I wear foolishness well. Almost like a badge of honour. Where others exercise prudence and sensibility, I run headlong into situations doomed...that's when I ride the waves... Waves Sit here feeling the breeze that gives birds flight Wondering to myself if today is real or just an illusion Like the pinpoints of stars in the depth of night Listening to my own thoughts come to an orchestral conclusion Does the mind register truth or just the emotion it perceives In the cacophony of psychological silence another symphony starts Every synapse misreading the impulse it receives Like the percussive pounding of a thousand hearts A rhythmic beating of tympani and snare An overture of pure emotional delight Operatic displays of happiness you can't help but to share Time proving relative as days last minutes at the speed of sight This Wagnerian sensation of riding the winds of emotion As this feeling of elation is both surreal and sublime in turn My thoughts are scattered like debris in an ocean Waves of thought extinguishing fires of doubt before they burn © Christian Touchet Please comment below and tell me if Christian's poetry has touched you, as it so often does for most of his readers.

Thank you +Adele Archer. The camera on these iPhones are actually pretty good. And I do enjoy spending time at the beach. Especially the sections that others aren't at.

Thank you very much Nael. It's not the desert but it's equally inspirational to me.

Thank you +Marc Latham. I can't take full credit for the words shape themselves. I'm just a vessel.

Thank you +Brent Jones. I write poetry and regularly post it on google+ and on my blog. I wouldn't say I write with regularity. Periodically and idea, image or phrase will hit me and I'll write about it. I may go several months without writing then write 4-5 a night for a couple nights.
