PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

fantasies over all owe one's conscience

indeed a great debt

though they can be fine upon acceptable

occasion

and often quite fun

one must proceed most carefully

but still yet

fantasies can serve a healthy purpose

but only for so long

until the measure of negative impact upon

one's reality becomes much too strong

then one must drop the charade without question

and though these mentioned terms of play

do not always play out as fair

we each must learn to live with them

as for any subjected individual

near perfection at any level of life

is nil to rare

so for all partial practitioners

of the episodic ideal dream lover

do be most wearily aware............
