Po that would be something I would never take.. since I was a kid I would dream of places I have never been, if I had a single thought about ice cream or a unicorn it would appear in my dream in an instant.. Then as I aged the innocence was replaced with fear and worry and my dreams then started to become reality. Except nothing good came from them.. I then aged some more and my thirst for truth and answer's opened my mind to explore all we wore created for and that's when the real magic happened. I could fall asleep with a simple thought about where I want to be and what I wish to do and boom!!!! I have control over how I choose to spend my sleeping hours. My mind travels to places I never even knew existed. These places are out side of my dreams, but as I sleep I know not to go to far as I get an uncomfortable feeling the more I drift and wonder off chasing colors of energetic fire balls of crazyness. I see people who passed Away but its no fairytale, its actually a very uneasy feeling of discomfort and border line scary...
From dreaming to been able to tap into psychic ability I just feel it in my bones that their is wayyyy more to explore and understand. I would be afraid drugs may be an interference regarding me been in control.. When fear hits my dreams in any shape or form I am calm. I know its just an illusion so I dont panic, when you panic you are no longer dreaming, you are in the very center of your own nightmare. Mine can be soooo wild and scary so I need to stay in control ?

Ghazala, thank you for your kind yet powerful words.
And yes! She was once as weak as a dead horse and as fragile as her nans china set,until she found her worth and blossomed like the amazing butterfly she is...
And when that emotion she buried came knocking back, in an instant she forgot her self until he made her eyes flow yet again. she remembered how she got her strength and why. Her eyes dried up like the Sahara desert and her body no longer felt like she was a diabetic having a fit. She became who she has always been. STRONG..

Excellent Richard, I herald from Fleetwood just along the coast from Blackpool. As a child going to the Tower was a real treat..

Highly effective lines Richard. We are in the presence of blowsiness and atmosphere that clings like shit to a blanket (sorry that's a musician's expression). I spent seasons in the winter garden playing for dances, and together with a romantic affair there is lots to remember, including Les Dawson!
I'm not sure whether Adolf would have enjoyed the new pleasure beach !
Thanks for making my day.

Great sentiment to this piece. Some sound imagery as well.?
On a side note, have you ever tried blue lotus (lily) tea? It definitely kicks lucid dreams up a notch.

Hi Ray!
Hope you have a good year! Really loved The INN- to be really nitpicking, 'barman' in the second last verse seems out of context as this is presumably the Roundheads versus Royalists period, and it would have been a tavern/Inn. Wouldn't 'landlord' be better, as barman is a more modern word?
If you tell me to mind my own business or get lost or something coarser, it's quite OK! Anyway really great poem as one expects from you.
Jennifer

Spot on Keith...Empires rise and fall. Britain is still dining out on hers. Spain and Italy are now also rans. I think the USA will endure because of its population and land mass. China is on the rise, but it is based on cheap labour, poor human rights, poor H&S, and poor industrial environment...all of which will come back to bite them I believe.

With her mind at ease and her intentions clear she started to yank all the weeds from her garden.
She sat back and watched the magic blossom from the vibrant colourful garden she has now created and she promised to help plant the seeds for those who lost their garden tools in their time of darkness. Her light shines bright for the whole world
very positive and optimistic approach....well written... some how i can feel, that this poem is for me....beautiful?

Thanks Mark, I will check out The Listeners. It's a bit of fun conjuring up the past.
Jennifer, just what I wanted to hear! From brain to keyboard to brain, job done!
I'm glad this was enjoyable Po. The mind and the eye can be like a camera, at least for me. Thanks.

Hi David, thanks for the comment. Yes, we are all searching for some explanation, some meaning. Maybe, discoveries like this help in our understanding, or just open up more unknowns.
Maybe, he will grow one. ?

Great poem! Nice and brief but conjures up a wealth of atmosphere and delight.
I especially love the reference to candy floss (sweet smell from pink hair to eat), and the sense of awe and wonder in this piece.
Well done Richard mate!

Yes, the tea doesn't really affect you during daytime hours, but taken before bed, and your dreams will amplify significantly.
Po, I always have biscuits. It doesn't matter if we're talking Texas Toast or a damn cheese roll. I gots it locked down.
(Sorry for addressing Po via your lovely piece, Lisa)
