"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.
