Premium Member The Rapunzel-Princess of the Flying Trapeze
Suspended with roses, a garter and courage. Her wispy white costume blows in the breeze. Silky vibrations as she sways her bodice — the Rapunzel-princess of the swinging trapeze. Brunette hair and outfit bound with pearls and lace. High with Magellanic clouds, marvelous outlander of earth. Slender fingers wrapped around the seraphic twine. Daughter of the heavens, from the day a trouper...

Premium Member Faith and Fear On the Trapeze
Up high on our soul’s trapeze we tire of the bar we hold but we find it hard to release our known. Eyeing the free bar full of potential we wish to air dive, then clutch-catch that swing.

Premium Member Super Human
An incredible journey, a delightful insight, Performing under the big top, Flying through air, on a wing and a prayer, Hanging just like a plumb bob, And the tent is in black, all lights are on you, Dressed in your leather costume, Every eye in the house cradles your frame, Hoping you don’t fall to your doom, But you...

Mary's Trapeze
Mary can't catch her death from tornadoes As she sits on the cage with a swing of her legs They whisper upstairs for a change in the weather While young Daddy Bling lights a fire to caress.
