Don't !

don’t catch my
thoughts

you’ll become
a host

and spread
my disease

of deep
         despondent
                        depression
                                       to everyone

I will willingly catch most of your thoughts

and spread loving intelligent memes, the depression would be a small hell to pay. cheers, Jess

It is not the catching of the thoughts

but the release we need to worry about I too will pay the price of a little shared sadness, downward we go twirling around the drain where does the water go no matter it will appear again in the rain Donnie/ Sinbad in sharing we spread the disease in expressing we ease the pain and share the burden of the weight of it

This site borders on therapy sometimes

But then again, lousy poets in need of therapy get helping suggestions with their life, not on their poetry. This is good poetry. cheers, Jess
