Limitation of Emotion
Cells were closed off,
Charred on the outside fresh on the in.
A wall of non-energy surrounded my skin.
Gut was disconnected from the cognitive,
No feeling not living.
My biological imperative,
To wonder why there are stars at night.
Feel a sense of peace, looking on,
even release of fright.
Feeling is the weight in every decision,
Giving meaning to orbital vision.
Morbid attrition incorporate in wisdom,
Reminder; of the limitation of emotion.
The blank page you can never write.
Read the rest of the poem Show less
The length of time since you’ve cried.
The sound that makes you wish you’d died.
That song that never sounds right.
A thought, leaning against the intangible,
Waiting for the signal to let go,
It won’t though.
A reason we believed in gods and heathens,
When we thought the stars were heavens.
Why we developed nuclear weapons,
Gauge weight in vapid treasures.
Emotion is useless without cognition,
The Cognitive corrupts our use for feeling.
