Poems by Celine Berghmans : 11 / 150
A Prisoner of the Mind
Locked in dark alleys of lost hope –
thunder clouds appear everywhere;
loud noises, are amplified as a cloth…
is thrown over the cage like a bird trapped
into time; with nowhere to turn but just
in the forsaken cage of walls.
A prisoner of the mind is:
when no noises of freedom are brought into sight.
But a despair of darkness overcomes
within the world of a desperate
globe that is turned upside down as;
dark alleys lope around:
a prisoner of the mind.

Very sad poem but again, nicely written. I enjoy your dark poems Celine. You express yourself well.

Lots of startling imagery here. You paint a picture of darkness and loss of hope. Excellent work though, but I feel you need a Valentine Poem. Karin Anderson
sad but powerful.....you wrote this one passionately....I liked it.
dark poem, well done................open the lock
Celine...
I read this through several times, each time slower than the first. I feel a tempo to this that tells me that this was as much released from the spirit as it was written by the hand. A lot of angst that poured out and perhaps, there remains much more that needs to be exorcised..There is a strong impression of the biographical mixed with the observational in this piece. Very well written in a way that gives the discerning spirit a little peek into your heart.

Seems to be trapped in narrow passages of the life..... Another good one Celine..... keep it up.....10.
Your expression in this write gives the feeling of be trapped, well done.

This description was so vivid that it was as if the prison of the mind was a place you have been. Perish the thought.
