In Control

...for Stephanie My meaning is mistaken and your offense is taken so in defense you quarantine your soul, and safe inside you set your screens for self-protection so you're always in control.

Very provocative, Keith! It seems Stephanie is one of those sensitive souls who misconstrues words and enacts defense mechanisms. She may not let anything hurt her, but she may also be unable to let love inside the protective "screen" she has erected around her heart. This is an insightful poem, Keith. Maybe you can help Stephanie break down the barriers.

Dear Keith, So often a man's meaning is not understood and a Do not disturb sign hangs on the doorknob: Does one knock or walk away Great Write Always...HG
