Nette Onclaud Poet Blitz

Circus of Life

Watch the lights
Watch the circus
Circus of dreams
Circus of dream’s illusions
Illusions etched in the mind
Illusions from false grandeur
Grandeur bites reality
Grandeur wields puppets 
Puppets of hardened men
Puppets clutched unto ropes
Ropes thick as curtains
Ropes opening dark theaters
Theaters for crowds lonely
Theaters booming
Booming under walls
Booming down on grim faces
Faces acting joyful
Faces with masks
Masks for sunken tears
Masks for rich donors
Donors in need 
Donors in shadows lost
Lost among hours farce
Lost through bottomless time
Time a  vagrant
Time grating a heart
Heart colder than rock 
Heart numb to love
Love that is endearing 
Love that can touch
Touch a moon beneath the rain 
Touch an air of  laughter
Laughter down from the belly
Laughter from a special one
One who gives openly 
One who delights in wonder
Wonder of new journeys
Wonder of sorrow
Sorrow lifting faith
Sorrow healing  bleak nights
Nights without masquerades
Nights without dead flowers
Flowers naturally awake
Flowers aflame
Aflame and not below weeds
Aflame with life
Life spilling breath that abides
Life drifting with its god
God...
Abides..

Bl Devnath September 8, 2015 at 12:34 PM You are a genius philosopher and a Doctor too because you have related a nice chain how sensation causes in the masses and how they react in to our mind one after another.

Paul Callus September 6, 2015 at 8:37 AM This is the perfect example of how a blitz works; deftly planned. Title and topic have to be seen to before any writing starts, in order to avoid hiccups along the way. Very smooth and easy flowing. ~ hugs // paul
