A Beautiful Mind

The deep dark alleys of the mind, long and unwinding to the core,

A few we know so well, some, yet to explore,

Beautiful memories of yesterday are hidden in a shrine,

Yet there are those that hurt, its a bittersweet galore.

There's a search for some answers yet a few questions arise,

The need to forget some, but the urge to know more,

And a few virgin by-lanes, a mystery to the core.

A few dark desires, some shine with a light divine,

An unending noise in some, a few ring with a melodic chime,

There's a will to succeed yet the weakness to give in to crime,

There's a belief in eternity yet the fear of running out of time.

Secrets dwell deep inside, never shall they come to the fore,

A needless hate for some, yet there are those we adore,

A sense of wonder, a moment of fear,

A subconscious smile, a forced tear,

They're all treasured, emotions of every kind,

Its a treacherous place, yet a beautiful mind.
