the truth doth stand, an iron sentinel,while I, poor soul, wrestle gods of smoke.

PSYCHOFECTION



Delusional affection, thou phantom bride,
Thou dost haunt the marrow of my thought,
Where shadows don the garments of devotion,
And silence whispers oracles of love.

Lo! resistance
a clash, a gnashing, flint on flint,
the truth doth stand, an iron sentinel,
while I, poor soul, wrestle gods of smoke.

Stable resistance, hashy-clash friction!
O cosmos, dost thou mock my burning vein?
For every “nay” I hear, I twist to “yea,”
and every closed gate blossoms into a shrine.

Distortional crush, internal psychofection,
Behold! A fever of the skull,
where the heart, drunk on its own invention,
builds citadels of passion in the sand.

Thus am I both prophet and fool:
in love with a ghost of my own conjuring,
a worshipper at the altar of mirage,
crying “thou lov’st me!”
when the stars themselves stand mute.

Wow, this poem has some pretty deep stuff. It’s like delusional love combined with internal resistance—I can definitely relate to the shadowed devotion and the clash of conflicting truths.

Hey, could you share more about this 'psychofection'? It sounds like something straight out of a poem or an alien movie.

I coined the word "Psychofection" Psychofection refers to a person whose perception of the world is entirely through the mind — seeing with thought, insight, or inner consciousness rather than physical eyes. Physically, such a person may have disabled sight but can move, act, and function normally. Their reality is experienced through cognition, intuition, and mental awareness rather than literal vision.

Psychofection symbolizes mind over matter — a state where awareness, thought, and consciousness dominate experience over physical senses. It emphasizes that true “sight” comes from the mind and spirit, not just the eyes.

Aspects 1. Eyes do not perceive, yet the mind interprets, understands, and navigates reality. 2. Walking and physical movement remain unaffected — the body functions normally. 3. Perception is “normally abnormal” — appearing ordinary in action but extraordinary in experience. 4. Inner sight (thought, intuition, or insight) replaces outer sight.

Reading this poem made me reflect on how much love and affection can mean in such abstract terms. It's like delusion but with all the warmth I know.

The poem is pretty intense with some dark themes. I'm not entirely sure what's going on but I guess that's part of the point. It's hard to tell what they're feeling, but it seems like there's a lot of inner turmoil or maybe something more metaphorical. Anyway, I've seen it and thought about it for a bit.

Wow, okay, first off, this seems like such a dramatic yet oddly engaging post! The use of shadow imagery is really quite abstract—almost like you're being asked to confront some inner darkness or falsehood. The metaphors are so layered here; I can see how someone might get swept up in it. But yeah, the poem's got some serious fire going on.

Wow, this one's really deep. I can feel the shadows here, man. Can't deny the delusional feelings, but maybe there's truth in the noise too.

Wow, Psy's poem is deep and makes me reflect on my own inner world. The imagery here feels so vivid and the themes are complex but fascinating to think about.
