The Carousel

The Carousel As I watch my carousel standing still my only dwell In the vortex of its spell convoluted in my only yell My mind falls in its wake cadent circles that forsake I sliver with the snake leaving ruins with heartache *** My eyes shut to the I, spinning thoughts will awry Languishing lips calcify upon lost imagery to crucify Round & round they go dissolving dreams I borrow Happiness says hell-lo as it leaves me in its shadow *** Hurricane of my abyss telling secrets that I shall miss In their blasphemous bliss, morbid storms reminisce Reaching terminal velocity amidst its ill monstrosity Carousel of curiosity drowning in dynamic viscosity *** An elliptical awareness melds allusions of unfairness Within a secluded rareness posturing, you defenseless A salivating swell with sorrows that comply & compel For my none-stop Carousel the merry-go-round of hell.

I have been watching from a distance, this ride swirling out of control. Moments are slowing down now- so I am able to congratulate you on this win, my Warrior with Wings. Hopefully you can sit still, for a few. Love and Merry-go-round moments. :) Brandy

Hmmm, I think I will pass on this ride, on that Carousel. Doesn't sound swell to me at all. But then again- I am not one to spin in darkness. Not in this way, anyway. :) Yikes. Once again, you create a whirlwind of emotions with your words. Well done my friend. ~ Brandy

Wow, a merry-go-round of hell, I would think it would be a misery-go-round. :) Nicely done my friend. Best of luck in the contest
