    coping with composure

     i can deal with the moon, it's real.
    it causes me my visions.
    i can see you in my dreams,
    oh, a full on collision.
    liquorish whips and lemon drops,
    the truth remains untold.
    HEY!, i don't choose the way i feel.
    (now a lie),
    i won't lose control.

    Always on that edge, especially if one has fallen off in the past. The knowledge that one can fall is frightening and keeps each compartment guarded - on alert - just in case. Again - brevity is key for the impact you present licorice whips and lemon drops - the bitter with the sweet. NICE. I loved this. ~Pamela

    Tyke - Something tells me you're quite able to maintain your composure. When you are awake that is. :) Sometimes however, there is no controlling the feelings we have or denying ones needs when we dream. Good job. Ken

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
