The beginning of this poem came to me in a flash, but now it's one of those I can't seem to tie together (there are poems that have been in my subconscious for years before they were really "finished"). So I've thought that perhaps the problem is that I haven't figured out what I'm trying to say here, i.e. my subconscious hasn't yet informed my conscious self of what the heck is going on here.
this is what I have so far:
i have
incredible
moments of
clarity
it's not
unlike
being high
a sound can
trigger lost
remembrances
a scent
drifting ages
half forgotten
wisping by
(it feels like there should be more here)
i sense
indelible
depths of
reality
it's just
so hard
to describe
patterns shift
bring back past
intolerances
dreamers
sifting pages
so well hidden
live a lie
i weep
intangible
from what you
ask of me
it's not
unlike
bleeding dry
===================== and here I am stuck. I just don't get it, and I'm definitely frustrated with it.
