Round and Round

Round and round the whirlpool goes
Each day it’s closer to my nose
I bob about the currents flair
I know it’s useless but I dare

I splash the sufferance of a seem
Dream the substance of a dream
Twist and twirl infinity
Declare it all insanity

Reality is but a cane
To tap the darkness of insane
Walk a path of want to be
Forever sail a sailless sea

Each moment seems a pantomime
That dances on the grime of time
I cannot stand the words I cough
If this world stopped I would get off

Round and round the whirlpool goes
Each day it’s closer to my nose

Seymour~
Makes me want to sink into that whirlpool, yes it does~

There's a little Delaney sitting next to me wanting poetry read to her ... I'm sharing you with her ... I told her you are an artist and she wants me to show her some of your paintings~

LOL ... she also said to "hold your nose"~

Can you share some with us ?
Email me a painting or two or I'll have to resort to trolling the archives for that photo of when Lizzy came to your home ... there was a painting or two in the background ...~

*Huglets*
~*Marge & Delaney*~

~*No matter what I search for ...
let me know when it is LOVE that I find*~ <))><

Seymour!  You paint as well as write??!
You truly are very artistic!!
I have days where I want to stop the world and get off as well.
Know the feeling dear man..I know the feeling.
~Morning hugs, Smiles, and a hot cup of Chai tea, Nancy~

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

Morning Sy!

I rather injoy the insanity at this point.  It's familiar and I know how to handle it.

To tap the darkness of insane
Walk a path of want to be
Forever sail a sail less sea
this was so cool
forever sail a sail less sea

No, no, no, Mr Sy...you are the dream of all dreams...with many channels to yet be explored...

Chai tea would be fine.

Glad you are enjoying the whirlpool. LOL

The fact is I understand this all too well.  You just wonder when do you get off, and how right?  Better do something crazy each day Sy like I do, it helps the monotony some.  Hence, my slogan...

Carpe' Diem

Oh dear Sy

keep on twirling my dear, may your whirlpool never stop as we just love the words you cough....not suggesting there's an elixir for that
