsweetness". I forced the prefix "Un" to "Sweetness" to rhyme with the previous line. Guess the word rhymes right (lame poetic discretion. lolz) but grammatically incorrect. But I have replaced it with "unhappiness".
