Traces and faces

Traces of places stare on odd faces
Dance and prance on the chance of a glance
They chase and they base on a fragile embrace
On the slightest tweak and peek of enhance.

They stir and entwine like cloths on a line
Phantoms and ghosts in the back of your mind.
They wine you and dine you on the past of consigned
One that has stayed but can’t be aligned.

And you stare and you glare at the person there
You smile turns to red and you lower your head
Tongued tied and bare as to what to declare.
And at that moment wished you were dead.

They’re momentum of moment’s derailment
Important and not important as the case may be
They’re emplacement of subbasement encasement.
Whatever the case they are based in absent tea.

So I’d declare the originals original
To stop the glare of the jackass stare
Although the likely hood quite marginal
Haven’t I seen you before somewhere?

They say nonsense is a wits preserve so
I hope you enjoyed this nonsense observe?

Doesn't sound like nonsense to me..It has an odd sense about it though. I very much enjoyed this, poet sir. :supergrins: GOOD MORNING!

I am bound by this, you see...to become Night's sole mistress, and I am jealous in my endeavours for his attention.

Nonsense? - Nonsense!

I think being silly is in the air right now, SY... though I must say I always enjoy the use of internal rhyme in a poem.

"Dance and prance on the chance of a glance"

Good morning!

Only your "nonsense" could make so much sense.
And this lil gem of your poetic crown declares you STILL the reigning king of inner rhyme divine.
As well as unique vocabulary and witty, clever phrases.

See what I mean  
and that IS rapberry tea, right?  
very cool write Sy-babes
*ww* me  

It's such a clever innocence with which you show myself to me
As if you know how it feels to never be who you wanted to be
