Mind's Eye

"Mind’s Eye" by Brian Keith Forsythe

Slipping into the ocean of her mind

Lost in tumultuous currents

Carried ever deeper

Riding the maelstrom bravely

Resolutely weathering this chaotic vortex

Filled with terror, trepidation, and shame

But strangely tinged with hope as well

Through the breach into the mind's eye

I feel your soul shivering nervously

Gently caressing it to calm any skittishness

My love radiating in every touch

Fear and pain melting away

Leaving a glowing alabaster pillar

That is such a lovely soul

Freed at last from vile memories

A shared love consummated

Soulmates brought together

Content at last

My name is Brian Keith Forsythe. Originally from the United States of America, I now live in the beautiful city of Calgary, Alberta, Canada with my amazing wife. Writing has always been an integral part of my life. At 16 years of age, I was fortunate enough to have four poems printed in a local magazine. Shortly thereafter I joined the Military. I have served my country in the Navy as a submariner. Having witnessed the military life, as well as a long and eventful life, my poetry has become a very cathartic practice for me. I love riding my motorcycle, and playing video games is a real hobby of mine. I have always been a voracious reader which has contributed to my wide-ranging vocabulary. I am possessed by a huge passion for writing.
