Electric Feel

I don't tend to write long poems, or so it seems. I just like packing in images, and make of them what you will. I know what it means to me, maybe it'll mean something to you? Anyway, its been a long break, so here's a little something. My life is becoming a little intense so there could be more. Or not. Who can ever tell?

Inspired by the song title “Electric Feel” by MGMT, album Oracular Spectacular (not the song itself, just the words of the title got me thinking)

“Electric Feel”

Something unreal here

An electric feel here

Skin crawls breaks likes waves

I don’t know what this is

Ear to the ground

Hand to my heart

Spark my nerves one more time

Keep all ten tingling

Like an awareness high

Full moon and the tide’s gone

Tugging gently away

Seeping rationales

Weak angles, buckling

But never breaks

Not this time

Living on the edge of a coin

Foot over line over foot

Periphery answers in code

Running slipping under

Under something, somewhere

Don’t think I can find it now

Wouldn’t know it if I found it now

There’s something unreal

Only the electric feel


(Additional note: After I initially posted this, somehow an error occured when I copy/pasted from word or something, and the phrase "not this time" got blown up HUGE. I have no idea how it happened, but let's call it a cool trick of fate? Apparently blogger is trying to jazz up my poetry for me. So strange. It actually freaked me out a little!)
