"step inside step inside
past futures revealed
money cheerfully refunded
answer only a few questions

Crystal Ball reveals all if..."

So pounds pavement
echoes swirling AllMansTime
Plazas change curtains as Globe
glass perchance even natural

Enter your chance amusement
silently bowing paying slightly guiltly
The Fee

whims blow with wind
and who could possibly gauge
that cost therein

ENTER the garrish facade
but you must pull/push aside curtains
and actually show your face
to the darkness save enshrined globe

Questions questions more questions
I did not pay a quarter/dracma/sixpence...
to hear you ask of me questions
I seek answers and fun- Silence bites off your
tongue you listen
             perhaps first only time
                  this time you paid your quarter
                      cannot stop your ears
                         nor move your tongue

he/she speaks while your ears begin to bleed

"And how is it
  thou closes
    the burgeoning portals
      of the ALL is thy mind actually so crowded"

Crystal Ball spins yellow green blue blood red
     fitting too fitting you cringe

"Ye seeker sullen
  joyous murderer kind
    oh not with blade nor stone
     cease thy pretense prognostative
      ye know impaling futures shard of nothingness"

"Live Fear secret neath velvet veil
   no quilts sufficent ere be woven
     covering no threads per inch sufficent
       Nor escaping illumination might ever
         be henceforth called forth piercing"

Crystal Ball spins blue purple drips blood red

"An etching of tomorrow guilded red here now
  you parted the curtains daring redress forgiveness
    You for a single quarter would dare to face
      more than past all yesterdays tomorrows that
        you dare utter the words 'Half a Chance"

Crystal Ball Tells All

Ushered away with a glance
Your quarter is cheerfully refunded
Knowing the world knows you
knowing you haven't half that chance
you tried so to pay for

The Crime
Pay your quarter
push back the curtains
and find out for yourself
If the Crystal Ball Truly Tells ALL

Ask the madman
screaming through the Midway/Carnival/Mystic Tent...

I know someone, personally, who felt he needed to travel the circus. I hope he sees this. Time is unraveling.

Well done, Sir.

In crystal ball
Is tomorrow seen?
Holding in hope
Through mystic dream.
Dancing thought of mind
Hazy swirls of mist,
‘Tis only yourself
future in resist.

Gaze the colors
Truth be sought
Reap the lessons
Mystic ball wrought.

Thanks Gentle
I do believe you grasped it all
and added a touch of self to complete
the enthrall

Merci, to all

Eternity's Horizons,
   I think I may have been in that exact tent before.  How the circus does travel.
Very deep.  I'll have to search this out again sometime!  Your writing continues to grow on me.

Why thank you Sadelite
One cannot help but notice your words
shall I say dig deep

And for myself, no offense to the often pictured bony fingered one (whom I trust is practicing his scales- chords and scales- are the basis of all musical understanding old friend) am glad to be released from that psuedonym- it just did not suit. perchance I shall write a bit of verse about how that came about some time. It might amuse.

Thanks again, and keep on digging, "there's gold in them there words."

Consultation of the oracle
determines nothing
but
if discernment lies within.

So sayeth the witch.

I do love this much.

Absolutely enchanting.

Why thank you
To have one scribblings read at all is a compliment, but that anyone might wish to peruse them more than once, is indeed, quite honestly humbling.

Therefore humble thanks
