Within Me

Within me is a phantoms place
A piece of space wrapped up in lace
A jewel within times legacy
That turns the wheels of fantasy

It is an alter egos cog
That keeps a timeless spirits log
It weaves each day a string of haze
That keeps my egos hearth ablaze

A mist of finest filament
Taken from life’s element
Knotted in a weave of cloth
That holds a fantasy of broth

And from that negative of sum
We pull the phantom of a plumb
And feed upon its calorie
To pay our mind its salary

Or else we would forever be
Upon a sea of infamy

Are you saying payback is, well,
possibly not.

Good morning, Sy!

Seymour darling man this is a froth of sheer delight, and evokes those memories of hazy days in liquid sunshine.

Wonderful writing as always, you shine like the star you are

Have a great day
Love and warm stuff
as always

Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold

Seymour~

Each day you offer
from a well-filled poetic coffer
Gems of penning in total delight
and my friend, they're ALWAYS JUST RIGHT~

In your light I learn how to love
In your beauty how to make poems
You dance inside my chest where
no one sees you and that sight becomes art

they say, what goes around comes around, like a boomerang, I suppose, just and precise, and most knowledgable.

Wonderfully written and expressed.

There is not ONE day goes by that I don't read you and learn from you. It absolutely amazes me where you take an ordinary word and I love the trip.

These two lines really did it for me, I liked the overall finish off the poem as well.
