PARANOIA
Sea of confusion leading to imagined storms
Shadows, thunder, lightning afflict the soul
Dangerous manifestations lurk around
Ghostly sharks encircle the mind
Innocent parties suspected
Perceived smoke forms
Self fulfilling frauds
Assumed imagined
Wrongs
Lies!
Distortions, grotesque interpretations
Like foggy mirrors at the county fair
That give birth to irrational dread
Gaseous, dark, baleful clouds
Blocking the guiding light
Climax…culminating in
Dread, full-fledged
Panic Attack
Shipwreck
Death!

Ahhhh….now this just hit the spot so well aimed! You stitched these words together so artistically, and they haunt me even after having already read this for the fifth time now. Bravo, my dear friend, this is what poetry sounds like! ❤️👌🏾
I’m glad you liked, thank you for reading and nice comment.
It’s awesome!
The structure looks like a tornado and a tornado it is when read. What a blast.
