Brave utterances set aside for honest reflection. A work of an intricate mind.

This poem is really about trying to escape reality and the reality that you really can't.

I agree with Fabrizio below me David... It is a very interesting poem.. Btw, your use of 'abab' rhyme scheme is also good as it gives the poem a nice flow... Thank you for sharing...

''With no thought of tomorrow'' remember me those lines from 'Il trionfo di Bacco e Arianna', by Lorenzo de' Medici: ''..chi vuol esser lieto, sia: di doman non c'è certezza '' = there is no certainty in 'tomorrow', so be happy 'now' but then you say ''But tomorrow is upon you / Now how will you hide'' thus: if you want to be happy 'now', then you have to accept what you'll get later.. ;) thanks for sharing ciao
