Ringmasters Poems


Moving On

Entering the door 
Mind like a child
Trusting and believing
Imagination wild

Blinded by seduction
Excitement takes hold
Willing to chance
On stories untold

Mornings became bright 
Happy days and nights
Just knowing we can
With or without tights

Tried and tested we
Adventure inspired
Hiding from reality
Both were over wired

Our tender moments
Memories made
Caused a flutter
A raging tyrade

Beauty and passion
Wonderful combination
Then distance came
A huge revelation

Changes slowly
Creeping starts to show
All that we'd shared
Blow after blow

It's a circus out there
Clowns and ringmasters
Pure of heart
Lured to disasters

Words became empty
Repetive like a song
Without actual contact
We became wrong

No cake and eating
Ultimatum offered
Deaf ears those words
No longer bothered

With head held high
Hair glowing bright
Happiness returning
Refusing to fight

Premium MemberEach Had Their Lovey

They each had their lovey
Instead of each other
It used to be just the two of them
But they reverted back to their childhood
Before they found each other
Before they realized they could heal 
as a unit 
As a united unit
As a united unit of themselves
So they stayed on their own side
of their balloon bed, being clowns 
with their loveys, 
both afraid to reach out
and be what they knew they could be
as they had been it before
Sad how misunderstandings 
hurt them and kept them in two
separate rings now
Their dream ringmasters 
tried to get them back together
but frankly, they had forgotten
their healing ways,
and they parted soon after.

The Pawn

Since I found this plight
bound by unchageable shapes and controls,
it had become my own comfort zone
that sometimes , I feel trapped.	 

Strings on my neck choke 
as repeated patterns bring me back ,
to a never -ending void of selflessness...
life, I yearn for your freedom's touch.

In this circus of life's charade,
I follow the magicians and ringmasters
without a power to access my instincts...
but the the show must go on.

Premium MemberThe Entertainer, a Game of Cups

Scripted television nanny

All the Lions roared their approval
dancing puppets

Stars shown twinkling delight
mask global death

My favorite football team
diverts my attention

Smiling ringmasters bow to each other
chosen talent cheered like god
(even call themselves jesus)

While blinded by the sun (tv)
the world devil cult
plays us like a game of cups

Cows, smiling, entertained to satisfaction
shuffling towards
hamburger
rapture

Towards
Hamburger
Rapture

Family Circus

Welcome to the show!
Bickering, maddening, lying, carnival of fools.
Circus of family.
Ringmasters of entertainment.
Clowns, and sideshow freaks.
Artists of balance, tamers of Lion's.
All working without a net.
