Shaken and disillusioned,
I am flooded in a thousand thoughts.


Struck then,
Like an arrow through the heart.
Precision pounds through me and
The dense thudding pulse intensifies,
Beats faster,
And pain blooms a crimson explosion.
Blood beats beautifully, after all.

Ideas arrive breathless,
Their paces quickening, lungs losing oxygen.
Their lives leap in their last moments
And invisible hands squeeze, they grip like a vice,
Compressing the life,
Clutching, contorting and twisting,
Snapping before breaking them altogether.

A desperate charge is what it takes.
A scramble for that perfect thought before it dissipates, fades.
In that moment of madness
You will truly experience life.
A single instance of pure passion erupts, surges,
It grows from within you and forges together.
Fusing pain and pleasure as one.
The passion of love and of writing; the combination of two is a powerful, potent mix. This current meaning didn't exist when I wrote the original version "Moment of Madness" and you can probably tell if you look at it. It's current meaning, and the one that it will stay as, developed as I worked back over it.
I hope you like it. Please comment if you can but if not no worries ^_^

This is the first poem I ever performed in front of people, reading it outloud in front of a rather large crowd.
