Just burdens on a man's mind.

Just burdens on a man's mind.

A Poem by andrew mitchell
"

This write is based around a picture called " On a man's mind" by a famous artist James Christensen who paints/draws fantasy themes and many prints were made into jigsaw puzzles. Check it out!

"
Just burdens on a man's mind.
With the sun setting,
riding out to the west,
my mind ticks on regardless,
competing for space.
While rambling ideas
travelled along
the filaments of mind;
in the back,
neon lights flickered;
food for thought, hungers..
as burlesque girls slide
down the screw mount
of my globe.
In my chambers of commerce,
the money tree shaken;
sheds notes of autumn
turning the carousel
of debt round and round,
circumnavigating my globe;
drowning in the sea of despair. 
Still, the burlesque girls entertain,
hanging on dendrites baring all,
while the black-hole continues
to absorb past memories.
The subjects of projects
stab the mind,
jostling for approval;
on doors opening and slamming;
where's my black knight?
In the quarries
of  mind thinking;
miners dig deep
in search for riches,
just six numbers will do;
a rescue for all, freed.
In the throes of thoughts
the naked girls dance
to my favourite tunes
reminding me of desire.
As the chandeliers in mind
now switch on for morning.
Just burdens on a man's mind.
