I'm sorry to be so far behind in reviewing, but very glad that I didn't miss this jewel of a poem. You speak to many with these words, I'm sure. Relationships are fraught with ups and downs, aren't they? I guess the trick is to focus on the 'ups' and let the 'downs' slip away as easily as we can (no pun intended - LOL)

Hi Dawn,
no worries about being behind,it seems to be my life at the moment.
Never feel pressured to go back if you haven't the time, you got so much flying to do... And I mean that about your writing, obviously on other sites and such.
I wrote this one about my relationship with myself and that is always an up and down proposition... So now I try the level approach... No ups and hopefully no downs. Thank you so much for coming back to revisit this poem. I do appreciate the fact, I have a friend in you and I do love the support you give me... Thank you lovely lady... There is a warm spot in my heart for you.
Kindest thoughts,
James xx

Comment from Janice Canerdy
Yes, those games we pay early in a relationship can be a real turn-on, but after a time--not so much! Unpredictable people are hard to trust, leaving our heads spinning. I enjoyed your well-written, thought-provoking poem.

Hi Janice,
thank you for your interpretation in your review, but it was all about the relationship with myself. I do appreciate the review and stars, I can be a tad cryptic at times.

In your author notes, you hit the nail on the head with that explanation. This is a great poem, truly self explanatory of its write. Enjoyed this James.

Comment from adewpearl
Good use of occasional rhyme
Effective use of questions to intensify emotion
lovely alliteration in phrases like sparkling streams
excellent consonance of L sounds in the flashes of colors line and in the final line
expressive emotion in good poetic form :-) Brooke

Comment from JM daSilva
Since according to Freudian psychoanalysis, there is the ego, the superego and the id. And according to many religions three entities make up the image of God- Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, and so on- is it any wonder you are divided? We are all divided like this. The id (I want, I desire, I'm everything, give me what I need now), the superego (obey me, be moral, do what I tell you, I'm god, I'm an authority, comply, comply, comply) and the ego, the being between these two forces. There you are. This poem is great and so sane.

Hi JM,
what a classic take on our split selves. And here it thought it was only the good and evil 'Goofy' that made all the decisions. Thanks so much for your exceptional review my friend, it is truly appreciated..

Comment from Jade Lawson
As I say "happiness is a choice", disregard negative feelings and people who may cause it in your life. If you face life with a positive atitude, positive outcome it will be.
Loved the artwork choice and the easy going flow as well as the emotions floating all through this poem, great work. Excellent artwork choice and colours. Also, good rhyming scheme. Loved to read it, really introspective.

Comment from mikenbel
This is really good James - and once we love and understand ourselves the rest of the world falls into place. In stanza two try:
"It's WHAT I believe in
It's WHERE we belong"
See how that flows.
