Ivory Tower

The more you desire the greater your disappointment
Talking only expels wind
Deed and action make a person
Emotions are but cruel tricks

To be without feelings the ultimate goal
Strive to be carefree
Blood races through the body
A heart – only a curse

Surround yourself in porcelain illusions
Hide away in the lone tower
Fear not as the walls shake
Your resolve will protect

Defy all that would alter your course
Control that wish you have
Remove those that weaken your will
Stay safe within your fortress

makes me think you've been reading my critical reviewers on my peace poems...lol
- joking aside, yes - ivory tower or ostrich's head in sand... many choose to just hide in their fantasy security...and it relates to relationships, too, eh?
