Long Carrousel Poems

Differences – you say !

I – me Lass – brave Helios, rides his golden chariot, 
drawn by fiery Steeds, into the vastness of this universe.

These mighty Titans, dispatched – brilliant, glowing -
ruled, controlled the blueness...

Translation of Marcel Moreau's " A Paris " by T. Wignesan

IN PARIS

My heart weighted down with melancholia
The spleen given over to asthenia
Empties its own sense of loss on to...

Tonight, the moon shall display a dim light
For those who shall explore the night
Explorers beware...
For you approach the night's lair...

Slowly, the sun begins to dim the sky's glow,
while the moon appears as the last string...

I listened to loved ones reading the names of those they lost on 9/11 and long before the reading was through….I remember thinking to myself…How can you miss someone you never knew?

Some of the people...

A glass of wine 

This is ridiculous it has no name engulfed by sadness, two bottles of wine and cigarettes 
and I’m drowning. Tomorrow no more, but I know when the sun falls so will...

In the darkest nights beyond the clouds of thunder,
I know the moon is shining still,
Somewhere far, yet still. It dwells and glitters yonder,
Darkest nights our sun can't kill.

I'm an angel of death who glistens moonlight...

Once upon a midsummer’s night,
I dreamed a dream of horses white,
of Billy goats and little fishes-
of dogs and cats and childhood wishes.
I dreamed of a dragon living by the sea,
and of the child I used...

The Carrousel of sex 

My sister held a party she lived across the road from us
my wife wouldn’t go she was not on speaking terms with
my sister as they often did.
There were many women there,...

Smooched in candy apple she pouched her cinnamon lips

The fair had come into town with travellers and wagons

It was that time of the year when dreams would come true

Glittered in mellow fairy dust of innocence...

Need An Excuse

Why would I ever need an excuse
When I wanted to pursue a ruse
Making love followed by romance
At barroom while we would dance.

Did dance around like on a carrousel 
Something about you seemed to...

When you saw me on the carrousel
You knew you had found love
You waited till I had fun with my friends
Before approaching me with steady steps;
When my friends saw you approaching
They knew what was bound to...

Twisted it might be 
Yet lovely is what most describe

It might be imagined as a carrousel
For some of its scenes are continual

Beads embed it together
Holding it strong and light as a feather

It's not heavy nor...

How Often
By Franklin Price
8/6/2019

How often did we dwell on things
Before the internet
Before it was as fast as now 
Not very much, I'd bet 

And what about the TV
Thousands of channels now to view
Internet is now...

I have yet to determine a purpose
   The bedazzle causes the children to run
But the idea, I can't quite interpret 

   A merry go round...

and close, it frightens me
The horses blur, their rainbow colour fades to grey
Music screams of fun, bells loudly sound
Children's delight wins it all

Dance me to the moon 
on a wintry day of snow
and glistening light 
Hold me in your arms 
and make me swoon
like love does on a winter tide   

Beneath a parapet of stars...

My baggage had at last caught up with me.
It and I had parted ways some years past;
tossed out and thrown away the master key.
But here it is, returned; the die is cast.

It had been round...

Come ride this stress ball from hell, a burning carrousel
A joy ride of pain and we cannot stop the rain 
Love me for I cannot love myself 
I'm burning 

Love rapes you and your tears...
