Pent-up Emotions


Betrayal?, originally uploaded by haechoo.

There are moments in life,
when the heart is so full of emotion
That if by chance it be shaken,
or into its depths like a pebble
Drops some careless word, it overflows, and its secret,
Spilt on the ground like water, can never be gathered together.

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

And then there are dream times,
When the head offers the heart sojourn,
But if you should be awaken,
for your body is rested,
Flutter open your eyelids, and breathe in the morning air,
Thrust into the day, your vivid thoughts gone -
in a moment's time, not even a snatch of them remain.
