Fall from grace

The raging disquiet notwithstanding
The mind still ravishes at ‘the thought’.
Riddance seems impossible
So does the feigning of nonchalance

Schmaltz is the tone of memory
Until the addiction begins to haunt.
Imaginations are aroused; Poetic words are formed;
Delectable is the feeling until reality dawns.

Between the ears, the war has screamed on
Picking no winner between Yes and No.
Caught between selfishness and trust,
The mind silently bears the brunt.

For the mind such dichotomies are frequent, but
This fall from grace undermines everything else.

    If I didn’t have WordWeb installed, I could not have finished reading the poem. May be that’s my problem :P .
    But I really liked the third stanza..
