Tweener Wiener

The slow dance
Has come to an end,
The moment over
Your running again,
Tired scared and lonely
In need of a friend,
Another baptism
In the well of beginnings.

Painless healing
The face of a clown,
Even fairies
Must sometimes touch ground,
Left feeling ill
A puppet of the renoun,
Who’s aim it is
To cull the worthless and disgusting
Such is the plight
Of the caring and the trusting,
Destined to exist and die alone.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...

Strong poetry....love it...

The ending has much merit, bb...and is thought provoking...

Is it better to die alone or with someone who does not love you?

I am a bit puzzled by the title...?
But enjoyed the poem.

Culling...a novel way to view it. Well done, Ray, layers of emotion skillfully revealed.
