It's still revolving.
Endless carousel ride.
My heart.

Once again,
unclaimed freight
and the airport
is closed for repairs.

Was the load too heavy?
Did Love's dimensions
exceed your limits?

My heart.
Carouselled again.
Travelling alone.
Spin, spin, spin.

ive been there,
i will say it again, many many men cannot go to the depths with a woman, they seem to stop
at a certain layer, dont realize a real woman has many layers, not just a surface,

I've been there but after a long while of thinking that i was a freak or  odd-looking.But I found a guy who accepted me for me and so will you! I bet you are a beautiful person inside and out.If you feel unclaimed it's there loss, not yours!!

Heh, this is a nice poem, especially for someone like me who travels a lot because of my divorced parents.  The damned baggage carousel is the most annoying part of it all.

But you use it well for your poem.  It's good that you've chosen such a repetitive metaphor.  Does the airport serve any purpose as a symbol?  I noticed how you sneaked it into the poem, mentioning it being closed for repairs.

Ugh, I love the travelling alone part.  Man, this poem really resonates with me but for all the wrong reasons, lol.  It hits many a chord of memory with me, but I'm not concentrating enough on the meaning you are trying to construct with the images.

Anyhow, a great poem and one that's going into my library.

"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh"

inkedgoddess, yes, both multi-layered and multi-functional.

Lady Death, what a name! Nice to meet you...I think. Thanks for the reply. Their loss may also be mine though.

fractal, thanks for reading and enjoying (?)
sorry you've had to encounter the carousel so often. The airport? It's Love. Sometimes it just needs a time out.
Hope your next journey is pleasant, and nothing valuable gets lost on that carousel.
Happy holidays to you!

Ditto, the squirrel dude

I've always wondered the fate of unclaimed freight, especially fragile, perishable things.
