Short Gyroscope Poems

From volcano's peak
    to dungeons of despair
  Scream to a stop, gyroscope of emotions
    for you are ... not there...

This feeling...
  feet fairly skipping
knees a bit wobbly
  the lump in the throat

Heart pounding away
  lips drier than crackers
arms cloaked with gooseflesh
  head spinning like a gyroscope
    
If this isn't love, it is quite the distraction ~
  ~ Believe me, I'm feeling sheer stupefaction...

Everywhere I go, I see melting
Structures caressed by One love
Abides throughout internal time

Like tall trees playing tai chi
My star is back with purity unseen
When life's gyroscope finally
Passes through my ancient celtic screen

Problems of man see small
Amidst the mystery of all
Can at last breath and relax...

Orange yellow gyroscope
Like hovering above nowhere
Watching moving obstacles
Adjusting to wind gusts
Looking like it 
Would pack a punch
Ever so carefully
It  maneuvers to get
To the entrance
The hole in the vent
Has been blocked
By some monster
Called human but
It finds a way round
And enters into 
Its hideaway....

Listen to poem:

winds whirling clouds about
within the confines of this mind
stirred emotions in motion
stagnant waters notwithstanding
spinning all perspectives askew

after the pub crawl
where will we land
if not by the sea
practicing our butterfly stroke
under a monarch moon

The tug of ellipses
measures our weight
in the vivid gyroscope
clustered by gases
noble cloaked in
the curtain

to benefit from the
necessary intrusion
of thought coercion
until no fool or genius
questions the majesty
around us

or the ineligibility
of humans to pass
themselves off as
dabbling masters of
gods behind dangled
talisman logic....
