Isn'T It Ironic

I'm not quite sure if she is lost or in route
Tornadoes of passion wisp her away
   But inevitably, they cause dispute
The ironic glue that makes her stay

   Excited, confident, proud and ashamed
A soup of emotions, each extreme
   A recipe only God could explain
A frozen water droplet and a puff of steam

   On her tip toes, atop the Eiffel Tower 
Dangling by a thread of hope
   Don't inquire time, for she knows not the hour
Clinched tightly to a swinging rope

   She rides the little hand around the clock
Her defense remains the same
    Beneath par, but it will tick and tock
Til half past time to claim

Wow! Your imagination is soaring and expressive. I noticed you select 'free verse' when, in fact, you rhyme (which I love.) Most creative, Anna ... CayCay

I like your poem, which could be about humans in general because of our complexity. A 7. Julia, :)
