My inner ocean
An overflowing pool
Ebbing emotions
Save my crystal tears
in salty dreams
collections of
bottomless fears
Inner sanctum....
everything is labeled
all neat in a row
but reality strikes a match
in darkness
and I turn to go
I run to hide
Afraid to walk
Unable to breathe
As paper tigers stalk
Lock the doors
to my inner room
keys are safe,curled inside
where dreams come true
and nightmares hide
as feral tigers
seek and roam

Poetry is:
Passion, imagination and intellect running together.

Aloha with warmest regards, Cheryl Stewart Koomoa
