Perpetual Catharsis (Original MS publication 08.05.07)

thoughts so profound my words can't      
confess the elemental intricacies
of bitter pills swallowed, stormy disasters,
and catastrophes that dwell here
innocences lost to demons and episodes
indecent and undoing of my essence
haunting impressions of those i knew
briefly whose echoes dance in my aura
like fireflies in the distance
self-inhibitions learned carried me           
through, binding and unwavering
unlearned with time and experience
like a wildfire burning through me
exploding onto a blank canvas
and beginning again
i lead my life with my heart
wild and unruly in my rhapsody
the soul of a poet cascading
beyond the barriers before me
catharsis continues... 

I wrote this poem on July 1st, 2007.  I originally posted it on MySpace on August 5th, 2007.  This was the first poem I shared with Noah.  We had been discussing some rather intense things that had gone on in our lives and after a five hour phone conversation I immediately wrote this.  The whole thing took about five or so minutes to write and I have never edited it.
