I have had such thoughts before
That briefest of moments then it faded away
Looking down the rabbit hole, strings
Hypnotic calls from deep below
I have had such thoughts before
And none may know my darkest point
I would be wise to hold back a converse
On any such words to describe intentions
To bring to life; I have deniability for now
It was of a phase alien and with confiding
None may know I have deniability for now
And shades of grey will not near my grace again 
Looking down the rabbit hole

...great line! A nice write Kodjo.
I agree with Poet Laundry - indeed a great line.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the overall poem as well, the last line not only giving a hint at the context, but also giving hope that in denying those thoughts one could also be free of them.
A fine and deptful write here, Kodjo.
ReplyDeleteI second the Poet Laundry's statement - that is a really really great line from a great read :)

I love the opening two couplets - wonderful rhythm and imagery!
ReplyDeleteVery deep ponderings, and so well expressed.
ReplyDeleteGreat poem. Loved the read
ReplyDeleteI love the line "a phase of alien"
ReplyDeleteAnd you beginning is stunning, so gray and the descent of spiraling
downward!
This really gives us a lot to ponder!
Well Done
