Poet-Today | Abdulsamad Papilo | The Arts-Muse Fair

MIND POLICE

A puppeteer of my mind you bewilder my every thought

The good and bad you bind

And sail to your cessation court

My intuitions become blind

And for your directions I sort.

A conjurer of my emotions

I'm so subsumed in your shadow

My instincts are open to seductions

To your lead I now follow

My psyche yearning for solutions

As my sanity is carved hollow

You invade my delicate sentience

And arrest my fickle conscience

My wit is devoid of patience

It bows to your seductive presence

Like was drowned the Pharaoh of yore who was full of incense  

Only divinity can end for me this bleak sentence
