Swim On 
Pictures fall
to my twisted vision
A kaleidoscope
of memories
dance
and brainy thoughts
worm about
a backlash
of deep light
The hook
dangles
with conspicuous bait
and I am tempted
There’s always a string
Always pain
Yet I am tempted
I paddle through
confusion
Muddied minds
and thick waters
are not ideal
for living
I am tempted
but like a drooling fish
I swim on

So alluring… I like this one a lot daka…
There’s always a string
Always pain
Yet I am tempted
I paddle through
confusion
Muddied minds
and thick waters
are not ideal
for living… – Love these lines!
Well written Dear Poet…
Thanks Nisa. Your words mean much to me. Alluring… wow. Who knew?
this sparks deep thoughts… and many questions…
…. and, makes me want to feed your fishes over there —————->

I love the idea and visual of a “A kaleidoscope of memories dancing”…
But, those hooks…
those darn hooks..
There’s always a hook… isn’t there?
Damn Motherfuckin’ hooks! Always. And the hooks are in me deep. I’m trying to get them out without doing too much damage. ha ha!
