The Carousel
Lately I've had to grit my teeth to find the strength to breathe Even my favorite things are becoming unbearable I use to find it beautiful that life is like a carousel but I've been at the fair for too long and I can't take one more sad song I don't wanna be in the cold when the music stops and...

The funfair was in full swing. And why not, now it was Spring. To the carousel, Ella and me, We tried to find a horse that was free. Places on horses were taken by all Except for one, it was a windfall. Ella sat in front, holding the sturdy pole Whilst I sat holding her waist like a mole. Music played a radiant...

The Amazement of Wonder
Flashing and flickering lights on a large Ferris wheel Ornately painted horses on an old circus carousel Brightly colored balloons set free Branches gracefully swaying on a willow tree Children happily playing at a park Glowing yellow dots from the fireflies in the dark Kisses from a fuzzy puppy on my face Shooting stars flying through space The amazement of wonder shall...

How did I become a human from stardust? Born from stardust, a prisoner of the sky and earth, Hidden by the distant stars and scattered by the wind in the night, I feel like a nobody among forests and mountains, among rocks and cliffs. I am the dishonest one who drinks from the reservoir of sincerity In a process that...

The Burning Carousel
The burning Carousel A fire raged in the darkness that resembled a postcard sent from hell It was destroying the once beautiful vision that was the old town Carousel Large striking white horses that in the past stood like angels in the night Were all now fiercely burning as they cast an eerie sight The smell of the charred wood...

Crossing the bridge of life hand in hand Your kisses just seem to know where to land Caressing my body you light my fire Your tantalizing touch is all I desire You have landed on the runway to my heart A sign that our lovemaking is about to start A guiding light shines from high above Ride with me on a carousel...

Premium Member Life spins on a carousel of shadows and stars
Life spins on a carousel of shadows and stars, A mystic ball that clothes us in dance steps, with them. The tango of fate steals us into its hazy whirl, And each step becomes a heated battle, ablaze. When the world spins a thread too thin, too mundane, Cha-cha awakens our senses, an astral spice. I fly to work in a...

Earth Rider
Welcome all, Please take a seat, Robin’s egg blue or bubblegum pink? Seafoam green or sunflower yellow? The choice is up to you. The ropes will suspend you with the utmost care As the carousel slowly spins. Let your feet dangle, Feel the breeze in your hair, Breathe in deep, Exhale your every care. Offer a smile to an unknown friend, We’re all on this...

Premium Member Riding the Carousel of Chaos
As Earth revolves in time and space, We meet the future face-to-face. While every soul tries to have their day, Their nemeses try to block their way. This causes decades when nothing significant happens, Followed by months when panic and violence happen. As society’s benign merry go ‘round spins faster around, Its political operatives start stepping up...

Carousel
On the outside of the pipeline By the end of the occult session You see: a carousel! Of colours and threads woven through time, Yarn spun with tribal glaze, Maestro wielding the show of the Swan! A Masquerade? Or just another puppet show? The meaning or distinction gone....

Cosmic Carousel
Band organ booms, chimes, one-way-one-trick ponies spin; bright lights, night young, don't look back, turn fast enough and time will disappear and shine....

Walking Whilst Talking Carousel
Take a walk besides me Walk with me Never think or believe you deserve or should walk behind anyone Walk on Take every stride and step purposefully from deep within your soul down to your feet Exhaling with every next lasting gasp and breath All of your innermost woes that torture you inside So in future you can stride forward in and move...

On Life's Carousel
Dont let this chance pass by. In duration As long sat, spins for it. Boils may bring on! Out to world's spectacle A real fairground's To gaze, if in a blur. Grin, if confounds....
