Stream of Consciousness



Softly gurgles a steady stream of 

aqueous eddies…

from  deep within my fluent dreams…

A silent river of thoughts steadies those

thoughts that can never be tainted.

They run through my veins and heart  each night.

providing  me with peace, and solitary privilege 

but out of everyone else’s sight.


Every thought I've ever had

feeds on all my troubling worries and fears.

It freely flows, never meaning to be sad but

directed by current reality whether far or near.

With random tears it transforms me each and every night

by its long meandering course, but out of sight,

it’s a never ending river of thought…

fuelled  with secrets that can never be caught.


It’s foaming waters soothe all my troubles away

a stream of thoughts that constantly flows

comforting me when I drift astray…

and perpetuating my sanity wherever I go.

This river could almost be defined as “poetry”

with figurative suggestions woven into its language…

but I’ll settle for it being my mental health 

in moments of thankful sobriety.


Cascading thoughts, shapes my mind, but of a different kind, 

the past, the present, a glimpse of the future with, 

I’m between lucidity and confusion, in a trance-like bind.

my thoughts circle round, this thought imprisoned life.

Cognitive waves washing across my mind,

a way to stay atop this emotion that I feel, 

like a tide of inner emotions, I can't seem to find,

my inner-self, watching despite that, my mind still reels.


Inner reflections of my soul,

the unravelling of so many hurts and doubts,

The scar of pain headed towards the goal,

lay open the deepest parts, that I've kept out.

The constant flow from one thought to the next, 

My mind rushing round, I barely keep track

rushing  through me like a river, that no one expects,

my ideas unfolding like a never-ending stack of cards.


My minds eye opens up my spirit,

my innovative visions, so beautiful, yet so deep

this ongoing exploration is surely no easy feat

the vibrant images my mind's eye does keep.

The flow of thoughts on a journey that I partake

mind maze , a labyrinth of wonders, even an abyss 

A hundred miles, a thousand miles, across some mental lake

confusing, intriguing, mines a mind-twisted, tiz.


Random thoughts from the depths of my inner soul

clambering over each level, each determined to reach its goal

Lessons learned in the mind’s knowledge I find

by trekking through the gateway and listening to the wise…

Lost in myself, a state that’s so hidden, 

that I must continue to always explore

No compass will ever reliably guide me, 

but beauty found in discovering so much more.
