No Love

Should I fall asleep???
The bitter release
Of narcolepsy???
Or should I soar???
Loving no more
Opening the pores???
Or exposing surfaces??
Freeing metaphorically
My shining being???
Giving no love???
In rising above
Cooing like a dove???
Singing rhyming songs???
Floating on clouds
Doing my rounds???
Concerts sold out???
With lyrics so smart
Fans who won't part???
Adoring in my time???
With timing that shines
Cd's that everyone's buying???
Gold records to display???
On walls with replay
Cashing royalty checks today???
So I can't fall asleep???
Or I'll miss my beat
In feeling life's heat???
Losing the alarm???
Of life's calling
Mobs that are mauling???
So I better stay awake???
Enjoying life's earthquake
My talent no one can shake???

Eminem song "No Love"

Let me see, so many questions, most I would say yes to, just a few I might say no. Your thoughts are always such a wild adventure to read Holly. I am never disappointed when I search through your work.

It's in the questioning of our own artistry??? What is it worth??? To ourselves??? To the public??? ???
