Image: A Tortured Mind(here)
Within entrenched
Her mind encircled
Thoughts confined
Great pain recycled
Why was she tortured
Sharp barbed wires
Nothing so feared
Mercilessly pierced
Searched her conscience
Where was the muddle
Answers all entwined
Her mind all befuddled
Karma perhaps at play
Pay-back time held sway

- to include the word - cycle
If she'd messed with someone else, then what comes around goes around.
ReplyDeleteYes, it can happen...thoughts cycle, we have thousands of thoughts each day, but most are the same.
ReplyDeleteWho knowns where the barbed wires are sprouted from. Hope she has the strength to overcome
ReplyDeleteInteresting poem, and image, Hank
much love...
Your words mirror the image of a tortured mind well. ‘Great pain recycled’ ...
ReplyDeleteNice line: "Karma perhaps at play" The payback perhaps may encourage empathy.
ReplyDeleteexcellent subject, Hank, the cycling of thoughts. We never really learn, do we, and end up recycling the same old thoughts.
ReplyDeleteBack around and around things can come
ReplyDeleteNow that is a great example of payback!

ReplyDeleteReaping what was sown... a great write for an amazing image!
ReplyDeleteThat's hard to handle specially when one's mind all befuddled!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if anyone deserves to be tortured like that.
