Balance

Facts explode and dreams implode
My days of wear my nights of dare.
But together they are one load.
A mixture of the real and rare

One is weary dreary or bright
Depending on the bite of day
One a fantasy of the night
A wish a wile, a tricks display.

Most will separate the two
Two categories of deed
One an option what you do
The other a wished for need

I file away the fantasies
Portfolio each day of work
Portion out the ecstasies
And limit life to simply irks.

I dip my cup the dreamers well
But only sip to keep the spell

your ream of dream within the scheme
of rhyme in time suits well my mind
I trip along the fantasy
to wear me well your reverie...

Seymour darling boy and writer of days wisdom, have you any idea how spectacular this poem is? No probably not since you entirely lack all conceit, then let me tell you darling heart it is awesome, and no I am not just saying that. Naturally the rhythm is perfect and the flow is utterly utterly spot on. Your writing is never less than perfect sometimes however even I am amazed at the beauty you mange to weave through your words. This is simply perfect and I love it.

Whenever my soul needs guidance I simply dip into your deep pools of wisdom and my equanimity is restored. Wonderful writing as always your words sing to the soul

Perfect writing darling heart absolutely perfect


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire

and THAT is my too cool for school line of the day...
your poetic balance is like a rhymed ballet...every motion...is pure poetry...
and your wisdom keeps the rest of us on our toes.

and ya know i am diggin those internal rhymes divine.
Mind if I sip a sample?

Tinker-toes  LOL

Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they don't mean that much ...
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch.

Beer, wine or spirits, Sy?
Sometimes, even coffee will keep the spell, if the conditions are right.

I know...I know...I'm late for your morning *sigh* Sy..
...but, I wasn't feeling well, and besides,
this goes down just as well in the evening too!

The very first line had my attention....

Seymour Hi there Finally I can get on here to reply to your wonderful poem, you have no idea how inconvenient are mum’s computer problems. How could she kill it like that I do not know.

This is an excellent write from you I really enjoyed it, the lines flow incredibly smoothly and the content is as all of your are excellent. Your use of form and structure cannot be bettered. Really exquisite work

Love and warm stuff
As always
